Rocket League

Good for Psyonix. They are supporting their game in the right way, and they’ve created a gameplay loop that’s super addictive and full of ridiculous moments and co-operative hijinks. Like everyone else, I want to see the server issues stabilized, but Rocket League has already shown itself to be a winner.

For those of you who grew up with some of the more outrageous sports games like NFL Blitz and NBa Jam, Rocket League can offer some invaluable fun and playtime. It’s hard to beat solid mechanics and a sense of camaraderie you usually only get from playing sports. So gear up, head out to the pitch, and score some goals for all the kids who wished they owned Tyco RC cars years ago.

Offline, Rocket League fares less well, with its AI either too easily bested or intensely difficult to beat, and a season mode that suffers accordingly, despite its slew of unlockable cars and accoutrements. That's a minor concern: multiplayer is Rocket League's priority, and it delivers.
