Rocket League® Reviews

I love this game, truly i do, but WTF! why the hell have you, made the proccess of trying to log into the damn thing such a fucking chore?! especially when i already have an existing account that the system refuses to acknowledge?

I hate this game and I've started to hate my friends while playing it... but I just can't stop playing.

Game creates an Epic Games account then automatically links it to your Steam. You're then required to create a NEW Epic games account to unlink your Steam account. Tim Sweeny is a bastard that should not be allowed near a computer, or any human being for that matter.

Rocket League or “car soccer” at the time of its release offered a unique, addicting competitive gameplay experience with smooth gameplay, fun visuals, and head booping music. Today, it still has all of those things. However as of now it hasn’t received a significant update in nearly 6 years, only changing its promotional collaboration with whatever company of the month it chooses. The once casual playerbase has mostly fallen off and the game is now only played by people with 3000+ hours of experience purposefully playing on new accounts so they can dunk on you. It’s also now delisted on Steam and can only be found on Epic Games, which is quite a disappointment.

Without a doubt the most frustrating online game in recent weeks. The game is flooded with smurfs and ddos attacks that makes the game simply unplayable. What's sad is that this game was once "without any fault" meaning the game ran perfectly fine, the matchmaking was superb and the whole experience was something unique. Since the last update something weird has plagued the game, to the point where my friend and I genuinely think the script and the game is against us, that could be because we suck, but you don't typically rank down from diamond 3 to plat 3 in one week :/ so make of that what you will but overall the game feels way off than what it always felt like and I hope they address the glaring issues plaguing the game cause this is not fun!

Rocket League is one of the most overrated games I’ve ever played. What was once a fun and unique concept has devolved into a toxic, unbalanced, rage-inducing mess. First off, the matchmaking system is an absolute joke. One match you're paired with competent teammates, the next you're stuck with players who don’t even seem to understand the basic mechanics. It feels like skill-based matchmaking is completely non-existent. You win a few games and suddenly you’re thrown into a lobby with players way above your level — only to lose ten games in a row. The community? Utterly toxic. If you're not constantly muted or reporting players, you're being insulted in chat by salty teammates or trolls who spend more time quick-chat spamming than playing. The “report” system is laughably ineffective and does little to curb the rampant negativity. Let’s talk about lag and hit detection. The servers are unreliable at best. Latency spikes out of nowhere, and the physics — which are supposed to be the core of the game — suddenly feel inconsistent. Sometimes the ball reacts realistically; other times, it's like playing in a weird gravity simulator with zero predictability. Customization and monetization are another massive issue. It’s a cash grab. Battle passes, overpriced cosmetic bundles, and loot-like item drops make it feel like they care more about squeezing money out of players than delivering a consistent gameplay experience. And let’s not forget that half the “new content” is just recycled items with different colors. Rocket League is the perfect example of a game that had potential but has been utterly ruined by greedy monetization, incompetent matchmaking, and a community that makes the experience actively unpleasant. I regret the hours I’ve wasted on this game.

In the years since Epic took over ownership of Rocket League, it has undergone an overwhelming Fortnite-ification to it's detriment. Without a committed team of players, it's become impossible to consistently find matches with players that match your own skill level. The game has become nothing more than a spotty cash grab, and the only consistency between matches is the inconsistency of the teammates you are forced to compensate for, and the opponents you are matched against. With over 1,600 hours in the game, I can no longer in good conscience recommend this game as it has become no more than an exercise in frustration and futility.

There’s not much to say. Unique gameplay. Easy to learn, hard to master.

I've spent 2489 hours chasing a ball with strangers in a tiny toy car. Used to be a well adjusted adult. I've screamed at crossbars, apologised to walls, went through couple of controllers, my dog leaves the room when she hears the sound of game booting up. I'm always missing that one win to rank up, every game is "the last one". Not sure why I even play anymore, definitely not for fun, probably because I do not know how to stop. Would do it all over again.
