Day 91 - "I must get better."
Day 180 - "I've played every day since I bought this game. Send help."

Day 384 - "This game literally inhabits my dreams. Carball is all I know. "


In all seriousness...

This game is ridiculously fun. Unlike a sports simulation where you simply press a button to pass or shoot, you're given total control over a Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket Powered Battle Car. You physically ram your vehicle into the ball to dribble, pass, and shoot. The concept is ludicrous and results in one of the best games I've personally ever played.

At low levels, the game is slow paced as people become accustomed to the mechanics, but never does it cease to harbor massive levels of enjoyment. As the game opens up (from your skill and grasp of the controls), you'll start to see the game in a totally different way. Everywhere on (and above) the field is now open to play, and you can start creating teamplay opportunities you never thought possible. The game progressives like such throughout your time playing, and the skill ceiling is incredibly high (if not non-existant). I'll spare you my ranting, but regardless of winning, losing, or who I was playing with or against, it has always been a good time.

On a different note, the game is almost nearly as amazing to watch as it is to play. The "Rocket League Championship Series"[twitch.tv] is the official Psyonix/Twitch partnered eSports event. Alongside the pro's, there is competition at nearly every level. The community is bright and active, and the devs are some of the most interactive and supportive creators I have ever seen in the game industry. Please take a chance, grab some friends, and give this game a try. It will be fun. And once you're hooked, be sure to come hang out on the subreddit or check out the dedicated fan site (http://rocket-league.com) to learn more about the community and rapidly growing eSports scene.
