rocket league review 2020
Test: Rocket League: A must-have evening with friends?How about immersing yourself in a futuristic sport skillfully combining football and motor racing? This is what Rocket League offers, an atypical title worthy heir to Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars, from the same developers. A bit repetitive, not really innovative compared to its ancestor on PS3, we are therefore entitled in 2015 to wonder what has to offer this discount to the taste of the day of the crazy concept of the foot-car ... Hang your belt and hold on we are entering the Rocket League!
HOW CAN FOOTBALL MIX WITH MOTORIZED COMPETITION?
First, let's talk about the very principle of the game, which should intrigue more than one. To put it simply, know that you are here in closed and symmetrical arenas, real stages of competition in short with goals at each end. In the center of the arena, there is a huge sphere which acts here as a balloon. Your goal, you have surely guessed it: push the ball into the cages of the team opposite (blue or orange) and beat it. The opposing team can be made up of one, two, three, or four opponents. The playing field is dotted with power-up zones that allow you to recharge a turbo gauge, which can be used to move more quickly on the different maps that make up the content of the title.
In case of contact with an opposing vehicle, and believe me it will often happen, it is the one who will take the most shocks. It is possible to explode or detonate your opponents, and in this case a rapid respawn is put in place to maintain the fluidity of the game. Several tricks can be used during the game and overall the gameplay is ultra simple and intuitive. We can move, use the turbo, wander the camera or lock it on the ball, make skids and jump (single or double) to do pirouettes in the air and energize our actions. There, you know everything about the concept of the title. But once in play, does this formula work?
AN EXCITING AND EFFICIENT RECIPE, IDEAL FOR MULTI PARTS!
After testing a few games with bots at a very questionable level in the early stages of difficulty, we will quickly try to play a full season against AI, a not really exciting mode that spans several weeks of tournament. The opportunity for us to unlock a slew of customizable elements for our vehicle: models, paintings and accessories are therefore part of it. Quite quickly, we tell ourselves that facing real humans a little more "realistic" than the different levels of AI would be a good idea ... This is how we end up on a rather effective matchmaking tool on PC, which offers games for several (up to 8 in 4v4), games classified up to 6 in 3v3, split screen up to 4 players and of course online with friends through a group system.
It is also through these multiplayer escapades that the title takes on its full meaning and that we use with more or less skill the pirouettes and double jumps to skillfully direct the ball towards the cages. For each goal, a replay is available and it is also possible to save and view the matches with various camera angles, just to enjoy a maximum of matches with friends. After a few setbacks at launch both online and on optimizing the title on PlayStation 4, Rocket League seems on track to be the perfect little game that comes out at parties with friends, just to have fun for a few hours, while training from time to time online to raise your level and unlock all of the content.
The notes
+ Positive points
Atypical and well thought outImmediate fun
One of the must-have for quick games with friends
Online friendly
Simple, pretty, and quite frantic
Negative points
Not revolutionary for a penny compared to its predecessorA little too expensive for what he has to offer (knowing that his ancestor was sold 2 times cheaper when he left)
We would have liked a little more depth in the gameplay and in the content
An AI either totally zero or much too precise and efficient
Rocket League completely assumes itself as the result of a delusional UFO and offers the same concept, brought up to date. If the solo experience leaves a little taste of frustration, because of a limited lifespan and an AI sometimes completely zero sometimes too precise depending on the level of difficulty chosen, the real potential of the game is clearly revealed in multiplayer. Offering a split screen mode that can accommodate up to 4 players and online up to 8, Rocket League puts us at the heart of an atypical sport, served by a basic gameplay that will still require a certain mastery and a bit of strategy. if we want to build a qualitative and spectacular game. A good pick for evenings with friends and for fans of online stripping.
