Rocket League Recommendation

My recommendation is in the gaming field, although my game time has significantly decreased due to the start of college and what comes with college. Regardless after completing most of my work I reward some time with some games. The game that I play a lot is a free to play game called “Rocket League”. It can be found on Playstation, Xbox and PC. It came out in 2015 and it’s still popular today, playing this throughout Middle and High-School was very fun throughout my life.  the objective of the game is to play car soccer or other given game modes within the game to win and get high ranks. Each game is 5 minutes long and if the game is tied at the end of the timer it goes into overtime where then it is golden goal, the first team who scores wins the game. The ranked scene is very popular and competitive within the community. The community in the game is also something that is very important and it relates to this recommendation I am making, they have their own language and terminology with the game to better understand each other to win the game. Some simple terms would be a 3 stack where a group of 3 players will all play together in a pre made squad. Within the community, one of the most infamous terms would be “What a Save!”. This is a very toxic term because it will raise tension to the other team and mess up with their mentality and make more mistakes. It is used when scoring making it seem like the goal scored by the messengers was an easy goal and is being very sarcastic with the statement. As well as the game being about car soccer, I really enjoy it because I do really like soccer ever since a young age. It combines really well because I am able to merge my soccer language with my rocket league language. Other than soccer there are many other modes to play casually and have fun. The skill level in this game is very high so an above average player will not have a good change when playing against someone on the higher ranks of the game. This game involves patience and a lot of practice if someone tries to get better learning many different tactics and plays they can make on the field. Very similar to being a College Student, putting in the time in the right places will benefit compared to just being at lectures and writing unorganized notes that will not help you. Overall I really have fun playing this game during my free time either solo or with friends which do make the game way more fun. Sometimes there will be impulsive language but its all part of the game and it will be irrelevant after the game because you will already be in the next because of the fast queue times. Staying focused in this game is very beneficial just like staying focused in school.

  1. Rocket League is such a fun game! Like you said you really have to practice to be good at the game. From what I remember the game was not free to play back then, but now it is and I might give it a second try.
