No wait, don't leave just because it's soccer and has cars. That's what I did for months, and I regret it.

Rocket League is best experienced by playing it once. Anywhere, in any state of mind. Just try it once and you'll know if you'd like to play it more. I did, and was hooked. Bought the game the very next day and have averaged 4 hours per day since.

The concept is simple enough: You control a car. There's a ball and some goals. The opponent is trying to mess you up and you're trying to put the ball in their goal. Think kindergarten kids playing soccer: They're all just running after the ball with no clue about what to do with it, other than to kick it.

Then you start doing pinch-moves on the walls, flying through the air, dribbling on the roof of your car. More advanced techniques to accompany your game. You've become the average player, making some nice looking plays in the air.

After a while, you realize there's even a deeper level still. There's positioning, strategies, passing plays, mind-games... While the barrier to entry is really low - It might take you literally less than a minute to get familiar with the controls - it takes years to get to the top, to master some things that are possible. The skill ceiling is impossibly high.

The best part is: You'll be having fun all the way.
