fun to play with not to beat

It triggers that part of your brain that says "You done good" So I like it!
THANKS FOR THE MANY ACHIEVEMENTS <3

Heart-pounding action. Unparalleled multiplayer rivalries. Controls tighter than an industrial vice grip. Graphics of an Atari 2600... thousand. Sound track like Beethoven had 30 extra years of hearing to train Jay-z to compose just the music for this game, and a seamless presentation to bring it all into one convenient three-dollar package.

To put it succinctly:

The Dark Souls of Racing-Action-Indie-Simulation-Casual-Funny-Great-Soundtrack-Arcade games.

As a competitive gamer, it's not often I'm able to find a game that continues to be enjoyable while I'm getting getting completely dominated; but Rocket League delivers that perfectly. I've played for almost 400-hours and I have yet to figure out why, exactly, this game is so fun to so many different people from so many walks of life. But whatever the reason, Psyonix has delivered a near-flawless hybrid cross between a Single-Character-Controlled Sports game (Soccer, Hockey, Basketball), a Racing game, a Flying game, and a competitive multiplayer experience.

Pros:
- Replayability is consistent.
- Servers cover /many/ regions. (Most of the world.)
- No single Battlecar has a distinct advantage in all fields over every other Battlecar. (There are pros and cons to every Battlecar.)
- Battlecar customizability feels endless.
- Fun for casual gamers.
- Fun for competitive gamers.
- Quick 5-minute matches so you aren't forced to risk losing after 45-minutes.
- Split-screen playable Local OR Online.
- Psyonix listens to players and integrates desired features.
- This Pros list could go on and on.

Cons:
- Not the easiest game to just pick up and play.
-- New players may become discouraged by having difficulty hitting the ball at all. (Don't give up! You'll get it down relatively quickly!)
- Online players can be incredibly rude (as with any online multiplayer game).
- It takes a LOT of time to become a skilled player.
- In-game voice chat quality is unbearable. (Most players use third-party VoIP programs to avoid this issue.)

It has been years since I've found a game that has me as addicted and dedicated as I am to Psyonix's Rocket League. This is a game I'll be playing for a long, long time.

9.5/10


EDIT: Paid DLC is not completely cosmetic, as DLC Battlecars have different hitboxes and turn radiuses than base cars. This, however, does not make any paid DLC Battlecar specifically better than base Battlecars. Every Battlecar has its pros and cons between hitboxes and turn radiuses.

A Physica Based Puzzle Game

+ The gameplay is pretty fun. The goal is to land the blue ball on the green platform. To do this you must explode the red blocks which will launch the yellow blocks away from the blast allowing the blue ball to reach the platform. Most levels have multiple red explosive blocks, so your job is to figure out which ones to explode and when.
+ As a sequel the main difference between Zup! 1 and Zup! 2 is the blue ball. Since it rolls, you have to make sure it doesn't roll off the platform. Zup! 2 also seems to rely a lot more on chain reactions, and levels that require you to slingshot the ball across the level with very precisely timed explosions.
+ Creatively designed levels which keeps the game feeling fresh and enjoyable from start to finish. (pretty surprising considering how simple the concept is)
+ The game has the right balance of not being too difficult while still being a fair bit challenging. Some stages make the player think a fair bit in order to find the solution.

- Sometimes the physics feels a bit "random" making a few stages reliant on luck which can be a bit irritating.

After 0.1 hours of gameplay i think i can do a somewhat fair review of this game.

GOOD GAME xdddd

He was a boy
She was a girl

And this is the saddest of my reviews

He likes Green Day
She loves Coldplay
She indeed cold played like a pro I must say

He wanted her
She'd never tell

Secretly she wanted him as well

But out of all the dudes
From which she could pick

Of course she picks Brad the professional d1ck

He was a sk8er boy
She said see you later boy
He wasn't good enough for her
She VHS and chilled with Brad
While he'd never treat her bad
This game just keeps driving me mad

Sorry girl but you missed out
Sk8er boy is away now
Could have been more that just good friends
But this is how the story ends

Too bad that she couldn't see
See the man that boy could be
There was more beyond her screen
His fading soul in that last scene

And I too died inside a bit
For every time he pressed delete
Asking nudes would have been better
Than talking about ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥' weather

At last he could only say goodbye
And I could only stare and cry
Then when he finally went away
I just wanted to be gay

Life is Strange is a work of art. This episodic graphic adventure features characteristics resembling those of a masterpiece. The game brilliantly displays the most impacting voice acting conveying the idea that it is real. The soundtrack that the game offers soothes the mind and works with the story beautifully. Every action and every decision that the player makes has consequences and there exists nothing that is excluded. This piece leaves the player with an experience that is unforgetable, one that will surely impact the way the player thinks from after they complete the game. The game not only presents graphics uniquely with a new way of expressing visuals, but also something that seems as if it was hand-drawn. The characteristics of the plot strike the player with such force that time is required to ponder over the elements of its development. The plot clearly exemplifies signs of originality, and the impression that things are not what they seem is boldly demonstrated. In addition, the game does a solid job at developing a crucial relationship between the characters and the player, leaving the player guilty or satisfied based on their decisions made. Life is Strange is the remark of the year of 2015, boldly establishing its place as one of the best games in history. I believe everyone deserves the oppurtunity to play this work of life lessons and morals, establishing its name as a game for everyone. Life is Strange is DONTNOD Entertainment's masterpiece, and nothing less. Life is very strange.

In a land a long, long time ago, Team Fortress 2 would be a critically acclaimed first person shooter. Boasting its colorful characters against the dreary palette of the Badlands, this game offered to many a wonderful experience. Later updates would add cosmetics, weapons, and a ton of other things to sink your teeth into. Some of those updates are not as well viewed by the community as others, like the addition of crazier and crazier hats. In recent years, the community has felt somewhat negatively towards the team of developers and their updates for this game. Though, there is something important to remember.

We first saw those deranged mercenaries nearly ten years ago! This game has been alive and kicking for a long time, and I doubt that you will soon see a day where these nine mercs aren't defying laws of physics, common sense, and sometimes all laws in general. You won't find many other games with a soviet in love with a 300 pound minigun who he just lugs around like it's nothing. Nor will you find a quick-witted, caffeine-fueled Bostonian who dances around the battlefield, dodging rockets and bullets like a madman. This game is very outlandish, and incredibly enjoyable. Even after years and years of pushing a payload down a track to blow up the enemies... people want to come back, because although there's some basis and objectives for the game modes, you never play the same game twice. Every match is a total surprise. Even competitively, the 9 classes and variety in what you can play with, it will give you a new experience almost every time you play.

Years of pushing a cart filled to the brim with explosives is a hard task. Thankfully, there are new faces, hats to wear, weapons to try, and a new experience to be had every single day.

I can't rate it 10/10 because the tenth player never joins
I can't rate it 9/10 because out of the 10 players in a match, only 1 speaks english
I can't rate it 8/10 because only 2 people on your team know how to use a weapon that is not a P90
I can't rate it 7/10 because it doesnt matter how good you are, 3 people on your team will yell at you.
I can't rate it 6/10 because the rest of the 4 players on your team won't shut up when you are last one alive
I can't rate it 5/10 because the 5 players on the enemy team are either too good, or really ♥♥♥♥ing bad.
I can't rate it 4/10 because 4 people rushed B and none survived..
I can't rate it 3/10 because valve doesn't like anything that has to do with 3, and will take down this review
I can't rate it 2/10 because only 2 team mates know call outs, but half of the time in a different language.
I can't rate it 1/10 because that is how much I lit the enemy with my glock despite having finished all of my ammo
I can't rate it 0/10 because 0 people in the discussion forms have any sort of common sense.

So I rate it an 11 because its a game I keep coming back to.
