Rocket League is a good example of a game. It’s car soccer, and it doesn’t get much deeper than that. It’s fun. It’s frustrating. It has a wide range of skilled players and the match making is good. Again, it’s car soccer.

What stands out to me isn’t specifically Rocket League in general, but the idea that something can be a polished version of something simple, a good-not-great game, and yet have me playing it monthly for nearly a decade. Sometimes you just want to play car soccer, you know? And that’s alright. That’s why games like rocket league exist.
