Rocket League is a multiplayer-focused, third-person, vehicular sports game a lot like soccer. Players try to score goals by rocketing their car into a comically-oversized ball, knocking it into the opposing team's goal, while preventing the opposing team from doing the same thing.

Pros
Pro Clean and Clear visuals make for a very cool arcade-like experience
Rocket League's fantastic art style makes gameplay feel really clear and easy to understand at all times. The bright colors and crisp visuals also gives it that arcadey "pop" that makes it feel a lot more exciting than other car games.
Pro Simple controls
Whether you use a controller or keyboard and mouse, the controls are fairly simple. You are driving a car pushing a ball around, with forward, reverse, boost, power-slide and jump as your only real abilities to learn. The difficulty comes in learning to use them at the right times. Doing this will allow you to perform in-air and off the wall maneuvers, making for breath-taking and unexpected plays.
Pro Customization of cars is creative and fun
There are quite a few cars to choose from, including DLC cars such as the Delorean from Back to the Future. After picking a car, you can customized it with countless possibilities. You can change the paint scheme, color, paint type (gloss/flat, etc.), wheels, boost color, hat, and antenna toppers. This allows you to create a car that truly matches your style.
Pro Tons of fun for players looking to team up with friends
Rocket League is perfect for when you want to play with friends for some couch co-op or online play. Matches are fast-paced and quick, with a bunch of back-and-forth between which team has the ball and which team has chances to intercept and get the ball on their side of the field. Coordinating with your team can open up some awesome plays where you manage to outscore the other players or get some exciting last-minute intercepts. Plus, playing with a pre-set team helps you avoid the randomness of getting matched up with strangers who may or may not want to be team players.
Cons
Con Matchmaking can be slow at times
It can take a while to find a suitable opponent, particularly for higher-tier players. No one likes waiting around to join a match.

It can take a while to find an opponent, especially if you're a higher tier player, causing the queues to be even longer.
Out of Date Pros + Cons
Con Minimal in features
While there may be more modes added with DLC in the future, currently there are only three unique game modes. This might be off-putting for players looking for more variety.
