Rocket League

Easy-to-use 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 the primary motions at the player's disposal. The more challenging aspect comes in the form of learning how to b...

Objective of the game made clear and straightforward

•••
Get the ball in the net! Soccer at it's simplest, this game is physics driven using different cars as players, making it a fast-paced and exciting game with a basic underlying objective.

Great for quick play sessions

•••
Each game has a time limit of 5 minutes, paused only when one team scores and the ball is reset to mid-field.

Supports split-screen on PC

•••
This is a rare feature for a PC game. You can therefore play with friends in the same room, which is made even easier with wireless controllers. Obviously a larger monitor would make this experience more enjoyable, but even on a 20 inch screen it is playable with minimal loss of detail.

Customization of cars is creative and fun

•••
With DLC there are quite a few cars to choose from, including the Delorean from Back to the Future. The player can create a customized car with countless possibilities, ranging from choice of paint scheme, color, paint type (gloss/flat, etc.), wheels, boost color, hat, and antenna toppers.

Exaggerated but exciting physics dimension

•••
The physics element of the game slightly bends reality, making way for a more thrilling experience where everything seems to be behaving as though there is less gravity. This means that cars can somewhat fly around if they hit one another or go up ramps.

Matchmaking can be slow at times

•••
This is especially the case if you're a higher tier player as it can take a while to find a suitable opponent.

Minimal features and basic gameplay

•••
Other than the main gameplay mode, there are few options within the game. While in time there may be DLC, the game is currently rather bare and basic in terms of modes of play.

Reseting failed races takes time

•••
Since the game is set in a huge open world, getting back to the starting line can take time. And there's no way to skip this process.

Street Fighter V

Top Pro

Great for newcomers

•••
Something that may have held people back from playing this series was the tough controls for pulling off successful combos and special moves. This has been tweaked in SF V, as the controls are a bit easier to understand as well as pull off. This was done by design in order to make the game more acc...
