Rocket League

Top Pro

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. See More

Top Con

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. See More

Top Pro

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 best use these motions when performing off-the-wall manoeuvres and in the air, making way for breath-taking replays. See More

Top Con

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. See More

Top Pro

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. See More

Top Pro

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. See More

Top Pro

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. See More

Top Pro

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.

Burnout Paradise

Top Pro

A huge selection of cars

The game has about 75 cars available in 3 different categories that can be unlocked by progressing through the game. See More

Top Con

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. See More

Steam Rating:Very Positive

Steam Rating:Mostly Positive

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 accessible. See More
