10 Essential Indie Games Every Gamer Should Play
2. Rocket League (2015)
The simplest way to describe Rocket League is football (or soccer for US readers) with cars. The game offers a variety of modes to keep players entertained but it is the online multiplayer that has been the key to enduring success.
Games are played either 2 Vs 2 or 3 Vs 3 and last for just five minutes. At first this may appear to be a fairly simple game but it soon reveals its hidden depths thanks to the fantastically responsive controls, which allow for all manner of skills and tricks, and the need to effectively work with your teammate(s) if you’re ever going to succeed in the competitive online environment.
The manner in which Psyonix continue to support this title with free updates to the arenas, vehicles and decals also has to applauded, especially in an age where many of the bigger developers seem to want to wring every last penny out of their customers.
