18 Essential Xbox One Games Every Owner Must Play

5. Rocket League

Rocket League

Is there any sensation in gaming quite so satisfying as scoring a goal in Rocket League? Coming from someone who cares as much about football as he does learning to tapdance, there's something about what Psyonix have created, that makes it the greatest game about football ever created.

The feeling of coordinating team tactics on the fly, lining up shots, hightailing it back to goal for a spot of defence and then going all-out to drive momentum back the other way, it's strange that a game about flying rocket-powered cars can connote such familiar feelings from our collective childhoods, but it does so to such a satisfying degree, it's occasionally hard to put into words.

Rocket League is multiplayer perfected, and the one game that now it's made its way onto Xbox, even the staunchest Halo devotees need to try out.
