20 Best Video Games Of The Decade
16. Rocket League
A game so simple and effective, it went from overnight sensation to eSports tournaments around the world, Rocket League is quite literally "football with cars", but therein lies the beauty of it.
Aping football in structure, all of Rocket League is physics-dependant. It means that unlike pushing a button to shoot, here your car is one giant foot, requiring specific placement to pass, lob or go for goal.
The learning curve therefore, is meta. There aren't any skills to "unlock" or points to invest - only time to practice and get better.
Once you start slamming shots home with explosions and crowd-cheers accompanying each blast; dribbling past opponents or drifting up the walls to catch an incoming shot, it's a sense of fist-pumping victory few sports titles ever nail.
