WOW! Rocket League is amazing!
Rocket League is one of this month's free PS+ games. It's basically 3 vs 3 car soccer. I know that sounds ridiculous, and it is, but the mechanics are so fucking good that I ended up playing over 25 matches, most of them online against other players. The objective is to score more goals than the other team before the 5 minute clock expires.
The controls are what really make the game work as well as it does. The camera is fixed on the ball, so that makes it easy to keep track of the play. There's a rocket boost, a jump, a double jump a forward flip, a backwards flip and a side flip. The action is fierce because there are no bounds to the play field, instead there are curved walls and a ceiling.
It's hard to describe, but I really loved playing this game against other real people. It feels like a real sport, except the physics are impossible in the real world. I ended up playing a sort of offensive defense mode, usually hanging back and anticipating the play, then charging in when the time is right, kind of like an offensive defenseman in hockey.
