Pure PBM fun.

Well, after 100+ hours I've decided to write a negative review on rocket league. After the most recent update, everything linked with Epic games. Alright, weird but whatever. Then I get in the game, and find that *only anytime I actually need to play* the game, it does not recognize my controller input. I can navigate menus like a Grand Champ, but the moment the car is in front of me, I guess the game goes full ♥♥♥♥♥♥. I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ loved this game. I was sinking so many hours into it, practicing, playing casual to learn, playing competitive to test my skill. I really loved this game. I was even on board with all the upcoming changes they were making. I was like, "Sure, it could be cool to see what the devs do with this game." Turns out when you fix something that isn't broken you can royally ♥♥♥♥ up. Maybe it's just me, I'm not sure. But I now have no way to play the way I've been practicing for over 100 hours. So ♥♥♥♥ this, ♥♥♥♥ that, and ♥♥♥♥ them.

Edit: I play again, after a long pause. I refuse to spend any additional money on the game, and the player base seems to have suffered. But whatever, it's a game my daughter and I both enjoy playing.

Second Edit: Sure is cool how you can block toxic players, then get thrown into matches in casual with said toxic players, and then get penalized for leaving the casual match with toxic players that you blocked. Sure is wonderful how I keep getting "rare" items that I already have from before epic bought the damn game. Heads up to how wonderful this game is.

Overall a fun game, if a bit uninspired. I try not to compare it to the Devil May Cry series, as it makes some serious departures and creative... "liberties?" Anyway, I'll get to the pros and cons, but at the end of the day it's fun, but I caution against buying for full price, as I don't find it to be worth the current price.

-Pros
Fun, stylish combat
Fast paced
Rewards exploration
Occasionally funny dialogue

-Cons
Art style is flat an uninspired, feels like it was designed by a congregation of angsty teenagers
Characters similarly feel as flat, even Dante and Virgil lack real charm or dimension
They throw a series of weapons and skills at you all in one mission, which makes it a bit cumbersome to get a good feel for
each style's flow
Dialogue (swearing especially) feels forced, like each character felt like they had to go out of their way to say what the script says
The story is a little convoluted, again it feels like they put in little twists/changes that didn't really add anything to the story or lore of the reboot. They made Dante a Nephilim, made his mother an angel, which in a more western sense I suppose they intended to make the twins more of a savior type. It gives them some cool abilities, but it makes the whole story feel kind of trite and washed up.


Tbh, I don't like the characters in this game. They all seem edgy for the sake of looking edgy. Virgil wears a damn fedora. Dante's main personality trait is that he can say "♥♥♥♥." They all sound flat, they all act flat, they all feel flat. I really can't drive enough of the point home that this story, characters, and art feel like some kids in high school did it. The combat style is really the saving grace of this game, and even that at times feels pretty mediocre at times.

Honestly it's pure fun. Plays like Halo with some portal mechanics, free to play in the same way Apex Legends is. Shame that this game has such a low player base.

It starts slow, but once you get into the meat of the game it opens up. Feels more tactical than tactile but it's loads of fun.

A little on the short side, but with the arcade style and soundtracks, I absolutely love it.
