Our Review

8 /10

The good

New content exclusive to the Nintendo Switch.
Even more addictive when played on a handheld.
Easy to learn, hard to master skill-based gameplay.

The bad

Cross-platform multiplayer with PlayStation 4 players.
Missed opportunity to bundle previously released DLC.

Summary

Rocket League on Nintendo Switch may not be the best-looking version of the game, but it’s easily the most addictive. Its fun, fast-paced gameplay makes it perfectly suited to the portable platform, and the game has expanded considerably since its initial release with new modes, arenas and cars that all feature in the Switch version. Factor in the ability to play against an established online community of Xbox One and PC players, and Rocket League on the Nintendo Switch is a match made in heaven.
