This game is very fun and it's always a great time when I play it, but be aware, it is effectively dead. There have been no recent updates from the developers, there are very few players (if any) on at any one time, and the servers work intermittently.

There is no offline or solo mode, and private games require two humans minimum (even though there are bots available). If you have friends that are interested in playing this, then it can be a very fun time for everyone. The controls and style of gameplay are very similar to Rocket League (I personally find this more fun than RL). But if you want to play it on your own + bots, forget it, the game won't actually let you.

According to their mostly dead Discord server, the game has not had a meaningful update since late 2024, and since TGR is specifically positioned as a live service game (with a season pass-style way of earning cosmetics and a shop for the in-game currency), it's really a shame that the developers have largely ignored it. TGR clearly has potential and room to grow, it's obvious to me even though I've only put 11 hours into it (at the time of review). At this point it'd honestly be better for them to just make it free to play, but I can't see them pulling the trigger on that (though it does still get good sales every now and then).

I would love to say I recommend this game, because it really is a lot of fun and I look forward to playing it, but considering the state of the servers, the attention it gets from the developers, the inability to play solo + bots, and the overall community engagement, I just cannot recommend it at this time, though I really hope that changes in the near future, because, as I've said, this game clearly has potential. I just wish the developers could see that too.

Dead game. Cannot find any matches online.

Finally, we have an answer to the age old question: "What if Rocket League and Mario Kart?"
