A simple challenge from Top Gear might have been the inspiration of this game, but the game developed into something more than just ramming a ball to a goalie. The easy to pick up, hard to master mechanics is one of the main keys to create a competitive game with a high skill ceiling. However, this game did not only captured the eyes of many because how complex the game is. It established a successful e-sport scene with the help of the developers in three years and it is still going strong. By 2018, the game had six seasons of their championship under the name "Rocket League Championship Series" and the recent event had a prize pool of a million dollar. As a comparison, it took four years for CSGO to make a six figure prize pool for their tournament and CSGO was arguably more popular than rocket league in 2016.

This game is not without problems from the developers and the community themselves however. Some of the veterans had probably encounter some game breaking glitches over the past few years and the servers have not been entirely stable since it came out (although numbers of fixes has been made). While it is true that the community is deemed to be toxic by many, there are always a bad side in every competitive games out there. So if people are looking for a great game with a mechanic so complex that makes them intrigued to keep on learning as well as trying to compete for their championship, yet able ignore the toxicity and some hiccups from Psyonix, this game is a must have.
