I've already spent many hours in this game. Given the current size of the community (some say the community is dead), I honestly struggled a bit to get to just under 75 hours of gameplay. I'm trying my best to will my way to prestiging in the game versus pretty much all AI. It's a slog.

When the community was bustling during beta and the early days of early access, I was extremely happy. This game is so frantic and fun, I honestly enjoy it more than other arcade-y sports games like Rocket League. Where with Rocket League I feel like I'm always fighting with my controller, Laser League has very natural movement that make me feel in complete control. When I die in Laser League, it's usually due to a stupid mistake or an outstanding play by the other team. In Rocket League, I feel like I miss shots because, well, it's not exactly easy to control a flying car and hit a ball perfectly (though I still do love Rocket League!).

Anyway, people ask me if they should still buy this game right now. There's just no way I could possibly recommend it to anyone until one of two things happen: the developers pump massive money into marketing - we're talking advertising on a pretty massive scale catered towards sports enthusiasts and esports fantatics. Say, like during the NBA finals, World Series, Super Bowl all the way in 2019, or release this game on PS4 and other consoles, but make it a PS Plus game for a month to rope people in for free and give the game a much needed shot in the arm player base-wise. As it is right now, I'm seeing only 6 people playing the game at 8:30pm on a Saturday night (pacific time). That's tragically sad.

I will keep playing this game for as long as I can stomach it. Do I recommend this game? ABSOLUTELY! If you can get a free code or something. It's a ton of fun, especially with friends. But I just can't recommend a $15 purchase of this game - a heavily multiplayer dependent game - until the player base increases. Roll7, 505 Games, if you really want to save this game, a game that Roll7 has CLEARLY put a lot of love and effort into, you know what you need to do. Please make it happen.
