I received Rocket League from a friend who swore by it that it was fun and addicting.
Following that, I proceeded to play with him and some other friends; but we sucked...bad.

900+ logged hours later....

I am in the top 1% of all players in ranked and am addicted to this game!

Rocket league is a game that you can pickup for the first time and be terrible at, but have that feeling that if you fixed a few things, or made a few different moves, you could have done much much better. It is a fast paced game where:
-The idea of the game is simple
-The controls are exceptional! (For real, the cars all react to your controls exactly how you think they should.)
-The skill cap is insanely high
-Every single time the ball goes in the air, you feel like it is possible to make an insane goal off of it

Rocket league is the type of game that I can pickup for a few games and put back down, or I can just delve deep into an 8 hour session and keep trying to rank up and fix my mistakes I had last game.
------------------------------------
Psyonix (The developer) knows how to run this game. They are constantly pushing out new updates, patches, and content; most of which is free!
They allow you to customize your vehicles, so no two are the same. Or you and some friends can team up, create the exact same cars, then be a three man wrecking crew of flying vans!
Psyonix really thought of everything with Rocket league, and they keep adding more and more great content!
------------------------------------
All-in-all, Rocket league is a great game, cannot recommend it enough, and is totally worth even up to a price of $60!
(Even though I got it for free!)

So have fun in rocket league, work your way to the top, and....
