Rocket League
Top 5 Co-Op Games of Q4 2017
Chances are that you’ve probably heard someone speak of the fun they’ve had with Rocket League at some point this console generation. Originally released over two years ago, the title has since garnered a massive esports following due to its compelling vehicular gameplay. If you’re unfamiliar with it, traditional league matches either pit players against each other or allow them to join cooperatively to compete against other teams as each opposing faction tries to ram a giant illuminating ball into the opposite net. This soccer/football premise sounds simple in writing, but there’s actually a whole lot of strategy and precision involved in winning a game, not to mention pulling off some fancy tricks while you’re at it.
A Switch iteration of Rocket League launched this past November and bares nothing from its console and PC counterparts. Different terrains like ice hockey rinks and basketball courts can be found alongside all the exciting power-ups that have since been introduced to the title. The Switch version also allows users to drive Mario, Luigi, and Samus-themed cars as they play, meaning die-hard Nintendo fans can geek out while coordinating whether the red or green brother would be the car to guard the net.
