Rocket League

Rocket League was free on PS+ but soon ballooned into one of the most popular games of the year.  It's an interesting game; you play as a remote controlled car that zips around a soccer field.  There is a giant soccer ball that you ram into and try to score goals.  So basically it's soccer with RC cars.  It's a simple premise and it doesn't seem like it would work very well, but it's incredibly fun.

 

In addition to regular driving you are able to gather and use a boost, you can jump and flip in the air, and . . . that's pretty much it.  However, these basic moves can be used in amazing ways and there are hundreds of YouTube videos of absolutely insane goals.  People slap the ball at a wall then position themselves precisely where the ball will land, and then smack it in with a front flip.

I don't really know what else I could say about this game other than it's simple and fun.  I've included a couple of videos I made so you can get a sense of what the game plays like.
