4 | ROCKET LEAGUE

Rocket League is a unique and complex game that redefines the genre of what sports games can be. It’s a perfect meld of two awesome things: cars and football. We recommend using the Orzly Party Pack’s JoyCon grips for this game, so you can keep a firm hold of your controller during those sweaty edge of your seat moments. Even if you don’t like football Rocket League is a wonderfully exciting and competitive game which is satisfying to play. Hone your abilities and summersault, barrel roll, and bicycle kick the ricocheting ball into the goal to the delight of your teammates. Play local co-op 1v1, 2v2, or if you have a second Nintendo Switch connect up for 4v4. Rocket League offers hours of fun and features tonnes of unlockable and tradable cosmetic items with a plethora of awesome cars to choose from. It’s so easy for anyone to pick up and play but takes a lot of dedication to hone those trick shots.
