Rocket Arena (PS4)

My son and I split on this game ($40) hoping for something new to play and what started out as a fun little distraction.  Within a couple weeks we were back to our "steady's", me with "Modern Warfare" and him with "Fortnite".  It's an interesting game of "Smash Bros meets Overwatch" and while it sounds amazing in concept, the shooting just doesn't feel good.  Shots travel too slow while the mobility is quite high, so it becomes a guessing game as to where to shoot.  I'm sure there are ways to get "better", I mean I've been crushed by other teams many times, but when there's little desire to get better, or yet to even play, why bother?  Rumor has it this game is going "Free to Play", that's what I'd say it's worth.  Pass.
