Stranger Things may be in a post-season droop, however you wouldn’t comprehend it from games. You’ve received your Nancy and Steve popping into Dead By Daylight, and each bookstore and board game store on the town has these themed Dungeons & Dragons (& Demagorgons) starter kits mendacity about. Today, it’s Rocket League‘s flip to develop into haunted by the 80s, as Haunted Hallows arrive in car-footy land.
Frankly, I’d have simply turned the pitch the wrong way up. Would’ve been amusing.
Instead, we get a really spooky Farmstead to play on, Upside Down in theme if not geometry. That means loads of eerie mist, pink stormclouds, and a correct huge eldritch spectator watching the proceedings. 150 factors in case you bounce one off his head, I reckon.
There’s a bunch of themed hats, paint jobs, wheels and rocket bursts to slap in your automobile. Yes, it’s all nonetheless fairly “gosh, the 80s”, but it surely’s additionally absolute Halloween kitsch. I can’t keep mad at a automobile lined in spiders. A full record of those automobile kits could be discovered over on the Haunted Hallows event page.
Rocket League hasn’t fairly banished loot boxes simply but, but it surely has launched loot containers that appear like large golden pumpkins. Thankfully, occasion gadgets are earned by enjoying matches and incomes sweet corn, which I perceive to be absolutely the worst Halloween sweet throughout the pond.
My accomplice and I personally stopped watching Stranger Things about two episodes into the newest season. Would I’ve loved it extra if the children had been all vehicles? If these vehicles performed soccer? Who can say?
Rocket League’s Haunted Hallows occasion runs from immediately by November 11th.
