PuckOFF

This game is what I imagine a hockey anime would be like. Indie game that clearly is meant to be a polar opposite of the NHL series. Tough as nails!

PuckOFF is my (as a hockey fan) wet dream(or nightmare). It takes the best things out of hockey, like fighting and I don't know... FIGHTING, and turns the game into this fascinating mixture of: "Do I want to score, or do I want to beat the **** out of the opposing team?" Controls are, fair to say, difficult at first, but kinda makes sense when you're controlling only one player. I just thought of it as Rocket League and it just made sense. Fighting in this game is fun, and it doesn't stop the gameplay, like in many other hockey games (NHL, Bush League). There's also a story, which is a rare thing to find in a hockey game. Haven't finished it yet, but there's definitely a good vibe in the storyline, and you can feel your character improving when leveled up. Bosses are quite hard, but I guess they just need a strategy to get through them. As for the improvements, in the future an online multiplayer would definitely be something I'd look forward to. Game has a split-screen local multiplayer, but this kind of game played online would be great!
