Onrush Reviews
Onrush takes an established genre and drives it down a new path. It creates an experience that is distinctly its own, but that includes a number of flaws. The Burnout-lite experience blends class-based gameplay in a handful of modes, and does so semi-successfully. Onrush has a strong premise at its core. If it adapts over time to focus more on its strengths, it may catch up to the competitive titles it set out to challenge.
If you've been craving a crazy destruction-filled action-packed racer then Onrush is a must-buy.
The main features missing from Onrush (traditional racing games modes and deep vehicle customization options) keep it from being truly amazing. What's being offered here is still a solid and memorable experience that should be taken for a spin.
ONRUSH tries a number of new things with its team-based driving mechanics, and some aspects of this gamble pay off better than others. Its speed and mechanics are sound, but those looking for something a bit more traditional best approach with caution.
I had a great time playing ONRUSH and was the first arcade game that I had played in a very long time. It was a great refresher to come back to after years of playing Forza and Sim racers.
Though it is capable of annoying at times, Onrush is hands down a brilliant arcade racer.
Obviously there I've made a ton of comparisons to Overwatch as this game obviously took inspiration from there. I wanted to talk about another game that I feel it has comparisons to and that's Rocket League. When I played Rocket League in Beta the first time I knew there was something special there, and I got similar feelings playing ONRUSH. It's new and different from your traditional car game in a really unique way. It has some growing to do in terms of what it's future looks like and how to keep a player base engaged, but it's following a good model for that. Hopefully we get a road map of what future updates look like going forward. Check this game out as I think we could be talking about it for a few years.
Onrush is the product of some seriously creative lateral thinking. It feels like something Codemasters cooked up whilst down at the pub, that when it put into practice, found worked better than ever imagined. It takes some of the best attributes of Burnout, SSX, and MotorStorm, but turns the experience on its head with fresh ideas, and some gameplay mechanics borrowed from the world of first-person shooters. It's a gorgeous and intense arcade racer, which is both a throwback and something totally original. There are a few kinks. With one misstep, one or two tracks will throw you away from the action all too easily, and side-swipe takedowns aren't as easy as they should be in certain vehicles. The trick system, too, could be more elaborate. However, overall, Onrush is just a fantastic change of pace. It excels in scratching an itch that you never knew existed. Extremely good fun!
Onrush is an exciting new direction and a refreshing change of pace for a racing game that is built on top of teamwork. It has some great competitive modes and a promising multiplayer support, but the lack of gameplay variety can affect its long-term appeal.
Overall, Onrush can be considered a fun and entertaining game that shows a fair quality in all its components, including gameplay, area design, music, sound, etc. The game can really convey the pleasure of fighting and destruction and has proved well in this regard. Its gameplay cannot be seen in other games. however, the most significant disadvantage is its high $60 price; Onrush has not enough content compared to the charged price.

It's a one-of-a-kind experience that adds freshness to a market that desperately needed it. The vehicle abilities, awe-inspiring crashes, and the over-the-top action make Onrush a must play for anyone who enjoys racing games. Hell, even if driving games aren't your cup of tea, Onrush is one cup that everyone should try.
Onrush may surprise with its fun and thrilling elements that'll offer in every match, and I think the best thing the game did is killing off selfishness and improving the co-op gameplay. Recommended for fast-racing games fans.

Repetitive gameplay and high price prevent Onrush from becoming a new benchmark in racing genre, but it can still be fun for die hard fans of arcade racing.

Onrush took the best from the dynamic arcade races and diluted the formula with elements from the session games. It turned out fresh and incredibly exciting.

Creators of Motorstorm introducing a new kind of racing. It is amusing but without full-featured multiplayer.

Onrush rapidly became one of my favorite arcade titles because of its frenetic pace and fun gameplay. Even with its small amount of content, I can see myself playing Onrush for a long time.

All in all, Onrush turns out to be a wonderful and addicting entry into the racing genre.
After my time with On Rush, I got over Evolution Studio's closure in a heart beat. On Rush is the first collaboration between two racing giants that shows its deep heritage and creates a new formula for itself. All in a, it's the perfect package of what an arcade racing game should be.

ONRUSH is a fantastically fun game that reminds us why we love to get behind the virtual wheel and boost/takedown our way through the opposition.
Strangely enough, Onrush checks every item on my gamer wishlist while still staying well below its potential. It's beautiful, fun and technically sound, but it also has an identity crisis that won't go away anytime soon. It's a great casual online experience that wants to be more than that — but doesn't actually offer enough to achieve it. The continuous updates may nudge the game closer to that goal, but recent layoffs at the studio don't instill hope that updates will continue at a consistent rate. If you're looking for a fun, bare-bones, online racing experience, Onrush may still be the perfect game for you. It still has a long way to go to fulfill its potential.
