Arcade racing is making a comeback and Onrush is the perfect dose of over-the-top racing by throwing a wrench into the traditional racing works and watching it explode into something that requires your undivided attention to take out the opposition and going as fast as you can, rather than getting over the finish line.

ONRUSH is a nice break from the standard fair of racers. It offers some unique modes and fun visuals as well as a solid arcade gameplay experience. It does suffer from a pretty simple combat system and some odd design choices in regards to the cosmetic shop but honestly despite these shortcomings is still a blast to play. Overall it's a fun romp of a racer that offers some fresh, intense multiplayer gaming for you and your buddies.

Onrush is a very fun and entertaining racing game for the fans of Motorstorm and Burnout, which could've been better if the developers added more real identity to the cars. A relatively small number of routes and a low difficulty also affects the excitement and final impression.

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.

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.

Onrush is a fast arcade racing game, which will have enough to please fans if it continuously offers free content and a solid ranked mode. There are some bugs that taint the picture, but they are acceptable, and hopefully, future patches will correct them and evolve the game so that we can continue to ride for a long time.

Onrush is one of the better multiplayer games on the market and is easily a game for all ages. The customization, competition, and teamwork all make for a heck of an afternoon of gaming. And where it is 7v7, you can't possibly run out of spots for friends to come get some.

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.

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.

Onrush is one of the more intriguing (non)racers to come down the pike in quite some time; a slick, lightning-paced breath of fresh air for those who find Gran Turismo and Forza Motorsport drier than sawdust.

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.

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 a great arcade racing game that scratches so many itches. I wish the single player was a little more drawing and diverse. I also wish some of the modes were a little more exciting, but as a new take on the genre, it feels fantastic. Don't skip this one, it is a must-play for anyone that enjoys arcade racing.

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.

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.

If you've been longing for a driving game with more destruction than you can keep up with, Onrush delivers. There are many things unique about this new arcade racer, the top being that the term “racer” is a misnomer.

When everything is clicking, Onrush feels amazing, but until your skill can catch up with the insanity that's happening on-screen, I can see this being a frustrating experience for less patient gamers.

With ONRUSH, Codemasters has given arcade racing a shot in the arm. It has taken a tired genre and freshened it up by changing what the goal should be in a racing game. With the omission of standard races and the focus on teamwork this is a type of game that has never been seen before and should be a must but for anyone who gains even the slightest enjoyment from ultra speeds and vehicular mayhem.
