Onrush was a somewhat fresh take on arcade racing games. Instead of racing to the finish line, you compete in teams to compete different objectives.

However the servers shut down as of late 2022, making only solo gameplay possible. However, for some reason solo progression is locked behind being connected to the servers. Meaning you can’t increase your player rank (you can still get exp for it though?) or be able to unlock nearly all of the customization options.

General gameplay is fine for the most part, you have different vehicles to choose from with each of them having different but situational abilities. My two biggest issues are: 1. Vehicle durability can be a bit strange. Sometimes you can tank multiple hits from enemy vehicles, and other times you instantly explode if you look at a wall the wrong way.

The music and voice clips are fine, but are extremely repetitive. I personally got tired of it after around 3 matches.

Onrush was probably pretty fun online or with friends, but otherwise I wouldn’t recommend playing it beyond short bursts.
