10 Awesome Multiplayer Video Games Nobody Played

10. Onrush

Codemasters' innovative car combat game Onrush came and went in a flash in the summer of 2018, no matter its intriguing hook and the pedigree of its revered publisher.

Onrush largely ditched typical multiplayer racing for an online experience focused on co-operative, objective-based play, pitting two teams of vehicles against each other as they attempt to outrun and destroy their rivals, yet without a conventional chequered flag finish in sight.

Between its sharp visuals and well thought-out, easy-to-pick-up gameplay, Onrush had all the potential in the world to become the next viral racing sensation, but sadly the player-base fell off a cliff within a few months of its release and never recovered.

Though you can still find scatterings of players online, for all intents and purposes the game is effectively dead, with poor sales resulting in lay-offs at Codemasters including the game's director, Paul Rustchynsky, and updates therefore becoming increasingly sparse.

Considering how creatively the game innovated the racing genre, it's a damn shame that more people didn't give Onrush a try. However, the sensible inclusion of bots will ensure it remains playable even when the servers inevitably get shut down. Phew.
