10 Awesome 2018 Video Games You Probably Missed (So Far)

7. Onrush

Onrush is without question one of 2018's most pleasant surprises, a "racing" game where the focus is less on actual racing and more on both speed and vehicular destruction.

That's right: none of Onrush's levels have finish lines or conventional racing systems, but instead, teams compete against one another in a series of unconventional game modes where boosting, maintaining control of zones, passing checkpoints and totalling your opponents are the order of the day.

More than anything, Onrush is just flat-out fun: it doesn't take itself remotely seriously, and is terrific for those craving a pick-up-and-play racer with a low-skill entry level. Though it could arguably use a few more modes and maps, the content currently available is ferociously addictive whether you're playing online or against the CPU.

Considering how few truly unique racers there are out there, Onrush demands your attention, and deserves a committed player-base moving forward.
