After so many consecutive years of at least a debate in this discussion, it’s wild in 2022 that Rush will limp to the top spot uncontested.

It’s a rehash layout with a polarizing band (who I personally love). But it was lucky to come out in a down calendar year plagued with supply chain issues and poor competition.

According to IPDB, in 2019 we got OKT, BKSoR, Wonka… and then freggin JP and EHOH.

In 2020 we got STH, HW, TMNT, Heist, GnR, and AIQ.

In 2021 we got Godzilla… and now that we have that clear favorite out of the way I may as well mention games like AlienSV, LZ, Mando, and Celts.

Each year above has 1-2 absolute bangers with widespread love and then at least a mediocre supporting cast beneath. Rush would be lucky to sniff second in any of those years.

Quoted from finman2000:

I'm surprised Rush doesn't click with more people. I love the game.

It’s beyond fine for what it is, but it screams filler title. It will be the next Aerosmith. Good, not great… but that’s enough to win for this year.

Quoted from gouveia:

You have absolutely no idea how popular Rush is as a title.

Oh no I do. It’s just up against zero competition in this poll so there’s nothing else great to which we can compare.

But I’m so over “it’s such a great layout”. It’s a X-men with a ramp diverter and the scoop in front of the other pop bumper.

Quoted from TheLaw:

Only played the pro, and usual Borg shit going on. Whats the premium got over it?

Just played the Prem in a tourney. Multiple scoop ejects, the drum clock turns, lifting time machine ramp for no apparent reason, VUK on the shot to left of that for no apparent reason. May be something with the instrument targets too but I never care to shoot them. That’s basically it.
