Critic Reviews for Wreckreation
The high-octane action, the blistering speeds, and the open-world freedom all come together to offer a format that I adore. However, I can't in good conscience attribute much of this to this game, as it's about as blatant a copy I have ever seen, lifting Burnout Paradise's mechanics, UI, race types, and progression almost note for note
Wreckreation takes a very specific direction. For what it's worth, it's still a fun time. Regardless, it still feels more like a reimagining of Need for Speed Most Wanted with elements of Burnout and Hot Wheels rather than a full-on open-world Burnout game. The game includes its fair share of issues, such as pacing, rules around crashing, and general oddities when interacting with objects in the world. Having said that, there's definitely fun to be had here; it perhaps just needs some extra attention that a ten-person development team may not have the resources to apply. $40 is a bit of a hard sell for what's on display here unless you are craving another Burnout Paradise or Need for Speed: Most Wanted clone.
This is a complete experience that not only has Burnout DNA, but goes further and adds other elements: a brutal map, cars, events, collectibles, crashes, and the ability to unleash your imagination with new creations. It's not perfect, but it delivers what it offers, and spending enjoyable hours will be a delight for veterans and a great experience for beginners.

Wreckreation heralds the return of Burnout-style vehicular mayhem in an over-the-top sandbox for you and your friends to get lost in.
There's a lot to love about Wreckreation but its issues, both major and minor, hold it back from being a brilliant sandbox that has you spending hours of unadulterated fun on its streets. Yet, there's something about the experience that is sure to keep you coming back for more.
Cut corners, bugs, janky mechanics, and limited content shows that a project of Wreckreation's size may have been too ambitious for Three Fields Entertainment's small team.
Wreckreation might have its issues, but at the same time, it's so much fun that you won't care.
So, what would a game combining Forza Horizon, Burnout and Trackmania look like? Exactly like Wreckreation. It's not revolutionary, but it's a well-executed and fun mix with a strong sense of speed.
