Critic Reviews for Wreckreation
Overflowing with ambition but ultimately plain and with no style to call its own, Wreckreation feels like a supermarket brand homage to a series of better arcade racers.
There's a huge amount of fun to be had tearing up the countryside in Wreckreation's open-world aggressive racer.
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
To their credit, the developer is engaged in bug fixes and has published a roadmap of upcoming patches. However, these fixes may come too late to keep players engaged. For Burnout fans, wait for the next game, or until they fix the bugs in this one.
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.
