Critic Reviews for Wreckfest
The scope is ultimately limited, but what a roaring spectacle of broken car bits Wreckfest manages.
The creators of Flatout channel a little of the classic Destruction Derby as this brilliantly destructive racer emerges from Early Access.
Wreckfest is the long-overdue return of serious, high-quality destruction racing. Fierce, frantic fun.
Smashing up cars is fun, and Wreckfest is an old-school racer that delivers on that thrill
Wreckfest is one of the more impressive Switch ports we've seen, taking a game that already had performance issues on more powerful hardware and delivering a relatively stable version with reasonable loading speeds and all its debris-flinging carnage fully intact. Handheld play is a little less visually acceptable, and the Switch tax rears its ugly head again, but just like the rough-and-ready roadsters in the game, we ultimately had a great time behind the wheel.
The Switch doesn't have many racers that offer the same kind of thrills and excitement as Wreckfest at its best.
Arcade racers are seeing a resurgence of late and Wreckfest fits nicely into that sub-genre, bringing banger racing into the limelight and turning it up to eleven. It may not be named Destruction Derby, but the spirit of the old Psygnosis classic is alive and well in Bugbear's latest racer.
