Wreckfest Reviews
Smashing up cars is fun, and Wreckfest is an old-school racer that delivers on that thrill
In the end, Wreckfest is a game that you will tend to make your own fun in. The career mode can get a little old after a while, but the multiplayer makes it even more fun throwing other players into the already impressively crazy mix. Bugbear knows what their players want out of a game from them, and they offer it up in a really fun, chaotic package that any arcade racer can enjoy.
Wreckfest offers the eRacer something not available anywhere else: the ability to race on the computer in cars and at tracks that are accessible to the common man. Don't let the 70's era rust buckets fool you, though - the driving and damage physics are quite good, the damage models are entertaining, and the racing is close and brutal. It's astonishingly fun!
Wreckfest was already a game that had an incredible degree of fun, but thanks to its new new generation patch, the new graphic effects and the inclusion of the 60 fps that improves its handling in a substantial way, it is very worthwhile to be able to enjoy its crazy driving situations. It is possible that the bugbear title has once again found a gap that years ago they filled themselves with the various installments of Flatout, which broke into the driving genre with great success, focusing entirely on what matters most: Fun.

Wreckfest is a crazy racing game with impressive destruction system and engaging gameplay. Despite few flaws, it's a must-have for every fan of Destruction Derby.

Enjoyably casual gameplay which draws you in an makes you want to do better each time you play.
Wreckfest isn’t the prettiest racing game around but it is certainly the most destructive. The cars and damage models are very realistic and I really never got tired of trying to smash apart all of my opponents. The long load times are a bit of a bummer and I wish the game had local multiplayer support but I wouldn’t let either of those faults steer you away from smashing your way to victory in this game.
So, gear up, tune up your car, rev your engines and try to make it to the finish line with a number of wheels that is higher than 1!
Realistic racing with a brilliant learning curve and destruction as far as the eye can see. No other racing game on a console that's dropped this year so far has what's been put together here.
Wreckfest offers a mighty impressive next-gen upgrade, with almost all facets of the PlayStation 5 taken advantage of to make the game better. It looks slicker, it plays smoother, it’s packed to the brim with extra detail, whilst the faster load times make it easier to dive right into the action. It also just so happens to be a whole lot of fun to play… what more could you want from a chaotic and destruction-filled racer?
It's a fun game both by yourself, with friends, and especially with strangers on the Internet. However, Wreckfest is also pricey, and any buyer is going to have to balance their desire to get in on the action with the knowledge that they can probably find much of the same somewhere else.
The one put together by the creators of FlatOut is a valid and well-packaged product. The driving features of the game, as might have been expected, obviously remain the destructibility and damage system, but within Wreckfest there is, fortunately, also something more: a complete game and more than worthy of being counted with merit in the small array of titles successfully released from early access.

Wreckfest plays the role of those bad boys of school in racing genre. The difference is that this bad boy has done all his homework and studies very well and despite all its weak points that are mostly the result of shortage in funding, managed to deliver an interesting game that is different than stereotypes of its genre. If you are tired of strict rules of other games in this genre, and every collision or get out from the track costs you a lot then Wreckfest is the game that you need. Not only there is no other rule besides becoming first, the game also encourages you to enjoy this helter-skelter festival and wreck each other in tracks for fun.

Wreckfest is just a good deal of fun. At the end of the year here at Chalgyr's Game Room, we have a variety of awards and one we have had in the past is our favorite Guilty Pleasure. Right now, Wreckfest is easily leading the way for that one in my book.
Wreckfest is the spiritual successor of FlatOut and Destruction Derby and offers a fun, hectic, solid experience. Now on consoles, too.

If you love racing and smashing things up this is the game for you. Prepare to get wrecked.
Wreckfest is out of its early access, but there is still work to do, especially to give it a real "soul" in solo mode. It is far above all the competition in rendering physical damage on cars. On PC, he avails of the work of a very active community. Thanks to this, it offers hours of discoveries and online racing. Bugbear will probably work hard to deliver much stuff on the PC version and then an interesting console release by the end of the year.

Wreckfest finally brings its demolition derbies and violent vehicular races to consoles.
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.
Wreckfest is a very solid game that is been published after five years of early access. The impressive physics, the worderful damage system and a lot of competitions make Wreckfest a must have for this summer.
