    There is so much fun in Wreckfest. A racing "deathmatch" which originated on the top demolition technology is full of crashes, tension, but also humor and DIY work. [Issue#287]

    A deceptively realistic racing game that doesn't care if you want to ignore the details and just smash every car on the track.

    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 is a solid arcade racer based on powerslides, muscle cars and spectacular battles, that delivers an immediate, enjoyable and content-rich experience.

    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. It offers hours of discoveries and online racing.

    Wreckfest is a great racing game that knows how to find the balance between Destruction Derby-like matches and more traditional races. It lacks some more modes and better performance, but it’s an enjoyable game overall.

    Wreckfest lacks coherent vision. It feels as if Bugbear Interactive, during all these long years of development hell, still haven’t figured out what game exactly they were trying to create.

It is still in early access phase like other reviews have noted, but it is still a multiplayer racing game that is lots of fun. Nothing like getting out and banging some cars around. Some of the current faults the game has is the aggressive AI, and sometimes poor control from the players input. But other than that it is fun. For how slow it's development fun, there can be times when you don't want to play because you just want the next update fix to come out. But the developers are constantly working to make it better with each update! Expand

    The need for.. crashing
    Wreckfest is a demolition racing game with a massive amount of content… sort of… there sa large variety of vehicles from riding lawn mowers.. to tractors.. to couches… its ridiculous… when it comes to game modes however, wreckfest falls a bit flat
    For starters.. wreckfest is a bunch of dumb fun.. you can compete in challenges online, play solo or multiplayer… it doesn’t matter what type of racing fan you are, wreckfest has something for you.. sadly no local multiplayer though… which is a huge deal when it comes to racing games, especially one of dumb fun such as this.. I primarily played career mode, where youll be completing a variety of challenges to earn points to unclock the next cup, each one progressively getting more challenging with faster and more aggressive cars… what makes wreckfust so unique is its pure demolition gameplay.. from demolition derbys to racing, you have to watch you don’t absolutely destroy your car… the rate at which you take damage is adjustable so I personally found the right level for me for it to not be so annoying, but rather a thrill trying to wreck other racers.. and again there is a variety when it comes to the challenges in the form of the vehicles you use… sadly though wreckfest’s charm fades only after a couple of hours… the tracks and game modes just weren’t there to keep my attention… the tracks weren’t much fun or unique, and crashing into other racers in the demolition derby just gets stale after a while.. though wreckfest did managae to hit me qith some thrilling challenges anre races randomly throughout the career… I just wish these moments were more consistent and more varied.. don’t get me wrong.. iwas glued to this game until suddenly I wasn’t.. so there is fun to be had here…
    Wreckfest as a series has tons of potential.
    I would love to see possibly a more arcady route in the future, especially for the racing… we have enough realistic boring race tracks out there…
    I give Wreckfest
    a 7/10
