    Got this for PS5 and it runs very good. The graphics are okay, but I've seen better in racing games. The physics I like a lot and made the game very immersive in a way. The platinum was very grindy but still pretty fun to do. I somehow hoped for a story in campaign, but you rarely see that in racing games anyway.

    I've never really played car games, but their driving systems seemed fun and complicated in a good way.

    PS5 utilization is very good though with great haptics and triggers.

    Would recommend for some fun with friends, but not for more than 15 USD.    … Expand

    Technically it's implemented great. But the gameplay isn't interesting. This game is ok for several evenings.

    I really enjoyed this game but at some point it all the same once and again. As a destructuion derby kind of game it's incredible. Not the best in driving simulation game obviously. It could be better in customisation of vehicles, but what I think is the worst of it are the 12 rounds rallies that you have to beat 8 rallies in a raw... You get stuck in that level for 30 or 40 minutes and atI really enjoyed this game but at some point it all the same once and again. As a destructuion derby kind of game it's incredible.

    The driving is incredible, both manual and automatic it is a lot of fun to drive.
    -The Haptics of the Dualsense VERY WELL used.

    -I didn't like the all the graphics. The viewers are 2D models, and the trees don't have good graphics. The rest is good. I guess they did this to save resources but show a lot of spectators.
    -Platinum difficulty is 3/10 and it took me 21 Hours to complete.    … Expand

    Those issues aside, Wreckfest provides a strong offering full of content that will appeal to both casuals and fans alike. The gameplay is innately fun and with the addition of unlockables and a wealth of customisation options, there is plenty to keep you interested if somehow the allure of absolute carnage wasn’t enough.

    Although it drove under the radar on PS4, Wreckfest deserves the attention of racing fans, especially those with a destructive streak and a love of vehicular mayhem. With its vastly improved framerates and bumped-up resolution, Wreckfest on PS5 is the definitive way to play the game, whether against humans or the game’s more-than-decent AI drivers. Wreckfest might not be the new console generation’s ultimate racing sim, but it has some depth, a unique set of chops, and is a lot of fun.

    Wreckfest remains one of the best demolition racing games of the newer generation, made with love, grit and grind. It has a bit of a bland map design and a few tweaks here and there could make the career mode much more interesting, but at the same the time it is one of the most fun racing experiences, especially in multiplayer and with an excellent PS5 upgrade.
