    Wreckfest on the Nintendo Switch is a fantastic technical achievement. It’s an absolute delight of a game that doesn’t take itself too seriously, yet still offers enough depth and longevity for avid racing fans.

    Wreckfest is an intense, fun, action-packed game that brings together arcade style racing and vehicle smashing, and it works great on the Nintendo Switch. With plenty of options and game modes to choose from, Wreckfest is a varied and complete experience and one which should be on the radar of any fan of car-smashing action.

    Wreckfest is one of the best Switch ports ever with great gameplay and visuals and a lot of content available, both for single player and online races. Just a few performance issues and adaptation to portable mode tarnishes a great racing game.

    If you’re looking for the ultimate Wreckfest experience on your big screen, you’ll likely want to look at other versions of the game over this one. But if you’re looking for a version you can take with you, this Switch port of Wreckfest is more than respectable enough to suit the job. For those completely new to the game, you’ll find this to be an excellent choice if you’re looking for a somewhat more destructive racing experience than the norm.

    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.

    Singleplayer part of the game is fine, graphics are ugly though. Multiplayer is pretty empty all the time, also multiplayer networkSingleplayer part of the game is fine, graphics are ugly though. Multiplayer is pretty empty all the time, also multiplayer network performance is pretty bad for me, it lags a lot, other games work great for me. So I would recommend to buy it on discount Full Review »

The difficulty may be off-putting to some gamers, but being any easier would ruin this intense experience."
