    Since I hot this on the PC I have been waiting for it on the switch.
    I only have a switch lite.
    DO NOT GET THIS FOR THE SWITCH LITE. Seeing the track ahead for this game is essential or you are crashing off course and may as well quit the race there and then. On the switch lite you may as well be playing with blinkers gaffer taped over both eyes. If you do see ahead when cresting a rise

    Seeing the track ahead for this game is essential or you are crashing off course and may as well quit the race there and then. On the switch lite you may as well be playing with blinkers gaffer taped over both eyes. If you do see ahead when cresting a rise etc the distance/time is so short and the car handling so ropey compared to the 'on tracks AI' you will go from 1st to 16th after a tiny excursion followed by a mullering from the AI behind you once you rejoin the track.

    Graphically it’s what I expected, it’s ugly and low resolution, a lot of pop, but I’m OK with it ,it’s to be expected, it’s definitely playable especially portable. What I’m not OK with is multiplayer performance, it’s very very bad, I never had any issues with online games, I have very good Internet speed.

    the problem is the cars clip into each other and there’s a lot of issues with

    the problem is the cars clip into each other and there’s a lot of issues with control because of lag, you basically can’t control your car - it steers in directions you’re not steering. It kills all enjoyment, so I would say it’s only a single player game

    Singleplayer 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

    The Switch doesn’t have many racers that offer the same kind of thrills and excitement as Wreckfest at its best.

    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.
