This led to the one glitch when my car was so damaged that the driver avatar warped to still appear there. During the game, you may hit the vehicles into competitors (or sometimes solid walls) you experience physical damage. Visually even the weather such as sunlight casting shadows adds to the gaming experience. Even features in the background like the spectators look and feel realistic. From tyre marks on the tarmac to barriers, the effect of you and the other competitors is palpable. The different tracks and courses are all well designed and interactive too. My review of Wreckfest was based on the PS5 version and so the graphics and resolution are pre-set but I was pretty happy with how the game looks and sounds. Additional XP or currency is given for doing so or as part of optional goals while racing. You can knock the competition out of the way or even ruin their car altogether and in fact, are rewarded for it. Being the fastest or most skilled driver doesn’t guarantee victory, however. In fact, the vehicle options & upgrades almost become necessary as you progress in the game. The array of upgrades for your car to help in different challenges or simply to suit your gameplay style made playing more satisfying. I enjoyed the variety that Wreckfest offers in the races and demolition derby selection but single-player and multiplayer. Not to mention the sounds of burning rubber as you power through to victory. With the features of the PS5 controller, you feel the vibrations as you speed across the terrain. Aiming to finish first or be the last man standing of course is the goal but with different ways to do so. Different tracks & terrain meant different tactics which kept the game feeling fresh as well as really fun! Going up against many opponents can seem hectic but getting behind the wheel is realistic while still feeling like a video game.

The settings ranging from racing on the smooth tarmac to destruction derby on countryside fields. From there you have your choice of game style and location. You play Wreckfest as a faceless helmeted driver as you choose to take part in career mode, customer game mode or multiplayer. The name really didn’t do this place justice Gameplay Whether you want to have a clean race or bring chaos to the track we want to hear about all of it. We would love to hear from you about what you are looking forward to or what you think so far yourself. I started Wreckfest as someone who plays few racing games but continued as it was really fun. Wreckfestis available now on X-Box & Playstation as well as Windows.

As a result, the following few years allowed them to reach their goals and release the full game on PC and then on consoles. Bugbear struck gold upon releasing the game in early access after an unsuccessful Kickstarter.

Taking this experience, Bugbear has made a game I can best describe as if Gran Turismo and Burnout had a baby and this was the result. In fact, I learned that the genre is becoming somewhat of a speciality of theirs, which initially grabbed my attention about Wreckfest. Bugbear are no strangers to racing and demolition derby games, previously making the Flatout Series. There are always questions to be asked when video games feature extreme levels of violence, but as long as it’s only happening to cars we think everyone can agree that the more extreme the better.At least I didn’t lose to the car with flames painted on the sideįrom Finnish developer Bugbear Entertainment comes Wreckfest, a racing and vehicular combat game published by THQ Nordic. So it’s great to see them pull through it all with a game that, while clearly part of a long line of similar releases, feels particularly fresh and unique today. It’s taken a long time for Bugbear to get here, having started work on Wreckfest in 2012 and suffered a failed Kickstarter and years in the early access wilderness. The presentation is a bit bare bones and there are a lot of rough edges, including some very long load times, but the biggest technical issue is the uneven frame rate which is clearly trying to hit a consistent 60fps but never manages it even on an Xbox One X. There are also some relatively wacky track options, including a loop-the-loop, but for most of the time the game straddles the gap between arcade silliness and serious simulation with surprising grace.
