It's a fun, but a bit flawed game. Good: - The destruction physics is great. - Driving feels good. - Plenty of nice levels and cars. Bad: - The AI is a cheating griefer. It can get quite frustrating. It's designed more to make your life miserable instead of being fun to play against and there is no way to tweak it. - Buggy. Kept getting a black screen and "ValidateHardwareSettings" when trying to run it. Had to find and delete a settings file to get past it. Don't try to enable "fullscreen" mode, it's broken. - The music is mixed hilariously low, and can't be raised. Someone on the team don't want to you to hear it while racing.
The racing clashes with the demolition. There's no incentive to go on the attack when the game is scored off position. Some of the bonus targets (+XP) require dealing damage but that slows you down too much. The only carnage is at the crossroads and losing several positions after getting randomly T-boned isn't particularly fun. Graphics are alright if you can ignore the pop in. Controls fall apart without the assists. The soundtrack you can't even hear without cranking the engine audio down to 20% and when you do, the heavy rock soon gets repetitive. The crowd is eerily stiff and there's no sense of speed. Only a quarter of players made it past the national amateurs championship and that's where I'm dropping it.
How to enjoy the game. step 1: Join multiplayer. step 2: Pick bus vehicle. step 3: Drive in reverse and run into multiple vehicles, crashing them. step 4: Read all of their chat. like this game played 7hrs after purchased. 10/10
I want to delete this game every day, absolutely every day !!!! There is only one reason for this: - it's the AI of the opponents !!!! It doesn't matter what kind of racing and what difficulty, the scenario is as follows: one car goes so far that it can't be seen at all even over the horizon, and the other 22 don't care about the finish, they only have one goal - TO DESTROY YOU !!!! whoever invented this will have a separate cauldron in hell. And in everything else, this is the best game, seriously.
This game never gets old. Every race is complete chaos, the crashes are satisfying, and the driving feels surprisingly good. If you like arcade racing games, Wreckfest is an easy recommendation.
one of the best racing games available for the PC, if not anywhere. very recommended for fans of simcade racers, not just derby. the destruction effects are obviously celebrated and awesome, but the HANDLING is really, really nice. the cars have weight and bounce, when you come out of a turn too fast there are those moments of "I'd better relax the throttle or I'm spinning out". absolutely some of my favorite handling in any racing game. maybe not REALISTIC, but AUTHENTIC. if that makes sense. it feels right for its world. and then you can smash into each other and watch the ever-loving hell out of the explodinations of pieces and dirt and dust and it's glorious. you can race around on hot-rodded couches - it's a comedy classic as well as great arcade racer. and it's cheap. looks really great, runs really great ... if you like racing games, try this. period. it's not Dirt Rally 2.0 but it feels just as right - it feels relatable. can't explain it better than that. a classic, totally. my second purchase of it.
After Watching almost every video Ed Soundhead made with this game i decided to buy it and holy its so much fun i love this game. I bought it on switch before i bought it on steam and probably have a couple hundred hours on my switch. I bought it on steam too for the mods and multiplayer because im not gonna pay a subscription just to play with other people. My favorite mods are the trackpack 1 and 2, anti gravity, pinball and Nascar mods together is a fun experience. This game is probably the best Nascar game ive ever played and its not even a nascar game. So if you have a Nvidia Graphics and Intel Graphics like me you have to go to Nvidia control panel and make this run with your nvidia graphics card because it is unplayable with Integrated graphics. Runs 90-130 fps on my pc. Best wrecking game and can fullfill your dreams of carnage on nascar tracks with Nascar cars from the 70s 80s 90s 2000s etc. F1 cars and tracks too. Multiplayer is fun too. And if you dont have a good pc but have a nintendo switch i would recomend getting it on the switch.
Глубоко вторичная игра. Совершенно непонятная мне физика управления (имитация гравия?), абсолютно не интересные соревнования, где стартуешь 12ым например и уже со старта начинается куча-мала, а лидер спокойно едет до финиша. Да, повреждения авто - это фишка игры, но машина не сильно-то чувствует эти повреждения. В итоге выглядит как банальный фарс. Трассы не интересны, чемпионаты, магазин запчастей и т.д. То есть вся игра ощущается какой-то второсортной поделкой. Кому-то на безрыбье она может зайти, но при наличии большого количества хороших игр в листе ожидания, не могу рекомендовать. За что могу похвалить - это музыка. Но не звук, он такой же второсортный и неинтересный, как и вся игра в принципе.
I was having a lot of trouble calibrating my brother's Moza wheel to games like Dirt, Forza, Assetto Corsa, and rFactor 2, but Wreckfest was a quick plug-and-play experience that got me straight into the action! I also love that the game is a simcade; I've gotta find more car games in that genre. My family and friends shared the same sentiment when they came over, too. I was enjoying Wreckfest so much that I almost bought the second game, but I stopped myself since I wanted to complete this iteration first and not stack my backlog. Anyways, great game. I plan to build a custom racing sim soon and play this in VR. Not that it's old, but the graphics for this game still hold up. However, I think it's the incredible physics that stand out the most, especially paired with the force feedback (chef's kiss). I hope to someday play with a buddy or two. What a fun game!
