Wreckfest – A Beautiful Mess of Metal and Mayhem

This isn’t just a racing game.
This is therapy with horsepower.
It’s Fast & Furious meets WWE, but everyone’s drunk and no one’s wearing seatbelts.

You wanna race clean? Good luck.
You wanna t-bone a school bus in a lawnmower? Absolutely.
You wanna fly 30 feet in the air because Jeff from Iowa didn’t brake into Turn 1? Hell yeah you do.

🛠️ The damage model is so good I’m emotionally attached to my crumpled hood.
🚗 The physics make every crash feel like slow-mo art.
🎵 The soundtrack screams “I live in a garage and I’m proud.”
🎮 The AI? Aggressive. Dirty. Beautiful. I watched one guy go for the win and another driver literally yeeted him into a tree.

Online lobbies? Absolute warzones.
One moment you're in 1st, the next you're being turned into a human Beyblade by a couch on wheels.

Wreckfest taught me:

It's okay to lose, as long as you take three people with you

Friendship ends at Turn 2

“Brake” is just a suggestion

And sometimes… true love is a combine harvester with flames on the side

10/10. Would fly off a cliff into a pile of tires again.
If you don’t own Wreckfest, your Steam library is missing a soul.

It's hard to recommend this game. The underlying crash mechanics are fun in certain cases. However, some of the race modes are downright annoying to play, and the ones that aren't are very repetitive in career mode. It's not a game that I would replay, but it gave me some fun moments nevertheless.

Nothing teaches you how to take corners perfectly like 23 idiots rushing straight at your ass at full speed.
