Each level has a number of events, each one earning you points depending on your podium/overall finish, as well as in-event challenges to finish. Starting off at the Amateur level of your career progression, you’re tasked with hitting a certain point limit before you can unlock the next stage. It’s mad, it’s hilarious, and it’s a perfect setup to what Wreckfest holds in store for you. Honestly, it’s as daft as it sounds, with a good shunt blasting someone Team Rocket-style off of their little engine that couldn’t if you hit them with enough speed. Sensibly de-bladed, but just as lethal as you punt other racers off of theirs in the first derby of the career. Well, Wreckfest pays homage to that in its particular way.Įxcept they’re not go karts, they’re ride-on lawnmowers. You’ve probably heard about how most Formula 1 drivers started their careers on the go kart circuits and the like. Whilst the majority of Wreckfest is either racing or demolition derbies, it does a sterling job of throwing something random in the mix to keep your attention piqued. For the most part, and largely in part for this review, the majority of the racing is in American territories. It adds a bit of culture to game, instead of just being an inherently rootin’, tootin’ experience, which is nice. But, that’s not to say the game is solely based in America, as there are events in Scandinavian regions too. Hell, even the first proper car you’re driving in the campaign has the American flag livery on it. Right from the off, it’s not hard to see the heavy American influence on Wreckfest (I don’t mean Americans are heavy, I mean the American influence is heavy on the game), as this kind of sport is mostly popular in the US of A. But with every yin comes a yang, in this case being some unnecessary rubber banding (more on that later), and loading times that would put pre-patch Bloodborne to shame.īut let’s not stall this ride any longer, as I drive full throttle into the beautiful mayhem of Wreckfest… So far, so good, right? Well, for the most part, yes. It’s a welcome change if you’re getting a bit bored with the routine racers, as Wreckfest allows to smash up all kinds of cars: from Buicks to Beetles, wagons to three wheelers, even going as wacky as combine harvesters and motorised sofas. Steering clear of sim racing like the Dirt Rally or Gran Turismo series’, Wreckfest is a ho down of a racer/arena brawler that sees you mangling many an automobile. Any game that lets you cause mayhem in a combine harvester or souped up sofa is going to be a winner, but is that marred by heinous loading times and rubber banding? The Finger Guns review Īs you may have guessed from the not-so-subtle subtitle, Wreckfest is a new entry in the oft sidelined genre of demolition racer.
