![]() There is just something really enjoyable about racing around corners and using other cars as a barrier to make it easier to make tight turns. It probably won’t be for everyone but I like the full-contact racing more than your typical racing game. The fact that Wreckfest is a full-contact racing game actually has a pretty big impact on the game. While Wreckfest has a lot in common with your typical racing game, it also feels different from your typical racing game. I began this review by talking about how while I like driving games a lot of them feel like they are just more of the same. You are also encouraged to spin out other racers and bump them into walls and other obstacles. Going around corners you can run into other cars using them as barriers to make it easier to get around corners. ![]() As all of the racers are using older more run down cars contact between the cars is an integral part of the races. ![]() Bumping into the other racers in Wreckfest is not only allowed but encouraged. While you can hit other cars in other racing games, it is usually not encouraged as it is usually to your own detriment as it will slow you down or spin you out. Where Wreckfest differs from your typical racing game is that it is a “full-contact” racing game. Like every racing game the goal in most races is to place first in the race.

We at Geeky Hobbies would like to thank Bugbear and THQ Nordic for the review copy of Wreckfest used for this review. Other than receiving a free copy of the game to review, we at Geeky Hobbies received no other compensation for this review. Wreckfest is a fun reckless racing game full of destruction that should delight fans of these type of racing games. After being in development since 2014 by Bugbear (the developers behind the FlatOut series), Wreckfest has finally made its way to consoles as it was released on PlayStation 4 and Xbox one yesterday. ![]() I bring this up because the reason I was initially intrigued by the game I am looking at today Wreckfest is because it reminded me of those racers that focused more on reckless driving and destruction. When I was a kid I remember playing the original Destruction Derby on the original PlayStation and I was a huge fan of the Burnout series. I have always been a fan of cart racers and have also liked racing games built around driving recklessly/destructively. This is one of the reasons that I have always been more of a fan of nontraditional racing games. I have always found traditional racing games to be kind of boring as well. How much can a racing game really differentiate itself outside of the cars and tracks as the gameplay can’t change all that much. I like racing games but a lot of them feel like more of the same. The racing game genre is one of the video game genres that I have always had mixed feeling about. ![]()
