Wreckfest is a racing video game developed by Bugbear Entertainment and published by THQ Nordic. Wreckfest is described as the spiritual successor to the FlatOut series, which was created by Bugbear, and takes further inspiration from the Destruction Derby series and the cult 1989 racer Street Rod. A notable feature of the game engine is the use of soft-body damage modelling, which enables location-based damage that affects the driving dynamics of vehicles in a realistic fashion.

Runs well on modern hardware.

Great game! Fun with friends especially destruction derby.
[b] Multiplayer Could Be Fun, but Singleplayer Is Boring. [/b] The idea of a racing game with realistic car destruction is interesting, but I'm afraid that's about it. The single-player mode has no story at all. It's basically a collection of mostly long, repetitive races, a few repetitive destruction arenas, and fun scenarios. The races have a problem: either you stay in first place throughout the race and miss out on the fun of destroying cars, or you drive alongside the other cars and won't win the race because the AI keeps focusing on you, even at the expense of its own position. The destruction arenas are rather repetitive. The scenarios are the best part of the game, with things like couch races and one large bus against small cars, but sometimes you have to repeat them and figure out a specific way to win. It's nice that you can change the difficulty, destruction level, and car modifications on the fly between races. The tracks are also designed in a way that increases the chances of cars getting destroyed. [i] * This review only covers the single-player mode. [/i] [i] * The sequel is already out, but you can still find people playing this game in multiplayer. [/i]
I love racing games specially which has deep customization and story, this game has none but still i loved it. I was hooked right from the first minute, enjoyed every second. It's my first time playing this type of game, i thought its just demolition type game but surprisingly it has many variety of races. There are also customizations, not much but still i had fun building cars. Looking forward for Wreckfest 2 !!
