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.

Not many games are pure dumb fun, but this one sure is. The less you focus on winning and the more you focus on causing chaos, the more fun it becomes.

Wreckfest is an unapologetic salute to the rural spectacle that is vehicular carnage. It doesn’t have that gloss or class that other chaotic racing titles like Burnout or Motorstorm have, it’s lowbrow entertainment reserved for tiny towns with decaying racetracks built a half century ago. There are so many things from this game that remind me of going to the racetrack with my dad and the seeing special exhibition Figure 8 and Enduro races. It’s hard for me to not be clouded by nostalgia, but I think the game itself has enough variety of vehicles and events to hold a casual racing fan’s attention across the entire campaign.
