The multiplayer and career modes should help keep this game enjoyable over a long period of time, but it might feel repetitive playing the single player races over and over. While not the sharpest or most striking game graphically, Wreckfest looks great and runs smoothly with elements that compliment the gameplay (including good music and sound effects).

As you likely know, the last person whose vehicle can be driven wins the match. And yes, there are straightforward Destruction Derby and Dirt Showdown modes, which is a large and often messy area to smash up rival vehicles before they can do the same to you. You'll also pick up on how damage affects your vehicle's handling, learning the nuances of the dirt and paved tracks, and straddling the balance between making it to the finish line before others (in circuit racing) and causing a tactical collision (or better yet, a multi-car pileup) to give you an edge. It might take a few events around a track in Wreckfest to fully appreciate the attention to detail, here, including the tight and responsive handling of your vehicles (which really do feel different depending on which ride you're in).
WRECKFEST REVIEWS SERIES
This is a step down from the PS5 and Xbox Series XS, but it’s still outstanding given the Switch’s hardware restrictions. If it's an over-the-top destruction derby-style racer you're after, this is refreshingly different, fusing destruction with deep customization, physics, and modes to indulge in. Although the resolution is smaller and there isn’t much anti-aliasing, Wreckfest otherwise works smoothly on the Switch at a consistent 30fps despite the on-screen action.
