That’s not to say Wreckfest‘s gameplay is totally out-dated and uninspired, though. 2006’s MotorStorm featured more action-packed races, and the game’s crash physics don’t even compare to 2008’s Burnout Paradise. Minus the novelty game modes and vehicles, it’s a bog-standard affair that’s virtually indistinguishable from countless racing games that came before it. But its heavy focus on racing doesn’t deliver much in the way of vehicular carnage. Yes, demolition derby is a big part of the game. Wreckfest is all about automotive destruction. And while there are glimmers of something really enjoyable in Wreckfest on PS5, it’s an experience that’s decidedly middle-of-the-road. Even the demolition and destruction elements have been done better elsewhere. It feels distinctly PS3-era, too (regardless of the upgrade), and plays like every other racing game ever. Despite this, Wreckfest didn’t hold my attention for long even though it does try hard to mix things up. With this next-gen remaster, the big question is whether Wreckfest is worth playing on PS5 or not? Sure, it has its fun moments and some of them really are nail-biting. PlayStation Plus users have actually been given it a month ahead of its official PS5 release date – 1st June 2021. But the good folks at Bugbear have treated us to a Wreckfest PS5 upgrade (which is nice of them), so I thought a Wreckfest PS5 review was in order. From what I can gather, it received a fairly average reception back then and there hasn’t been a whole lot of talk about it since. This was followed by a console release just over a year later for PS4 and Xbox One. Bugbear Entertainment’s racing/demolition derby mash-up first debuted in June 2018 on PC. I’d never heard of Wreckfestbefore it arrived on PlayStation Plus earlier this month for PS5.
