Wreckfest
SCORE: 81
I am very thankful Peter paid for the Xbox
Game Pass so we could play Wreckfest at no additional cost to Family
Friendly Gaming. I expected Wreckfest to be horrible on so many fronts.
I was shocked to find a strong racing title with all kinds of parts
falling off the cars after collisions. The effects of the damage are
customizable of course. Wreckfest does not solely focus on the
collisions. The racing action is very stable. I learned I could avoid
collisions and race to first place. How cool is that?
The issues families can have with Wreckfest are violence, and bad
language. The music can be turned completely off. That deals with the
offensive content there. It is an all or nothing proposition though. We
can not select to remove certain songs and leave others. Wreckfest is
18.51 gigs on the Xbox One at the time of this review.
The modes in Wreckfest are Career, Custom Event, Multiplayer, DLC Store,
and Tournament. Some sample race sections are Regional Juniors, National
Amateurs, Challengers, Pro Internationals, World Masters, and more. We
can race all kinds of vehicles in Wreckfest ranging from lawn mowers to
RVs. Many of the cars in Wreckfest are a bit on the older side. I
enjoyed racing in them. We can upgrade our vehicles with better parts as
we level up.
Drifting is important in Wreckfest, especially when racing on dirt. Some
of the tracks in Wreckfest are insane. There was this one with a large
area in the middle and loops making a figure eight plus additional
loops. The carnage in the middle as vehicles went full throttle criss
crossing was insane.
I had fun playing Wreckfest. So did Noah. He is still playing Wreckfest
and enjoying it. There are demolition derbies in Wreckfest. I loved some
of the goals in Wreckfest like get so many points, or get a certain
place. I did not expect much from Wreckfest and it delivered way beyond
my expectations. I have added this game to our physical copy purchase
list.
