Wreckreation has lofty ambitions, and I’d say it achieves most of them. Driving is fast and furious, and the gameplay loop kept me hooked as I was constantly discovering some new and cool thing while tooling around in my MixWorld. Countless late nights were spent beating a tight time in a race or hunting new cars to collect. While there are more minor issues under the hood than I’d like, those who crave a decidedly old-school open-world racer should take this one for a spin.

Wreckreation is a hybrid of Burnout and Trackmania, but it falls well short of the qualities of either. The driving model is initially punishing in an unengaging way, and once it finally begins to make sense, it becomes clear that the game itself is largely empty and expects players to create their own fun. And that simply is not fun. The dream of a true Burnout successor therefore remains unfulfilled even 17 years after the last entry, as Wreckreation fails to deliver it.

Think of Wreckreation as a spiritual sequel to Burnout Paradise, only not as polished and with the addition of creation elements. It has some issues, but it's been much improved since launch thanks to numerous patches. If you want to race at insane speeds and take down opponents, it's well worth a try.

i thought this game would be somewhat like a destruction derby type game but it's more like a rip off of burnout and need for speed type game but way worse. i've only played for like ten minutes so far and will update it it gets better but so far not impressed.*update*... now a 0. you have to hold l2 and r2 on the remote to start an event and it's so bugged that it never starts so this is a failure from the start type of game and i've only been playing for like 20 minutes

A dull rip-off of the Forza Trackmania expansion. Pointless and dull. Avoid.

With a style heavily influenced by the Burnout franchise, Wreckreation is a great racing game. Its races are always exciting thanks to the high sense of speed and the mechanics that encourage aggressive driving to go even faster. The game's map is vast and contains various types of environments, all with multiple challenges and other things to do. The remixing systems contribute to an engaging and varied experience, especially with the construction of loops and ramps. It's a shame that the technical production suffers from some issues, particularly regarding the draw distance of the scenery. Fortunately, this does not compromise the overall experience, which is a great choice for lovers of high speed and intense competitions.

Wreckreation not only gives you a thrilling open-world arcade racer with a varied world to explore along with an expansive multiplayer mode that allows you to build challenges for your friends. Though the final experience has a few too many rough edges in parts, it's still worth it for arcade racing fiends craving something to get their motors running.

I'm having a lot of fun playing this game. If you like races that are fast, tight and furious and provide an instant arcade gratification then you can't go wrong here. Road Rage events are riotous and have a just one more go addictiveness. It's great to drift around corners taking out opponents with a slam to the side. Crashes can be spectacular and the car handling feels responsive with different cars having their own driving characteristics. The world is big with plenty of exploration and features to play with in single player, making your own tracks and playing online against friends adds a whole other side to the game. The photo mode is a good extra and it's pretty easy to create some great looking shots.

Wreckreation takes a very specific direction. For what it’s worth, it’s still a fun time. Regardless, it still feels more like a reimagining of Need for Speed Most Wanted with elements of Burnout and Hot Wheels rather than a full-on open-world Burnout game. The game includes its fair share of issues, such as pacing, rules around crashing, and general oddities when interacting with objects in the world. Having said that, there's definitely fun to be had here; it perhaps just needs some extra attention that a ten-person development team may not have the resources to apply. $40 is a bit of a hard sell for what's on display here unless you are craving another Burnout Paradise or Need for Speed: Most Wanted clone.

I can't deny that I liked my time spent playing Wreckreation. The high-octane action, the blistering speeds, and the open-world freedom all come together to offer a format that I adore. However, I can't in good conscience attribute much of this to this game, as it's about as blatant a copy I have ever seen, lifting Burnout Paradise's mechanics, UI, race types, and progression almost note for note. Yet, in many ways, the game fails to capture that same lightning in a bottle, with shoddy recreations of many aspects of its inspiration. The only unique thing this game has to offer lies within the creation and online functionality, but due to the lackluster and uninspired single-player core this game offers, I don't think these admittedly interesting features will be enough to get many potential fans behind the wheel.

Wreckreation isn't quite the arcade racer many fans have been waiting for. Its super-fast racing action and emphasis on taking down rival drivers recalls fond memories of Burnout, and the game's focal point — the ability to build your own challenges and courses wherever you please — has bags of potential. Unfortunately, iffy physics and handling and a lifeless open world let the side down, but there's still fun to be had in this open world racer, especially if you can gather some pals for some online shenanigans.

Wreckreation attempts to become the successor to Burnout Paradise; however, it lacks the polish to do so. Even worse, some basic aspects of any racing game are so lacking in care that it's impossible to recommend it in its current state. It feels like a game that launched in Early Access and, had they given it adequate development time, could have been something truly special.

Wreckreation tries to bring Burnout back to life, but it lacks the things that made Burnout fun in the first place.

The most recent update has fixed a lot of issues. The road rage events are now fun and very achievable! Originally I was only going to give this a 5, after feeling let down. But the update has restored my faith in the project, and the team. They really have listened to feedback, and made a quick turn around. Quite impressed at how they didn't delay to sort the problems, and make the game play as you would expect. Fixing the AI spawns, the pace and the catch up. Along with bringing back traffic checking. It has brought the game to life! (Before this, it felt hugely broken and massively frustrating!! - You couldn't drive 200 yards, without crashing out or something happening to halt your progress. Resulting in time disappearing and failing the event). It now has the flow and the intensity the game needs, and deserves! It could be argued, the game should not have been released in such a poor state in the first place. But I still appreciate the effort. This game has huge potential. I just hope reputation hasn't already been destroyed, causing the game fail commercially. Risking the project hitting a brick wall, and the game never being the finished product we all want!
