Here I am getting excited about yet another version of a game that has its roots embedded in late 2013, almost eight years ago, which is more than a little bit baffling. That’s when a failed Kickstarter campaign pushed developer Bugbear Entertainment into offering a ‘Sneak Peek’ demo for the then-titled ‘Next Car Game’ to…Continue reading “Wreckfest has a new lease of life on PS5”»

Wreckfest is the game that keeps on giving. Today, the new remastered PS5 version became available to PlayStation Plus subscribers and now there’s a fresh update to boot. It includes a new Tournament, a new free track for everyone and a new paid DLC pack. The Off-Road Car Park is available now for $3.99/£3.29 and…Continue reading “Wreckfest’s Super Truck Showdown Tournament update is here”»

It’s 2013 and Bugbear Games has failed in their fundraising efforts to deliver “Next Car Game”. With only $81,000 raised it is hard to imagine that the game would reach the end of production, let alone become a fan favourite with one of the biggest and most consistent fanbases in the racing game genre. Fast-forward…Continue reading “Why is Wreckfest so addictive?”»

Name me the game with the most diverse vehicle lineup. I don’t mean number of vehicles, more the breadth of differentiation. Okay, I hear you Forza fans, you make a good point. But, Wreckfest should still be up there for consideration. Busses, lawn-movers, rally cars, muscle cars and even a sofa. It’s got the lot….Continue reading “WATCH: Wreckfest – The best cars”»
