A dynamic racing game developed by the creators of the cult FlatOut series and the last two iterations of the almost equally famous Ridge Racer series – Finnish studio Bugbear Entertainment. The game takes inspiration from the previous works of the studio, focusing on crazy rivalry, unrestrained with fair play rules.
Next Car Game is the next racing game developed by the Bugbear Entertainment studio, known for releasing such titles as: Rally Trophy, FlatOut and Ridge Racer Unbounded. The production features many demanding, but extremely satisfying racing challenges, as well as various ways of modifying your vehicles.
The game draws grand inspirations from the FlatOut series, which makes the title in question an unusual racing production, as time and the place in which you finish the race are not the dominant factors in Next Car Game. There is a constant war waging on the tracks of Bugbear’s newest title, the contestants are relentlessly trying to wreck the cars of their enemies. The game features both the single and the multiplayer mode.
One of the more important aspects of the game is the customization of vehicles; the developers have prepared numerous cosmetics, which will modify the appearance of our machine, as well as various parts which will modify its parameters. Next Car Game also has an advanced destruction system, the damage your vehicle will sustain on the track will have influence both on its looks and the way it drives.
The game has been partially financed by the gamer community, as Bugbear has made it possible to purchase the production long before its release, thus gaining access to its early version, as well as some in-game bonuses.

God is a Geek: 7.5 / 10 by Mick Fraser
The Switch doesn't have many racers that offer the same kind of thrills and excitement as Wreckfest at its best.
COGconnected: 86 / 100 by Mark Steighner
Although it drove under the radar on PS4, Wreckfest deserves the attention of racing fans, especially those with a destructive streak and a love of vehicular mayhem. With its vastly improved framerates and bumped-up resolution, Wreckfest on PS5 is the definitive way to play the game, whether against humans or the game’s more-than-decent AI drivers. Wreckfest might not be the new console generation’s ultimate racing sim, but it has some depth, a unique set of chops, and is a lot of fun.
PlayStation Universe: 9 / 10 by John-Paul Jones
Wreckfest on PlayStation 5 is arguably the best way to play one of the most enjoyable racers of the previous console generation. A delirious mix of arcade racing and smashmouth vehicular carnage, Wreckfest's gorgeous next-generation facelift is enough to ensure that Bugbear's ramshackle racer stands shoulder to shoulder with the best racing games on PlayStation 5.
