“It's fine as a wrecking-racer type of game. But, you're better off buying the first one (at this stage) for a few reasons: - Track variety is very minimal, there's not a lot of creativity going into track design. -…”
“The physics/crashing is amazing and the car customization is great. A lot of negative reviews say that there isn't enough content but that's just because it's in early access. But even still, it has a lot of good…”
“There's no better racing game than Wreckfest. Pure fun.”
11 of the 103 reviews raise this.
“TLDR at bottom To summarize, I think this game is good but still needs to have major features added/fixed. And I am very aware the game at the moment is early access, but I am posting a review now. I will also compare…”
“Still has alot of potential but love this game. bought this on day one of release love the direction they are going”
“With WF1 I played right through the game, thoroughly enjoyed it with very few qualms. This on the other hand is good, but things are always buggin me. one, is the 'rubber band' racing. Cars are doing really predictable…”

“Game Review: Current Status – 19/04/2026 The Good (But Not Good Enough): Graphics are solid I'd give them a respectable 7/10. They look pretty enough to make you go "ooh" for the first few laps. Physics feel decent too…”
“What a freakin' blast! I'm a diehard lover of the original Wreckfest title and after a few updates, this is really shaping up to be a worthy sequel! Even knowing it's very early access, I was worried when I couldn't…”
“It's Wreckfest with better graphics. Buy it if you want that. Content as of now is not an overwhelming lot but plenty enough to try everything and have some fun. Quite a fine selection of tracks and cars already, hoping…”

“I would CAUTIOSLY recommend this game in its current state. It is Early Access, and there's no cover-up or language to suggest otherwise. If you like WF1, this is a no-brainer. I do think the developers are really…”
“realistic force feedback and fun game play”
“A sweet deomition derby Game. Just kihe WF 1, only on steroids, Graphics, audio, game play smooth and beautiful HIGHLY RECOMEND”

“I like this game, but its better if you have friends because the content currently is lacking solo for the price point if your going to play it solo.”
“i dont really know why people dont like this game at its early stages, but it is really fun (multiplayer) and the cockpit view is immaculate, i love it even though i dont play often”

“From what little time i had playing WRECK FEST 2 I did enjoy. What I did not enjoy was the 2 crashes in that little amount of time. (Crashes, not wrecks. There was plenty of wrecks) At this point I cannot recommend this…”
“I have tried to love this early access game since I love the first wreckfest. It worked OK on launch day, and I try it every few months to see if its better. but this is a buggy mess and every update just makes it run…”
“The amount of game crashes due to corrupt .bmap files is insane. I can't even hop into an online lobby without getting a fatal error due to "can not Read File". I can reinstall and verify game files all day long.…”

“Not ready yet. $50 AUD is a lot of money for a game. I’d say wait for a sale or for the full release before purchasing, or just stick with the first game. I played a lot of Wreckfest 1 and enjoyed it a lot. It felt like…”
“FLATOUT IS WAY BETTER!”

“I know this is early access but its been that way for over a year and I havent seen a lot of improvement. I am playing on a sim rig and keep going back to Wreckfest 1. The colors pop much more in OG Wreckfest. Graphics…”
“Wreckfest 2 is an example of how to not follow up a good racing game. It is the absolute same as the first but worse. Stick with the first one, don't waste your time waiting for them to fix this mess... Also why wait…”

“This game is fire. The graphics look very nice(everyone will agree), driving feels so good & smooth and the car dmg is one of the best part of this game. Multiplayer is pure chaos which makes it so much fun and unique. Most importantly the optimization is GOATed (If your PC…”

— a player, Steam review · 203 hrs played“03/2026 - I currently cannot recommend the game, but there is potential. Over a year in early access and still many bugs and very little content.
