Slam on the brakes – or don’t! When you get behind the Wreckfest wheel, your opponents will be doing everything they can to run you off the road. Luckily, you don’t have to race by the rules either. With different competition formats, track surfaces and vehicles to test your driving (or crashing) skills, Wreckfest brings destruction and revenge to the automotive party.

What we love: In these high-adrenaline demolition derbies, forcing others off the circuit is all part of the fun. Strive to cross the finish line first, but remember that the bumper-to-bumper racing is literal. The game is as much about navigating stricken vehicles through piles of debris as triumphantly powering past your rivals.

Quick tip: Try to work out which obstacles you can drive through and which ones you can’t. Track space is at a premium, so capitalise on any advantage you can find to become the last one standing.
