Which one will be a better choice to buy? The Crew 2 is pretty expensive but I'm sure more people will be playing multiplayer than Wreckfest 2. One the other hand, I really wanted a derby game like Wreckfest but I'm worried about the play growth.

Like a lot of niche games, Wreckfest has a small but tightly knit community. And while the player numbers are low, they're very consistent and the game will still be active years from now. You won't ever struggle to find a full server, but there won't ever be many full servers to choose from.

Wreckfest's secret ace is it's RoMu physics engine, which is a full sim-racing engine converted to run arcade physics. The handling and driving dynamics are remarkable. Although it's very much an arcade racer, you get all the feel and detail of a sim. It's a great combination - you can hurl a car around like you would in Burnout, while getting all the nuance and 'feel' of Project CARS or DiRT. And it's for that reason that I recommend it - the brilliant physics make it a joy to drive. Even against the homicidal AI.

What about Wreckfest vs. Project CARS? They look like very similar games to me (I'm an amateur btw), I don't know which one would be a better buy.

They're not really comparable in any way. Project CARS is a simulator with a realistic & hardcore depiction of real motorsport, Wreckfest is kinda the opposite of that. It's a silly and often comedic game about Folk Racing, with no realism whatsoever.

Believe it or not you will feel part of a family of a small community with Wreckfest. Wreckfest alone is a good game certainly, and awesome with destruction. More are being added each update. You'll typically run into the same people if you play Multiplayer regularly.

The Cew 2 I'm also debating to get. I did enjoy the first one as everybody hated it. I played the Closed and Open Beta's, I also enjoy it as well. What's holding me back about it is if its even worth full price with enough content.

I haven't played any of these games, because I have potato instead of PC. But I know that The Crew 2 has really big map and it's open world

I bought Wreckfest and refunded it. Love the gameplay but their player base is small. Most of the servers are far Europe or America. And it looked poorly optimized and wasn't smooth at all. I'lll wait till next June next year and see if this game's worth buying or anything. Currently, its not worth 25 dollars.
And I didn't buy The Crew 2 after reading the reviews and watching gameplay. It looked so damn boring.

I heavily advise NOT to get The Crew 2. I've played the closed alpha, closed beta and open beta and the game was never even close to be enjoyable as The Crew 1.

The Crew 2 is excessively light on content and there's zero reason to explore which is a major selling point in open world racing games.

It's a mile wide but an inch deep. It has an enormous open world map with absolutely nothing in it, and the racing and handling are so bad that you'll never want to drive around and explore it. It's a tech demo, not a game.

Maybe you're right
