This game looks good even at medium settings.... smooth and enjoyable....

Nostalgic....

Good game to have fun, online communty is friendly, they should have tried a Trucking game too.

It deserve a "HONEST UNPAID NEGATIVE" review. So here it comes.

How can you have 3 successful games in series like AC ACC ACE and STILL FAIL TO SUPPORT STEERING WHEELS properly while your target customers are mostly steering wheel owners and you master steering wheel support in previous titles.

They have released SHAMELELY ONLY 2 TRACKS, what starge of game is this? PRE ALPHA or what?
I am wondering how many years they will take to release more tracks, or if they will ever release more tracks, cause they have ALREADY GRABBED ENOUGH CASH from 1 week of sales.
Their roadmad says nothing about releasing more tracks, even if they do so, no one knows how much they might charge as dlc.

The COST community paid for this RALLY release with 2 tracks is another game from the franchise, ASSETTO CORSA EVO, 60 days Exactly while writing this, since 0.3.3 release of EVO they have done NOTHING. SCAMMED PRE CASH GRAB in EVO with FAKE PROMISES of contents which were never released, ACE Roadmap promised 7 major updates in 2025 out of which only 3 are delivered.

Litreally 2 tracks is like 1 hour of content. Are you kidding me? A good game doesn't means a small game.

so they SCREWED UP EVO and RALLY both being unfinished.

Beta to final release will take 2-3 years i guess.

Unfortunately i couldn't return EVO and i trusted the developers reputation, which they lost for me with the way they did nothing in EVO, i have refunded Rally, Fix your game, add Tracks, then release, i will buy. Right now its not even clear with their roadmap that they will do anything at all, they have not mentioned about releasing more tracks, paid or free. All they are doing is singing songs about the positives and paid youtubers overwhelming reviews.

You might escape the Tarkov once but you cannot escape the mantenance.

Wow, had been avoiding this game from last 7 years and it turns out to be a very fun game. did not expected to be this good. On a online full server, this is the actual fun game.
1st i tried Wreckfest 2, it went too above my 3060 6gb vram laptop to hold it for even medium settings.

Then purcahsed Wreckfest and at max settings 1080p nearing 55-60% gpu capped at 66fps, it runs so good and stutterfree that it feels more enjoyable, fun and engaging.

Wreckcreation i have refunded but i think devs are foxing that game, maybe will buy later on next sale when they fix it.

ALERT - DO NOT BUY, ONLINE DON'T WORK because there are NO PLAYERS PLAYING ONLINE. This is a SOLO GAME at max. Go SKID on a ROW.

No words on "OPTIMIZATION" on PC. They are assuming everyone have THREADRIPPER and 5090 ULTRA TI PRO MAX so it will stutter minimal.
Unreal 4 is not that HARD to optimize.

Handling still is TRASH, year 2000 games have similar handling model.

Now i know 40 Dollar SCAM where there will be no WHEEL SUPPORT, what open world is this.

Please QUIT development, you have no creativity and skills, even your INTRO is a REPLICA of ROCKSTAR GAMES.

Now, It have 10 year old SANDBOX PHYSICS. Car will full crash even on touching some object, even when you just start accelerating from zero, and barely have 10-20kmph speed, it will touch a road railing and full crash. Please THQNordic inject the Sandbox physics from Wreckfest 1-2 because they are so much better.

The game itself is very boring, plain, looks like it will die soon without much contents. I would still recommend Forza Horizon 4 over this to anyone anytime unless you want to be part of just Nostalgia. I have Burnout Paradise Remastered and it looks great and feels good.

Good luck to developers.
Bad luck to people who purchased it at full price. This game should be max 10 dollars to boost player base. If there are no people playing this game, the community will die, there will be no custom tracks and races, the whole concept of community content will fail with over pricing. The Creating part in Wreckreation will SHATTER.

Its upto THQ to decide if they want to sell less than 500 copies at high price and kill the game or sell 5000 copies at 10 dollars and let the community build the game.

Thanks

What a poorly optimized game. And it comes from very experienced Nacon and KT Racing teams which are veterans. If you want to design games only for 2000+ Dollar GPUs then good luck.
The driving feel is like very old sim games, which were not even actual sims, reminds me of some very old handling memories.
Refunded, yucks.

Steering wheel support is not very good, customization option is very bad. Have to figure out the inputs by ourselves as half of inputs cannot be customized.

Force feedback strength is like 500% by default and there is no option to change it in-game.

To fix the FBB i lowered it in the Manufacturer software and boom it works well, i have set my Thrustmaster's control panel max force feedback to 20% and 15-30% is recommended from my experience. It will depend upon wheel's max force strength. I prefer to use soft steering in arcade racing games for instant quick turns.

Note - There is option to fast travel anywhere on map with the key (X on Xbox controller), mark the event, set route, then use left thumbstick Left/Right and you will see the Marker will change to "Teleport" and vice versa.

It makes the game easier to play.

I recommend mid settings between drift and grip for most races. Maxed grip dont help in turning and slight drift at tuns helps car turn faster. I also toggeled "Initiate Drift" with brakes, so i set slight drift with braking, it helps in turning car easily.

For Graphics tweaks and handling tweaks, i recommend using UNITE mod with Frosty Mod Manager.
Discord for them - https://discord.gg/4p2tPgTC

I personally don't use handling tweak, i like the in-game handling.

For some reason, this game still feels better than Unbound. The last good title is HEAT, its one of the best ones i would recommend.
