Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Reckless Racing 3 at $2.99 against Wreckfest's $10.99. Reckless Racing 3 also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 14.0). Wreckfest's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months) and chart position (#14 vs #44). On rating, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
