Destruction AllStars

"Destruction AllStars has the foundations of a decently entertaining demolition derby, but that&s;s about it. The game is short on content, doesn&s;t feature much depth or serves as a showcase for the PS5, and its only saving grace is that …"

"Destruction AllStars is undoubtedly fun and has a very original concept, but its lack of content represents the biggest flaw of the combat racing developed by Lucid Games."

"Destruction AllStars may not be a killer app that sells you on a PS5, but anyone who owns a PS5 will be happy to add it to their library. It is definitely one of the best perks of owning a …"

"In an attempt to deliver a fun car combat game, Destruction AllStars only show a glimpse of what could be done. Shallow in depth and quite limited in content, the game has nothing more to offer but a few hours …"

"Destruction AllStars is loaded with style, flair, and a great core concept, but what you see is what you get. While that&s;s not a bad thing at all, there are very few surprises and no sense of depth lurking beneath …"

"Destruction AllStars certainly has its charm. It exudes personality, thanks to a varied cast of characters that - despite having zero story - seem to have something about them that makes you want to learn more about them, such as …"

"Out of the gate, Destruction AllStars is shallow and struggles to give players a compelling reason to stick with it for the long-term. But like other live service games, it&s;s possible that Destruction AllStars will improve as the developers address …"

"This new PS5 exclusive offers some amusing ideas while taking advantage of the superior hardware, but it&s;s too shallow in content and uses some greedy strategies. Future updates could change the situation, though."

"Destruction AllStars is both new and familiar, but it&s;s a refreshing collection of cars, modes, and madcap driving that shows great promise for the future. A mental destruction derby with some admittedly annoying quirks, there&s;s plenty of charm under the …"

"Destruction AllStars is pretty mundane."

"Sony&s;s latest first-party title is fantastic fun, but needs balancing and more content."

"Destruction AllStars has a sturdy engine, but it’s overworked in almost every respect. The needless on-foot component and character abilities clutter an otherwise light but fun pick-up-and-play game with satisfying wrecks. Toss in some overeager DualSense support, and the result …"

"Destruction AllStars offers innovative multiplayer action without interruptions, but monetization stands in the way of the game itself."

"Destruction AllStars&s; frantic blend of bumper-car and on-foot action offers plenty of short-term fun, but the thrills are less thrilling after a few hours"

"The car combat genre has long been out of fashion and still has a way to go if it wants to take us back to its glory days of the 1990s. Destruction AllStars is a mostly satisfying modernisation that has …"

"Destruction AllStars is a clunky mess of a multiplayer experience, committing a few cardinal sins when it comes to its online experience and offering uninteresting and dull gameplay most of the time. Each character feels unique and their abilities and …"

"By all means, claim this game and enjoy it while you can if you have a PlayStation 5. But don&s;t expect it to stay in your weekly rotation for very long. It&s;s a nice enough intro to the console, but …"

"Out of the 4 modes available at launch, 2 of them feel redundant and unbalanced. The single-player content is slim and if you want even a crumb more, you’ll have to pay, which leaves Destruction Allstars feeling like a clumsy, …"

"Destruction AllStars looks great and is fun to play, but balance issues negatively affect gameplay, and overbearing microtransactions mar the experience."

"Destruction AllStars is like an unreliable hot rod sold by a used car salesman, but perhaps genre fans won&s;t mind so much with the new discount."

"Destruction AllStars has solid driving, but its demolition derby-style car combat drags as much as it thrills."

"Destruction AllStars starts strong with some neat ideas, but then falls behind in-game purchases and being repetitive, and eventually fails to impress."

"Destruction AllStars made me feel like a kid playing with Hot Wheels, it&s;s just a shame how often it falls off the tracks."

"Destruction AllStars can be an enjoyable Twisted Metal-like experience for those nostalgic for that, but once you feel the frustration of the crashing mechanic and realize there isn&s;t much to work towards, you&s;ll probably turn around and use that nitrous …"

"Desctruction AllStars had a chance to deliver some creative car combat and it mostly set it sights on being mediocre and forgettable. Granted it’s free for PS+ users so it’s not a large barrier to get into. But down the …"

"I wanted to love Destruction AllStars. I still do. There’s just not enough there to make it worth my while right now. A couple of times, I ran into a weird technical issue where I would jump into a brand-new …"

"Destruction AllStars is a game with good ideas that, sadly, lacks enough content to warrant a constant return to this title"

"Destruction AllStars delivers delightful carnage and non-stop mayhem, but issues with progression, monetization, and some poorly designed modes hold it back. Hopefully, Lucid Games and Sony will continue to build on this excellent foundation, because Destruction AllStars has the potential …"

"Destruction AllStars can provide fun bursts of frantic car combat action, but never adds up to much more than that."

"Destruction AllStars is, above all, fun and enjoyable mayhem, supported by a very polished technical aspect and an undeniably cool stylistical approach. The choice to launch it as part of the Plus Collection will certainly give it a huge boost …"

"Destruction AllStars can be a brilliantly frantic multiplayer game, with fun characters and cars, great DualSense feedback, and entertaining modes. However, it can ring a little hollow at times when the action dips. Lacklustre customisation options and mictrotransaction-locked content doesn&s;t …"

"As far as gameshow/sporting event-style games go, Destruction AllStars is maybe some of the most fun I’ve had in a while. I love the pageantry when a match starts and my character does their intro before kicking things off. The …"

"Scratch the surface and you’ll find a very shallow car combat game that simply doesn’t have what it needs to pull you back in over and over again. Destruction AllStars is unlikely to be the next PlayStation Plus success story."

"Destruction AllStars is a game that should be offered to all PS5 buyers. If it justifies its place in a basic bundle, it certainly does not have the qualities for a purchase. Too repetitive to be fun in the long …"

"In desperate need of depth and content, Destruction AllStars is at least a fun whiz around the corner."

"Arcade-style racing game which looks spectacular and fun, but actually is shallow and often boring. We are very curious about how the developers are going to update it. If at all."
