Stockpile is, and I swear I’ve played through the tutorial for it three times already, some sort of car-centric version of control, where players have to hold certain points on the map without being run over in the process.Ĭarnando on the other hand, is my absolute favourite mode. Mayhem is your regular every driver for themselves deathmatch, while Gridfall is a battle royale between vehicles on a stage whose segments are being removed as the clock keeps on ticking. Its real meat and potatoes so far is its quartet of game modes, with each variant being playable in online or arcade mode against bots. There’s a mechanically satisfying setup to Destruction AllStars that’s easy to jump into, mixing a gentle learning curve with snappy racing mechanics that feels great to master. Using it in a more tactical situation, and you’ll be able to narrowly avoid trying to awkwardly explain to your insurance why you’re spending the next few weeks waiting for an Uber ride. Use it at the right time, and you’ll wreck the competition while reveling in faint echoes of Blur and Burnout. Car combat is also simple: A forward ramming attack and a side-shunt make up your arsenal, with each ability having a short cooldown between use. When you’re actually sitting behind the wheel, Destruction AllStars really kicks into top gear.Įach vehicle of course has its own quirks, ranging from agile hatchbacks that can squeeze between dueling SUVs, heavy cruisers that can total the opposition in a head-on collision, and sporty hypercars that can outrun anything on four wheels or two legs. You’d think that being without a vehicle in an arena that is brimming with rush-hour drivers would be an instant death sentence, but Destruction AllStars actually makes the gamble pay off with agile movement, platforming and a chance to either steal an opponents car or wreck it in a quick mini-game. Each of the characters in the game’s incredibly colourful cast of car combatants come with a mix of two unique skills: An on-foot power that can be anything from a speed boost to maximum kawaai power, and the ability to call in their signature vehicle which in turn has a special trick up its own exhaust pipe. Where Destruction AllStars sets itself apart, is in how it draws a line between its actual core driving experience and its mad Le Mans-style dash towards grabbing another vehicle when you write yours off. It’s entire setup is dead easy to sum up as well: Grab a car, hit the track, and drive your way to victory with bash ‘em and crash ‘em skill. Just like that game of adorable beans exploring a game show battle royale, Destruction AllStars is also a pseudo-freebie, provided that your PS Plus subscription is up to date and you grab it within the next two months. While you won’t be slapping that game on to show off your shiny technology that you barely beat a scalper to the market for, Destruction AllStars does at least put the pedal to the metal when it comes to being a fun diversion, similar to last year’s smash-hit Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout. Granted, Mrvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Astro’s Playroom, and Demon’s Souls are terrific showcase experiences for what the console can do, but the PS5 library needs more blockbusters in its collection if it wants to continue being a dominant force.ĭestruction AllStars…is not one of those games, although it definitely gets points for trying. We’re barely a few months into the life-cycle of the PlayStation 5, and while the console is finding its footing slowly but surely, it’s still lacking in one all-important department: Exclusive games.
