It's a fact of human existence that destruction is a greater joy than creation - ask any child at the beach what the best part of making a sandcastle is. In games like Minecraft and Terraria, the most visceral thrill is visiting a friend's base and setting fire to everything, blowing it up, or flooding it with water when they aren't looking. Rust is really about finding clever ways to break into and destroy the bases of your rivals while preventing them doing the same to you. Teardown takes that blissful experience of witnessing the destructive consequences of your actions unfold like a symphony and makes the whole game about it, and it's wonderful. It's one of those rare games where you'll want to grab your girlfriend or housemate and say: "watch this!". I've felt such childish joy while playing Teardown, and so far I've only completed the campaign (which has a nicely-paced curve of challenging scenarios and unlocked equipment to defeat them) with maybe 70% of the optional objectives. I've barely touched the sandbox mode and I opened the immense list of mods available on the workshop for the first time just before writing this review. There's so, so much to do and it's cheaper than even one session with a professional therapist. The catharsis you experience could well make you a better person. If, like me, you often find yourself at work or the supermarket wishing you had a sledgehammer, firearm and/or explosive device, save yourself the legal trouble and get the relief you need here.
There's a whole lot to admire about Teardown - but it's only a tentative thumbs up from me. I love the wealth of possibilities and exploration avenues that are present in all missions. It feels like there's never just one set way of doing things. The controls are very strong the collision detection on everything seems amazingly accurate. But. It's VERY difficult from very early on, and I'm particularly looking at the time limit tasks here. The difficulty curve is a hill so steep that I would have an asthma attack even thinking about climbing it. Also - I expected a lot more tearing down! The destruction side of the gameplay seems incidental to having to steal cars, boats and documents. If I wanted to do all of that, I'd play San Andreas. As a complete aside, too, I got really bad motion sickness playing it, which I've never had with any other game.
I love and hate this game. I think teardown is a game with huge potential. The Voxel/physics pretty cool and the game looks really good. The main Campaign was really fun too. I even tried modding a bit which it also has a good amount of support for which i like. As one might see by the fact that i do have 130 hours at this game, I really like it. Tho i gotta admit, its fucking dead. First I found the idea of dlcs intresting and decided to buy the bundle for 20 €, partially as i wanted to support the devs, yet after playing the first 2 dlcs of which the second one is already hugely out of schedule, i want to fucking kill myself. The first DLC was honestly pretty underwhelming, only containing about 5 hours of actually to me kinda really boring gameplay, making me question, why ive spent 20 fucking € at this, the second dlc, aka folkrace actually started off strong for me, but after the first two hours of gameplay, you actually start to hate the game, as it starts throwing levels at you, that can only be described as brutally painfully hard and unfun. During the process of playing this DLC, i have uninstalled the game twice and am now done with it for good (I only played a third of the DLC). Some of the levels are such a pain in the ass, its actually unbelivable. It is not even about skill at this point. The janky as hell car physics will suddenly make you flip upside down for no reason, the annoying ass ai will throw you out of the entire race every time and the slightest misinput can just outright let you lose the entire race (it doesnt fucking help btw that sometimes the resoawn mechanics glitch out and WONT FUCKING LET YOU RESPAAAAWNNNN). Im incredibly pissed and see the entire fucking game as dead. Fuck you saber interactive for needing to make money out of this perfectly fine indie title by adding dlc spam to it
I am going to get a lot of hate for giving this a thumbs down. There is a lot this game does well and it has a ton of potential. My major issue with it is that once they introduce the time mechanic, every level just turns into a smash and grab. I would have much preferred more dynamic heists with puzzle solving that goes beyond "How can i set this up to grab as much as possible as fast as possible." With the tools and game mechanics, more dynamic, non-time attack based heists would have been very doable and a blast.
Does this get interesting? The game seems like a great concept, but all the campaign missions so far boil down to basically the same thing: Locate all the items you have to steal/destroy. Some of the items (or all) will have alarms tethered to them. If you move those items, a countdown will start till you get caught by security. Arrange the various vehicles on the map to allow for quick movement between all the tethered items, knocking down any inconvenient walls or gates. Start your run, beat the timer to your exit point. Also all the maps seem empty, there are no NPCs at least not so far. It becomes tedious around the fifth or sixth mission for me, and there doesn't seem to be any sign that the devs have any better gameplay ideas than just "make harder by adding more timed objectives", or any other mechanics to deploy that take advantage of the desctructible nature of the environment. Really disappointing so far.
it's a great game until saber acquired tuxedo labs, game sucks. who want's dlc's? no one. theyre charging the pricetag of a full triple A game for like a dlc campaign, the only reason people play this game now is for the sandbox and mods, not the story or campaign. if you like it, get it. it's a great game at its core. but saber just ruined it
The time limits suck! If you enjoy to play a games at your own pace as some sort of relaxation this game is not for you. In each and every mission (except the first 2 or 3) there is a time limit that forces you to optimize your approach. So there is a lot of trial and error involved and you will struggle with the environment quite alot. There are options to doulble the time limit but you might find it still pretty stressfull. So my recommandation for gamers that like to relax is to look out for another game instead.
