Destruction AllStars Reviews
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 run, it could perhaps become more interesting evolving. But its reputation is unfortunately already known.

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 is like an unreliable hot rod sold by a used car salesman, but perhaps genre fans won't mind so much with the new discount.
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't much to work towards, you'll probably turn around and use that nitrous in the opposite direction.
I usualy don't play multiplayer titles, but from what I was exposed to, Destruction AllStars fulfills its proposal very well and offers lots of fun. However, everything here is momentary, online games are made to keep players loyal to them and if the "magic" ends, the player leaves and moves on to another title. The question is whether the game will have a future, at the moment it has potential, but without new content it can be forgotten.

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 road this is not a game worth a price of admission unless they prove they can do something better. It’ll likely be forgotten in the eventual ocean of other PS5 exclusives that release down the road.
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 in terms of playerbase – certainly more than its 80,99€ launch price would have attracted otherwise – but, as usual, these kinds of games are a matter of endurance. And for how long Destruction AllStars manages to keep its audience engaged remains to be seen.

Destruction AllStars can be memorable but it’s not one of those exclusive launch games that would make an impact. I’m afraid that with the content Destruction AllStars has to offer, it will not be enough for players to stay and play for a long time, the game needs more horsepower to convince PS5 owners to buy it after it’s out of PlayStation Plus. We might see another live-service game going downhill in just a few months especially with the price-tag of $69.99. Until this becomes free-to-play, I don’t see the game living beyond a year with a decent amount of players behind the steering wheel.
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 of silly fun without much appeal.

Destruction AllStars is a rather bland, minimal in content and generally boring take on the demolition derby genre of driving games.
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.

Destruction AllStars is like a well-oiled machine—it looks the part and does the job. However, once the thrills of landing the perfect slam or launching yourself from an imminent K.O. fade away, what is left is a relatively shallow experience that will struggle to keep you playing longer than a dozen hours. That may be fine for those swiping this up during its stint on PS Plus, but for anyone paying their hard-earned cash for this lacklustre experience, well… you’re in for an expensive ride.
The animation of the players' movements and much more that you can witness on your own, clearly show that the development team worked with passion to reveal their talent.

A colourful, dynamic and vibrant environment will lure gamers into playing the expeditiously paced combat title, but without anything substantial to keep them hooked, its existence may dwindle quite fast.
Generally, I enjoy Destruction Allstars. It’s a fun, high-energy, launch window title with a future that simply relies on the attention to content moving forward. There’s a great formula to start with, but if this game is going to become as big I want it to be, the content roadmap needs to be promising. If you have a PlayStation Plus subscription, I’d oblige you to give it a try. You never know, it might just be your thing.
Destruction AllStars has solid driving, but its demolition derby-style car combat drags as much as it thrills.
Destruction AllStars looks great and is fun to play, but balance issues negatively affect gameplay, and overbearing microtransactions mar the experience.
Destruction AllStars showcases the power of the PlayStation 5 and has good gameplay loops but the microtransactions and barebones presentation never elevate the game from good to great.
Destruction AllStars is pretty mundane.
Sony's latest first-party title is fantastic fun, but needs balancing and more content.
