5 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe gameplay experience is hindered by repetitive multiplayer modes and poorly designed mechanics, with many players finding the out-of-car elements detracting from the core car combat. The novelty of the gameplay diminishes quickly, and issues such as unrewarding progression and locked single-player content further detract from overall enjoyment.
“Out-of-car mechanics detract from the core car combat experience.”
“Multiplayer modes all feel very similar, so the gameplay gets repetitive across all modes.”
“Gameplay's novelty wears off quite quickly; it could use more focused mechanics, and half the modes simply aren't that fun.”

65%Destruction AllStars Review – Solid Foundation, Shaky Walls
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 to be a special game with a little bit of work.
