7.5/10

With slick and satisfying gameplay wrapped in a visually stunning package, AllStars has an almost limitless potential that will only go unrealised if a few irritating roadblocks stay unmoved.

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

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.

By all means, claim this game and enjoy it while you can if you have a PlayStation 5. But don’t expect it to stay in your weekly rotation for very long. It’s a nice enough intro to the console, but it’s fleeting.

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.With the Twisted Metal franchise stowed in Sony's truck for so long, it's nice to see a vehicular combat [...]

You better have to choose if it’s worth spending your spare cash, because it might not be the game for you and it might be for others.

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

5/10

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.

My first take on Destruction AllStars was simply: it’s okay. I then spent the next few days trying to decide if that’s all it was. I then changed my mind: it’s forgettable, but okay as a free game on PS+. Truthfully it comes across like a game that just completed an already polished round of development and the content team and mechanics team is going to come in now to do additional passes. But it’s already out and supposedly feature complete.

5/10

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 possible that Destruction AllStars will improve as the developers address fan feedback and add more meaningful content to the game. The foundation is there for Destruction AllStars to eventually be great, with reliable performance, beautiful graphics, and fun core gameplay, but there's a long way to go if it ever wants to reach that point.

“Destruction AllStars features satisfying crashes amid a 50 car pileup of bizarre design choices.”
