Similar to driving, the on-foot movement is satisfying thanks to arcade-style movement such as inhumanly high jumps, slick wall running and handy dodges that will get you out of a tight spot when a van is heading your way with bad intent. It feels natural and you’ll get the hang of it within the first few minutes, though getting the timing right for sideswipes will take a bit longer.Īt any time you can hit X and propel yourself out of your car and into the air, giving you full freedom to sprint around the arena. With a flick of the right stick, you can launch yourself forward for a full-frontal smash, or throw your car left or right for a drive-by collision. Combat while in a vehicle is just as intuitive and simple. Driving is arcadey, fast and responsive, allowing you to scream around the arenas at blistering speeds before tapping circle to swing into a drift that would make the Fast and the Furious folks shed a tear. Gameplay is comprised of two main states, in-car driving and on-foot free running, both of which you’ll need to use in every match to be successful. In this game’s universe, Destruction AllStars is a vehicular destruction derby extreme sport with a healthy helping of theatrics, spectacle and free running think pro wrestling fused with NASCAR and parkour and you’re most of the way there. It’s now in the wild and free to all PS5 PlayStation Plus subscribers, so is it a smash with the crowd or does it get T-boned and wrecked straight out of the gate?Īt the heart of any addictive online title is a solid gameplay loop that begs you to ‘get good’ without being punishingly difficult easy to pick up, hard to master. When Destruction AllStars was announced during the PS5 reveal event I was drawn to it instantly, knowing that it had the potential to be one of these post-work winners that I love so much. When it comes to story-driven epics I’m just as much of fan as the next person, but after a long day of work, I can’t seem to go past those pick-up-and-play titles that hook you with satisfying game modes and mechanics that beg you to improve, which is probably why I play so much Rocket League. There’s something to be said about games that prioritise good old fashioned fun.
