Our review

Teardown is a unique and exhilarating sandbox experience that truly shines with its destructive capabilities. The voxel-based physics engine allows for unparalleled freedom in how you approach objectives, whether it's planning intricate heists or simply causing glorious mayhem.

The visuals, while not photorealistic, have a distinct charm that complements the game's core mechanics. Some minor frustrations with random destruction elements and the campaign's secondary role can surface, but they are easily overshadowed by the sheer joy of tearing down anything and everything in your path.
