Summary

Teardown Ultimate Edition features decent voxel graphics and offers a variety of graphics settings including gamma correction, field of view slider, depth of field, barrel distortion, motion blur, mode (performance/fidelity), and 120 HZ. However, some users might experience nausea due to the camera being very wishy-washy and loose. The performance is a huge step up, with fast loading times.

Teardown Ultimate Edition offers four game modes – Campaign, sandbox, Challenges, and expansions. It plays as a destruction-based puzzle game with infinite replay value. The game includes both DLCs – Art Vandals, and Time Campers, which have campaign and sandbox modes. There are over forty-odd story missions and over 15 types of tools. The game also adds variety with Heist-style missions and even has enemy robots.

However, mod browsing is basic with no filters and only a handful of choices at the moment.  Teardown Ultimate Edition offers a first-person view with tutorial signs as you play. However, the tutorial hints are not that specific or common, and the first job in the campaign could have been more hand-holding. The music isn’t that great, but you can quit out of DLC and go back to the main menu.

Teardown Ultimate Edition has a download size of 3.46GB and offers a cross-buy feature where you get the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 versions of the game. There’s no way to turn off headbobbing, and the walls fall down way too quickly with the vehicles. The tutorial hints are not that specific or common, and it can sometimes feel like you don’t know what to do.

Overall, Teardown Ultimate Edition’s voxel-style graphics lend themselves well to the fully destructible environment, the garage of vehicles and tools dictate what and how you go about your onslaught. I love just booting it up and getting on with it with not a lot of fuss. You buy this game to either smash crap up or because you love out-of-the-box thinking of solutions.

Gaming since the Atari 2600, I enjoy the weirdness in games counting Densha De Go and RC De Go as my favourite titles of all time. I prefer gaming of old where buying games from a shop was a thing, Being social in person was a thing. Join me as I attempt to adapt to this new digital age!
