    Teardown is a challenging game that requires a mindset to be able to plan and then carry out the strategy needed to solve puzzles...or you can just use the scorched earth tactic and destroy everything in your path. Personally, I found this method to be very satisfying and a whole lot of fun. Plus the TV news afterwards can be fun to watch.

    A groundbreaking voxel-based engine makes demolition more fun than one could imagine. But it’s the amazing amount of mods (maps, tools of destructions, gameplay changes) that turns Teardown into an absolute blast for everyone who enjoys breaking stuff.

    Teardown excels in combining complete destruction and plotting the perfect heist while offering a lot of tools and several different areas.

    Calling it a game may be a bit of a stretch on account of its loose structure, but you can’t argue with the fun.

    Small but perfectly formed, if you get any joy at all out of smashing things to smithereens, there’s hours of fun to be had with Teardown.

    Spend ages planning with explosives and cables only to see it fail again and again — until it doesn’t. Teardown is fantastic fun.

    An endlessly delightful destruction sandbox.

    Teardown is ridiculously fun, featuring a fully destructible voxel environment and the freedom to cause as much chaos as you wish.

    It's telling that, as our getaway car peels away to safety with ten seconds remaining, our first instinct is to try again. [Issue#372, p.110]

    Teardown is easily one of the most creative and fun games I have played in very a long time. It’s a prime example of showcasing what is truly possible through the video game medium, and while the campaigns narrative is easily forgettable, the uniqueness of its gameplay more than make up for it. If you are looking for a game that is just downright entertaining, you could do a lot worse than Teardown.

    Teardown is a demolition fan’s wet dream, a sandbox of beautiful carnage that also happens to be a great puzzle game.

    Teardown is about causing as much carnage as possible, but then funnelling that into something manageable. It’s about streamlining your play in the campaign before becoming completely unhinged in the sandbox modes. It’s about having as much fun as possible in whatever way you want, and it’s a blast.

  1. The only reason I’m not giving Teardown a Bestest Best is because it’s still in Early Access, and I want to wait to see more of what it becomes. At this stage, it is a towering achievement in tearing down towers, and well worth your time. [Early Access review]

    ОН РАЗОРВЁТ ТВОЙ ПК, если вы, конечно, лезите в моды, я вот только их и трогал за 35 часов игры. Да, на эту игру ОЧЕНЬ МНОГО модов. Почему жеОН РАЗОРВЁТ ТВОЙ ПК, если вы, конечно, лезите в моды, я вот только их и трогал за 35 часов игры. Да, на эту игру ОЧЕНЬ МНОГО модов. Почему же они так напрягают пк? ну... а ты хочешь столкнуть две старые советские многоэтажки с помощью грави-пушки? Твой пк этого явно не хочет. Мой пк этого тоже не хотел, но я его заставил. Так что для меня стало нормой после 10 минут с захода в игру видеть фпс меньше 10, а чаще и меньше 5.. ну и того меньше.. ЗАТО ТУТ ЕСТЬ RTX-Ы БЕЗ RTX :D мой пк: 1660s + r5 2600, и эта игра его изнасиловала Full Review »

    A great game to play when your stressed or something, steam workshop mod support absolutely saves this game for me.
