Hands On They Made Destruction AllStars on PS5 Good
Like, for real
When it released last year, Destruction AllStars ultimately disappointed. Lucid Games’ chaotic crash-‘em-up was not a dud – in fact, between its diverse cast of well-animated characters and compelling use of the DualSense controller, there was much to like – but it just didn’t feel quite right. It was hard to put into words,...

Wreckognition
Destruction AllStars, the long-forgotten PlayStation 5 crash-‘em-up, is completely rebooting its scoring system in an attempt to encourage more skilful gameplay.

Developer reinvents the wheel
Destruction AllStars’ minuscule – but dedicated – community has been eager to know just what Lucid Games is playing at with the vehicular combat title, after it quietly extended Season One and then failed to provide any meaningful updates. The answer is that it’s been reimagining the gameplay a little bit, as it...
Tw!nkleR10t and Ultimo Barricado downsized
It's a shame, but it's impossible to deny that Destruction AllStars has been a somewhat failed experiment from Sony. The multiplayer vehicular action game has some good ideas, but ultimately doesn't seem to have caught on, even despite being available on PlayStation Plus for two months. That said, it looks...

The show must go on
Destruction AllStars released on PlayStation Plus at the start of this month, and it's fair to say it's not made a huge dent.
