While the developers did release a fix for this issue shortly after release, it only made matters worse by excluding all players from VoIP by default, resulting in very little communication or banger between teammates.Įditor’s Comment: Ironically, many players who disliked VoIP had already quit before the patch was released, meaning those players who remained enjoyed or at least tolerated “open mic night” and were unhappy to see it go. With stunning visuals and some of the best collision and damage physics ever released, Destruction AllStars is a cut above anything the vehicle combat genre has ever seen before unfortunately, this was also to be its downfall, as trying to maintain a live service title on a platform that is experiencing massive supply issues almost two years after launch is problematic and has resulted in the vast majority of Playstation users being unable to play Destruction AllStars.Įditor’s Comment: It’s about time we started getting 9th generation singleplayer only titles, but it’s still too early in the game for platform-exclusive 9th generation titles, with both PlayStation and Xbox struggling to meet demand as we head into holiday season 2022.Īt launch Destruction AllStars enabled the PS5 controller microphone by default, resulting in an audio barrage of profanity, trolling chip munching and button pressing. While we expect major studios to include more non-white characters, it’s nice to see various body types, including plus-sized characters, considering many gamers share a similar body type.Īesthetics aside, each playable character has a unique breaker (active ability) and custom vehicle, which in turn also has a unique breaker, often taking the form of an enhanced defensive counter or attack ability, such as Lupita’s Wildfire Breaker, which leaves a trail of highly destructive green fire behind her vehicle, damaging any pursuers and serving as both an offensive and defensive ability, depending on the situation.Įditor’s Comment: Destruction AllStars has a great cast of characters with rather interesting stories unfortunately, the developers have chosen to lock most of the story content behind a string of microtransactions, ensuring that most players never experience them in light of how poorly Destruction AllStars is performing and how few people are willing to spend money on a title with an uncertain future.ĭestruction AllStars is a fantastic 9th-generation title, and despite their continued missteps, the developers can be proud of what they have created. Diverse Characters.ĭestruction AllStars has an impressive roster of aesthetically and mechanically diverse characters, representing a wide swathe of cultures, genders and body types. Destruction AllStars is a fantastic 9th-generation title held back by platform exclusivity and a declining player base.
