The wonderful destructible sandbox is about done

The excellent destructive sandbox heist gameTeardownis winding up to leave early access and launch in full, today announcing a version 1.0 release date of April 21st. Teardown’s a cracking game, about carefully poking holes in destructible environments to prepare for a madcap high-speed heist once an alarm’s triggered. I’m excited for it to be done. For now, check out a new trailer show off some of the newness they’ve added across early access.Teardown 1.0 — The Journey through early accessWatch on YouTubeAn early access update completed Teardown’s campaignback in December, so I’m not sure what to expect from the full launch. The devs haven’t really said. But they havereleased a new updatetoday with additions includinga shooting range and skeet machinefor target practice,new topiary, asummertime sandbox version of Cullington, and new particle effects:Version 1.0 will be spiced up with new particle effects!pic.twitter.com/iHvIzd6U92— Teardown (@teardowngame)April 4, 2022To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settingsPretty particles, those. Now I’m even more keen to make a big stinking mess with my clumsy heisting. I should stress that Teardown’s destruction technology is not only cool, it’s vital to the game. Teardown is one of the few games which has graduated from a neat-looking tech demo showcased in video snippets on Twitter to, like, a really great game which couldn’t work without that fancy tech. Laying the groundwork for your heist is deeply satisfying, especially once you realise quite how creative you can get with the physics simulation, and the resultant frantic escape is thrilling.Our Graham’s early accessTeardown reviewcalled it “a towering achievement in tearing down towers” in November 2020, and soon after I joined him in declaring it one ofour favourite games of 2020.Teardown is availableon Steamfor £18.49/€19.99/$19.99.If you want extra newness right now, do check out the wide range of new player-made maps, tools, and more onTeardown’s Steam Workshop. Fanciness includes aPortal-y portal gun, agrappling hook, aMetal Gear Rising: Revengeance-style katana, aminiature New York City map, aGarry’s Mod-style physics gun, and, uhAC130 gunships. So much more, too.
