The Challenge Series is the closest you’ll find to a dedicated single-player experience, which fleshes out the characters with cut-scenes and specific missions.

Bizarrely there’s no split-screen multiplayer, even in offline matches, which largely makes Arcade a redundant second Practice mode. Outside of online multiplayer, there’s little to dive into as well.

The team games in Carnado and Stockpile, where it’s about banking damage points in hotspots around the map, face the fundamental issue of reducing the amount of chaos and carnage around you. These solo modes are the standouts of the package. Gridfall elevates the tension by only giving you one life (although you can earn respawns through damage points) with a small, degrading space to drive around, with the last person standing declared the winner. Mayhem is the standard essence of Destruction AllStars, where players rack up points by causing as much damage as possible. There’s four modes available at the outset divided between solo and 8v8 team games. The main problem at launch however, is how bare bones the package is. There’s plenty to like about Destruction AllStars, especially when the car combat captures the same satisfying weight of Burnout’s destruction.

These range from shooting fires from wheels, covering your vehicle in spikes, or my personal favourite Hana, who has a samurai blade to split opponents in two. While they’re not quite Overwatch standard, they possess enough distinctive traits to keep them memorable - mostly through their hero vehicles which each have specific power-ups.

The heroes too possess far more personality than their Fortnite-like designs would suggest. The latter is difficult to pull off, especially in online matches where latency becomes an issue, but hopefully developer Lucid Games can iron this out in planned future updates. There's wall-running, timed power-ups which enable faster movement and double jumps, along with the ability to take over enemy cars by jumping onto the hood and completing a button-prompt mini-game. While being on-foot sounds significantly less fun than shunting enemies behind the wheel, it’s only marginally so thanks to the flexibility on offer.

Once you’ve wrapped your head around the mechanics, the transitions between car destruction and ejecting yourself into a new opportunity is where Destruction AllStars shines.

Originally scheduled as a PS5 launch title, the game has found a far more suitable release as a freebie for PS Plus subscribers (at least until 5th April), hoping to emulate the player base push which catapulted Rocket League and Fall Guys to zeitgeist success. Destruction AllStars then, is a welcome and refreshing prospect in 2021.
