Chris:<\/strong> Teardown is a game about knocking holes in stuff. Walls. Ceilings. Bits of pier. And while you can knock some holes in stuff with a hammer, often you’re going to need something bigger: a forklift, or a JCB, or a yacht.<\/p>\n

It’s magical, actually: a voxely world that’s just ready to crumble if you find the right way to approach things. You play as a thief of sorts, and each mission drops you into a sandbox with a simple sort of objective – get this, destroy that. You have as long as you want to scope things out and plan how you’re going to tackle things, and then you’re off.<\/p>\n

The magic may be in how things come down – the way a wall collapses as you ease a dumptruck through it, or even the way a window splinters into tinkling pieces after a blow from your hammer – but what keeps me playing is a totally unexpected rigour to the whole thing. <\/p>\n
