![]() They’re flavorful enough to not be generic and inconsequential, but put them in a room full of characters from Bleeding Edge, LawBreakers, and Rogue Company and you’d be hard pressed to pick them out of the crowd without the aid of nametags. ![]() But there aren’t really distinctive personalities, just a lot of arguably stereotypical representations: imagine if someone clicked 16 times on a random Overwatch character creator and repainted them using a Fortnite art style and you wouldn’t be far off. There’s the catchily named Tw!NkleR10t with her cutesy kitty car Mr Sparkles, and Fuego who, you guessed it, loves fire. Hey Now, You’re An AllStarBeing on foot gives you a close-up look at AllStars’ diverse cast of 16 playable characters who, while they may not have the depth of similar hero-based games, do have their own abilities and summonable hero cars, and are charming enough in their own way to bring a welcome dose of personality to the proceedings. ![]() It’s just one example of where AllStars seems a bit confused as to what it wants to be. With all of that available you just expect to have more opportunities to use your powers in fun ways, but you can’t really. It makes sense that a human (albeit one with semi-superhuman capabilities) can’t stand toe-to-toe with a hulking piece of 100mph metal, but AllStars sets the wrong expectation by giving you the ability to barge opponents with melee attacks and summon glowing Wolverine-like blades from your hands if you’re Bluefang that sure look like they should do more than scratch the paint. ““Of course you shouldn’t be as powerful as a car when on foot,” I hear you shouting, and you’re not wrong. It’s just how utterly powerless you feel in comparison to when you’re in a car that’s the problem. The light parkour platforming itself isn’t unenjoyable, thanks in part to wall-running that’s smooth and nimble. At its worst, however, you’re left running and jumping around in search of a new vehicle while all of the fun is had around you far faster than you can keep up with. At its best, this means ejecting yourself from a car before it explodes, flying into the air, and then landing straight into another vehicle, which feels sensational – reminiscent of launching yourself out of the Batmobile in Batman: Arkham Knight. This is what separates AllStars from most car combat games: the ability to bail out and move around the arena on foot. And that doesn’t only apply to when you’re behind the wheel, but when you’re outside of your car, too. The trick in Destruction AllStars is to always be on the move, both so you have the momentum to get higher-scoring hits and so you aren’t a sitting duck for others trying to do the same to you. I feel I will revisit this game in a year or so as with many improvements, it could easily become an esport with the proper changes.Play Shamelessly arcadey in its handling, the driving itself is slick and responsive, with different sizes of vehicle feeling appropriately different to maneuver and a tap of the handbrake letting you effortlessly drift around corners to evade chasing cars. I think this game needed more feedback from testers before being released because it just seems repetitive, generic, and overall monotonous. I think if they were to adopt more of a structured Roller Derby style track and you drove along that, it would be a little more interesting. There have been times I am driving around for an entire minute and not hitting anyone. I feel that the courses give too much freedom of movement in such a large area. But based on the payment structure of the cosmetics, it seems somewhat lazy on Sony's end to have this as a PS Plus game for Feb 21 since this game is most likely going to be a free to play game in the near future. At the time of writing this, there doesn't seem to be enough vehicle or character customizations. ![]() The characters all seem super generic, like that are purposefully trying to make each character unique like a United colors of Bennington ad and have them all be quirky, but it comes off mostly as cheesy instead. It isn't a game I could personally binge play, but I can load it up and play a round or two and then put it down. It isn't a game I could personally binge play, but I While this game is fun for the first few matches you play online, it quickly grows old.
