Teardown - Stunning Physics & Destruction - PS5/Xbox Series X/S - DF Tech Review

Incredibly distinctive and unique, Teardown is a game quite unlike any other... and after years in development on PC, it's finally arrived on consoles. Alex takes a look at the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series versions of the game, explains what sets Teardown apart and how its visuals and physics work, then examines performance. Tweaks are required on Xbox Series X, but overall - Teardown is looking great.

This is the kind of physics-based sandbox game where when you break the framerate, it's kinda part of the appeal - how far can you push the levels of destruction!

[Rothron]

It's very impressive how much they've improved performance since the early access.

I remember when this game was just a proof of concept on Twitter. I was an early supporter on PC and now it has an official console release. Very impressive and I’m very glad this game is getting so much attention and support. One of my favorite games to release this generation

[Secret_Takodachi]

I freaking love this game. Whether its actually playing the story challenges or just achieving a state of zen via wanton destruction in sandbox mode. Teardown is a truly unique & satisfying take of the simple pleasure of simulated destruction ❤

It's a fun game to play around with. Only issue I have with the physics is that things only collapse if you remove support COMPLETELY. A single Voxel can keep supporting a skyscraper. Also, buildings won't collapse under their own weight, but rather just topple over.

This is the kind of game I expected from the current generation. Exploring more the CPU power of the consoles with more realistic simulations instead of spending it all on rendering tech.

I chucked this on to have a Quick Look, suddenly it was 6 hrs later. This game is surprisingly addictive and the destruction satisfying

[nabieladrian]

We need more physic-based game, this is the interactive part everyone forgets about.

I am very impressed with Teardown's performance on the PS5, as it runs noticeably smoother than on my PC (i7-12700K, 2080 Super, 32GB RAM). It's not the frame rate itself, but all the little micro-stutters and lags I experience on the PC during intense scenes are completely gone on the PS5.

The developers have definitely done a great job optimizing these games for consoles! Thanks for the great video Alex :)

These water particles/effects in the game are insane! I like it.

Teardown is incredible, one of my favourite games to come out this decade. Love the level of creativity in some of the heist solves. One of my favourite pieces of tech is attaching rockets to pallets or doors and using them to launch myself between objectives quickly. Heard about it from the video 3 years ago and picked it up right away. Good to see the devs have done it justice and delivered a solid port so more people can experience it.

[Stezell]

It's rare that these cool experimental games make it over to Console. Glad you guys get to try this. I played it a bunch years ago, now I'm tempted to go play it again. I played before they added workshop support so I'm sure that'll be fun to mess with lol

[richardhunter]

Double buffered vsync might have been used because developers were testing with VRR enabled, which is the best setting, but is not the best for testing...

[Zenzuu]

Great to see Alex acknowledging and giving praise to a good console port. It's very refreshing to see.

[GalactusTheDestroyer]

Holy cow I did not expect this game to come to consoles! I've had it for my PC since it launched and loved it. Just downloaded it to my PS5 to see how well it does. Awesome video as always Alex! This game may run better on my PS5 vs my PC. And I've got a decent beefy PC too. Ryzen 7 3800X, 32gb ram, 3060.

The support site for the game mentions that the ability to invert the Y-Axis is coming in a future patch, for now though, I use the Xbox Accessories app to invert the Y-Axis via a controller profile, although it does mean that scrolling for emails on the computer is also reversed.

[pegasusactua]

This game has truly been a blast, even my wife who doesnt play games terribly often saw me play this and joined in.

[dibidibadibidibou]

Hope they will release a Y-axis invert patch soon, It's totally impossible for me to play without this option..

[Monafide]

Excellent to hear performance is solid on PS5. I can attest that the game itself is fantastic.

[HAL]

No inverted controls!? Been a long time since I had to deal with that!
