Early Access Review
What is the goal of Teardown
you must complete certain objectives by destroying and creating pathways before starting the timed objective while gaining weapons and upgrades as you level up along with a custom sandbox for some fun.

how good is the destruction?
you realise how much destruction is missing in video games playing this and how a little affect to the world can mean so much, for me it was driving a truck back from an objective and seeing all the little changes i had made, the sign being broken and hanging, the damaged wall i had clipped by accident, the metal fence on the floor that i had blow torched to take it off. To see how you impact the world without even thinking is very cool.
at a base level the destruction is fantastic however for me, the key draw back is the lack of weight from the areas falling down, seeing a giant brick tower tip and fall floatily and then do little to no damage did leave me wanting just a little more.

modding?
There is a discord and a good source of mods already being made mostly focusing on weapons and vehicles with an additional mod destruction toolkit if you want to punish your gpu.

Mission variety?
There's a decent amount of missions, they aren't all just stealing and getting away but they do generally focus around them a lot, however there are always little touches to levels to keep it interesting enough.

Bug?
I didn't come across any, no crashes either. not to say that its a perfectly bug free game but i personally didn't come across any.

weapon variety?
There's a good amount, most focus on destruction at different amounts and range with the extinguisher and planks doing different tasks. I feel the game would benefit a bit more by nerfing the shotgun damage on metal and keep that focused more for bombs and rockets. along with maybe tailoring future missions to these weapons.

new content?
After finishing the campaign i can confirm there will be more content, not sure when but it does say so in the game itself and im sure modding will aid this.

what does it need?
I think coop may be out the question but i would love some more ai rather than the last few missions. something that requires you to think about stealth or even your health bar a bit more.

Final thoughts
A fantastic game, a must buy if you like speed running, changing the environment and destruction. A fully operational game with more content than most finished games that come out and will only benefit from future updates and mods.
