3 hours in and I'm already mad at myself for not buying this game sooner. I don't know how much I even have left, but it's easily earned the $15 it's on sale for. I've had it wish listed since before it came out. It has lived up to what i dreamed and more. Not just a sandbox. Story mode with progression. Unlock-able vehicles and whatnot. Well done.

Not sure what is crazier: that I'm playing an all-but-in-name sequel to Rare's N64 classic Blast Corps in 2024 or that the ONE developer (really? really really?) who created this hadn't heard of Blast Corps until people mentioned it, but has then taken inspiration from it and further improved the game. The Circle of Life, lads.

The physics are super cool and really impressive. The large selection of different vehicles and different ways to destroy everything are really fun to mess with too. Just a big, fun, physics-based, destructive sandbox, with plenty of tools. And a good portion of the missions and challenges are even great. There's a lot to like However, all of the "transport these boxes" missions are ridiculously bad and do not belong in the game. No idea what they were thinking there. Definitely not what someone would want to play this game for. Also, the later levels (islands 8 & 9) get a bit frustrating, often giving you a really shitty car and some annoying turrets that you can't fight back against. It's just a boring headache that kinda misses what makes the game fun cuz you're having to rush the objective without getting to enjoy the level. Super disappointing to anyone wanting to 100% the game. Despite these 2 faults i'd still recommend cuz the rest of the game really is a lot of fun and the destruction physics are top tier if you're into that. The dev is also super receptive to feedback and pays attention to the community with updates and responses as you can see below. Gotta support great devs like this

This is the first game where I saw one clip of it online and IMMEDIATELY rushed to purchase it. What the developer has put together is an absolutely breathtaking and fun thing. I've been taking this game to work with me and I honestly feel like a little kid again. So much about the gameplay, presentation and creative ideas inspire me to play and play some more. I hope player numbers continue to climb, because I genuinely believe this is something extremely special. The Workshop integration is brilliant and I think people are gonna make some really funny and entertaining maps and vehicles. Thanks to the developer for making a game that truly feels like it was made directly for me. The brilliance of letting you redo missions with every vehicle to see if it's possible or how fun it is guarantees I'm going to spend triple digit hours in this game over the course of this year. I couldn't possibly recommend this game hard enough to people who enjoy destruction physics in games, fun vehicle building, and excellent, thoughtful level and UI design. Do yourself the favor of jumping in and supporting a crazy developer who is better at this one specific kind of gameplay and tech than literally anyone else working in the industry.

I'm a white-bearded old man who has played games for a long, long time. Blast Corps is a super unique and awesome game by Rare for the Nintendo 64. It is a game so unique that not many (if any) games have come close to replicating it's essence. This game is not Blast Corps, but it sure kicks the same neurons into gear in my brain. It may be the first time that has happened. It feels like it's own thing, but I'll be damned if there isn't more than a few nods to Blast Corps in both design and presentation. That's a very cool thing. Great little game.
