Puzzle fans are going to love this creative and unconventional game. Your main goal is all-out looting, stealth and nimble thievery. Intrigued? Teardown was slated for early 2020, so you could get your hands on this outrageous puzzle game then, and the project already had its own Steam page.
The developers at Tuxedo Labs decided to break away from the genre's classic formula, where you steadily wipe out enemies with a huge arsenal. Instead, your main job is to organize the coolest and slickest heists you can. The teaser, for example, shows a level built around collecting keycards. As soon as you pick up the first card, an alarm starts blaring, and you have just one minute to grab the remaining keys and make it to the extraction point.
Notably, the whole puzzle takes place in a destructible voxel world. A good thief has to use the interactive environment to their advantage and plot routes cleverly and quickly. You can, for instance, simply smash through the walls and head straight for the pickup point. To fuel your creativity, the game hands you a rich toolkit: firearms, explosives, a sledgehammer, fast vehicles and more. Nobody is stopping you from moving objects around, either.
You can download Teardown for free and try to beat every level in the most creative way possible. You can collect the keycards in any order you like. In a video, the game's creator Dennis Gustafsson explained that he never built a level around one single logical solution. Since the game runs on a graphics and physics engine made specifically for it, there is very little limiting what you can do. Lighting is handled with ray tracing, but you do not need a high-end graphics card to play comfortably. Even so, the detailed physics simulation calls for a fast quad-core processor or better, along with a graphics card on the level of a GeForce GTX 1060.
