If you’re a fan of Teardown’s chaotic, physics-based destruction, the Folkrace DLC is a thrilling addition you won’t want to miss. This DLC masterfully takes the game’s core idea of destruction and injects it into a unique and creative setting that feels almost like it could stand on its own as a separate game.

In an era where modern arcade racing games are few and far between, Folkrace stands out, offering a nostalgic nod to classics like Burnout. The rush of smashing through obstacles and opponents is exhilarating, evoking fond memories of those high-octane races.

However, it’s worth noting that Folkrace isn’t a walk in the park, especially at the beginning. The learning curve can be steep, and some players might find the initial pace a bit slow. But stick with it, and you’ll find that upgrading your cars transforms the experience. The more you progress, the more satisfying the gameplay becomes, making those early struggles worthwhile.

This DLC is another strong showing from the studio, proving once again that they know how to deliver high-quality, engaging content.
