Every wall is a suggestion: Teardown's fully destructible voxel world turns heists into demolition puzzles - carve shortcuts, rig escape routes, then beat the alarm in sixty seconds of chaos you engineered. The best physics toy of its decade, and a real game besides.

In Teardown, you plan and execute heists in a fully destructible voxel world, using tools and vehicles to create shortcuts and avoid robots. The games below emphasize constructing machines, managing resources, or sandbox experimentation, offering varied approaches to building, destruction, and survival.

Besiege
SandboxSimulationPuzzlePublic similarity
- Why it's similar
- Design a siege machine, then drive it into a castle or enemy formation, watching physical feedback and tweaking the structure until the target is destroyed.
- Choose it when
- Prefer repeatedly adjusting a catapult's angle and counterweight over planning infiltration routes or dodging robots.
- But
- The setting shifts from modern heist to medieval siege, where objectives change from stealing items to wrecking buildings and armies. You no longer need stealth or escape planning, focusing only on machine design and firepower.
Space Engineers
SandboxCraftingSimulationPublic similarity
- Why it's similar
- First mine ore, then weld ship or base components on an assembly line while managing power grids and oxygen to keep survival systems running.
- Choose it when
- Ready to invest in a long-term space outpost, spending extensive time on resource management and system upkeep rather than one-off demolition jobs.
- But
- The arena expands from ground to planets and space, with building shifting from temporary cover to long-term vessels and stations. You juggle gravity, oxygen, and power, making construction and maintenance as important as destruction and heists.
Trailmakers
SandboxCraftingCo-opPublic similarity
- Why it's similar
- Drive into a sandbox map to collect parts, then assemble a vehicle to tackle terrain obstacles, adjusting suspension or engine based on grip and speed.
- Choose it when
- Prefer a session centered on building and testing one vehicle's speed or firepower, with no stealth or getaway planning required.
- But
- Destruction becomes a side effect of collisions, not a tool; missions shift from stealing targets to racing or combat. Building focuses on vehicle performance like aerodynamics or weapons, not environment manipulation.
Stormworks: Build and Rescue
SandboxSimulationCo-opPublic similarity
- Why it's similar
- Pilot a custom rescue boat into rough seas, adjusting buoyancy and engines based on conditions, then approach the target in waves and tow it back.
- Choose it when
- Prefer planning rescue routes in storms over heist planning, and accept a playstyle without robot pursuers.
- But
- Gameplay shifts from destruction to rescue, with weather and ocean states as primary challenges. You design vehicles to withstand storms, and coordinate fuel, damage, and rescue logistics, instead of using explosives to clear paths.
Brick Rigs
SandboxSimulationCo-opPublic similarity
- Why it's similar
- Build a vehicle or machine, then drive it into other players or buildings, tweaking structural strength and weight distribution based on collision effects.
- Choose it when
- Plan to spend many hours on silly designs and multiplayer crashes, without step-by-step missions or a narrative.
- But
- The setting moves from mission-driven heists to an open sandbox without objectives or story. Destruction is the main play, crashes are more exaggerated with bricks flying, and multiplayer interaction is crucial, not solo stealth.
