Here's two games (Red Faction and Red Faction 2) that fit this tag, but the older game is obviously superior case of environmental destructibility.

For cases where this is more than just few pots, chairs and boxes.

Preset walls or other obstacles set to be destroyed to allow progress shouldn't count. Only cases where things that don't much matter for game progress should.

Structures built during gameplay (such as bases) are not to be included!
