Pretty good remaster

For those who never played any Destroy All Humans games (especially the originals), all you need to know is this is a goofy open-world alien shoot-em-up set in the swingin' 60s. The gameplay focuses a lot on blowing stuff up, but it does have a good variety of missions (escort, stealth, flying saucer etc), plus lots of side missions and collectables / unlockables to keep you busy. The story/dialogue is crammed full with pop culture refernces and has a good selection of pee/poo/fart/sex jokes. The game has a few bugs as other reviewers have mentioned but I've not experienced major bugs. Mainly funny physics glitches and NPCs getting stuck in objects. But I think that fits the character of the game (silly)! Visuals and music are decent too. Overall probably worth the ~£30. Definitely worth £20 or less if you find it on sale. For those who have played the original DAH2 and want to know how it compares --- First, I really enojyed the original DAH2 on PS2. And I am really enjoying this remaster too! I would say this remaster stays mostly true to the original, but with some exceptions. There are some quality of life "upgrades" they added which in my opinion don't really detract from the overall vibe of the original - S.K.A.T.E for example (which was in the DAH1 remaster too) just aids zipping around the map. The (gamepad) controls are different too but they're quite intuitive. However, they also made some inexplicable changes that I feel they should have left. For example, the Dislocator was super fun in the original but they changed it a lot for the remaster. Now it just bounces targets repeatedly into the ground like a basketball. Much less hilarious. Not sure why they changed it. Other reviews also mention the "Take it like a man" side mission (the sex change one) that was removed. Again, not a big deal but a bit inexplicable as I believe it was quite progressive at the time and it'd have probably been easy to tweak it to be even more progressive now.

A better Saints Row than Saints Row '22

The Good Unapologetic raucousness Cops back in the donut shops Roasting of mindless woke culture Natalya Ivanova The Bad Minor bugs Awkward saucer control scheme Underdeveloped lore and characters And I don't mean it just as a jab at the dumpster fire that is the Saints Row reboot relesaed a few days prior. Like the first four entries in the Saints Row series, Destroy All Humans! Reprobed is sarcastic, witty and satirical. Almost self-aware in many instances. The devs didn't neuter the game to appeal to the special types who walk around looking for reason to feign victimhood. Granted, this probably isn't a "true" open world game; characters and quests aren't exactly deep. The storyline exists mostly as an excuse to cause destruction laugh at the outrageousness. The small maps make it feel like you revisit many locations. This game is mostly about going on a power trip. There are enough weapons and abilities to gain throughout the game to cause plenty of destruction and keep you busy. Surprisingly, there is decent verticality in map traversal--something that seems nonexistent and many recent open world games. Some bugs I encountered, none of which are game breaking. The biggest gripe is the awkward saucer control scheme which involves mousing left-right to aim horizontal but then up-down to elevate/lower (as opposed to aiming up/down). Granted, the saucer plays a marginal role in the overall scheme of the game making this a minor gripe rather than a major annoyance. DAH:Reprobed now also includes a photo mode. Admittedly, aside from Natalya, there's not much to look at compared to the likes of bigger budget contemporaries. Nonetheless, even from the early days of gaming I've always been of the opinion more games should include a photo mode to record and share such unimportant trivialities. Photo mode is a welcome addition. Don't look too deep into it, a silly and outrageous power trip, this is a faithful and welcome (re)entry in the Destroy All Humans! series.

Great game

The first time I ever played destroy all humans was due to the 1st game remake. And this game does not dissapoint at all. Very nice and fluid gameplay, and the story is amazing in my opinion. Now I know why so many people loved this series growing up. Glad I got to experience these games.

Amusing enough, the original is better.

Having in essence covertly taken over the 50s United States in the first game, our villain-hero alien Crypto (or at least, one of his clones) returns to deal with the machinations of a world-shattering conspiracy coming from in the Soviet Union in the 60s- complete with hippies, mod-fashioned Brits, and ninjas. "Destroy All Humans 2" is a third-person action game where the player is tasked with carrying out various missions through a combination of stealth/disguise, over-powered alien weaponry, and flying saucer shenanigans. Its broad sense of humor takes on stoner/hippie culture, the paranoia and deprivation gripping the 60s Soviet Union, spy movies, science fiction, and, well, pretty much whatever the creators felt like taking on. I had a pretty good time with the first game, between the absurdities of tossing cows around American Heartland landscapes and absurd parodies of American tropes and Cold War paranoia. Little about the game was enormously challenging, but it was a pretty good time. DAH2 is distinctly weaker. The controls and camera feel more awkward, the humor feels less sharp and focused, and the mission design is too often tedious, with a couple of difficulty spikes that largely spring from poor interface/mission design and unclear objectives. Cameras getting stuck in buildings, a power that by default takes clicking both thumbsticks to activate, occasional crazy directional swings that force the player to spin around... And more than a few outright bugs remain, as icing on the cake. Nothing too game-breaking, as others have said, but distracting and detracting, none the less. And the caricatures and thick accents of "not-Japan"... Look, I don't consider myself some ultra-orthodox PC proponent, but it's basically a single not-that-funny joke that gets more and more frayed. I started longing for one character speaking perfect English. Like one of the kind people offering directions, on my trip to the real Japan. On sale, worth if for fans of DAH1.
