Destroy All Humans! 2 - Reprobed

This game looks fantastic visually, unfortunately the game is full of bugs, I didn't even get out of bay city before I experienced a game breaking bug where I couldn't tractor beam anything which meant I couldn't replenish saucer shields or abduct anyone meaning I couldn't upgrade anything. So two hours into the remake of one of my all time favourite games is over. As other reviewers here have mentioned despite the game opening screen claiming the game is uncensored and as it was back in 2006 the sex change quest which I recall was quite funny has been removed. I'm really disappointed in this remake, Destroy all humans remake had it's flaws but was over all a very good game and a fine remake. This is just dire. Maybe it will get fixed in a few patches time. Your better off emulating the ps2 version on pc or buy the original for ps2, ps4 or ps5 if you own any of those consoles.

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.

Horrible framerate issues be aware!

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.

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.
