    Destroy All Humans! brings the beginning of sci-fi back and improves the 2005 game. It's fun, the gameplay is well executed and the sense of humour and cliches are still there. Don't miss the opportunity to destroy all humans, because Crypto-137 and Pox deserve a chance.

    Destroy All Humans! is not a complicated or even particularly difficult game. But it sticks to the original game's strengths.

    Destroy All Humans! Is still a fun game in 2020. With the quality of life improvements and updated visuals it passes as a game that could have been released today, just not a showcase piece. I loved these types of B-tier titles last generation and am glad to see them making a somewhat return to prominence. Now if we could only get a new title in the series of the same quality I would be down with a next-gen version of Crypto’s shenanigans. Just forget that Big Will Unleashed ever existed and we will be just fine.

    Destroy All Humans! definitely falls under the 'faithful remake' category, with great humour, short and sweet missions, and lots of stuff to blow up. Blowing things up does become repetitive, but it's still a lot of fun.

    Destroy All Humans! is an easy game to recommend for fans of the original. It feels faithful almost to a fault as it carries the story, jokes, and somewhat antiquated game design with it. While there are some nice additions and decent visuals, it probably won’t do much to convince those who didn’t play it back in 2005 to give it a go.

    Destroy All Humans is a fantastic remake of a cult hit from two generations prior. Fans of the original game will be happy to see everything they love is both intact and improved, while players who never got on board with the Furon Empire’s decimation of the human race can consider this the perfect opportunity to kneel before their new, less-than-benevolent overlords.

    In my opinion, I feel that Destroy All Humans 2 should’ve been remastered instead since it was made and released at a later time period in gaming. While first time players might find it a little stale, bland, and repetitive, old players regardless will have fun with the game as it throws them back into a more simpler time period than the one we’re living in now.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. If you are expecting a new entry to the Destroy All Humans franchise in terms of story, that might be still years away. However the only thing that hinders it a bit is the fact that it follows the original 2005 story to a near perfect tee. As for gameplay, weapons, and over all executing the games namesake is an incredible journey to a simpler time when games where made with love and not a needless cashgrab. If you are new to the series or just a longtime fan it's a welcome addition to a cult classic. Here's hoping it doesn't take another 15 years to journey back into the space boots of crypto.… Full Review »

    A perfect remake. It keeps just enough to make you nostalgia, but adds enough for it to feel fresh.

    Great game. I use to play this game all of the time. It’s also so nice to see a game that’s not pushing social politics and political agendasGreat game. I use to play this game all of the time. It’s also so nice to see a game that’s not pushing social politics and political agendas into itself. It’s even nicer to see a game that has free speech and a sense of humor without being paranoid about everything it says because it’s worried about offending people. It doesn’t take everything or itself so serious. But a 9/10 because it is just an awesome game. The gameplay and mechanics are really good. But the best part is the comedy. Most of the jokes are satires. I’ve been wanting a remake or remaster for sooo long. I love this game so much!!!… Full Review »
