Destroy All Humans!

[b]Rating: [/b] ★★★★ - Great [b]Time Played:[/b] 10.1 hours [b]Gameplay:[/b] - This is fundamentally the 2005 game with a visual refit, not a mechanical reimagining. The mission design hasn't evolved. You're doing the same three or four objective types across the whole campaign. - The PK (psychokinesis) system remains the standout mechanic. Throwing cows, cars, and soldiers at each other never loses its appeal. - Stealth exists but feels simple and mediocre. Going loud is almost always faster, more fun, and mechanically rewarded. The Holobob disguise is more useful for infiltration than actual stealth play. - Flying saucer segments feel like a different and noticeably weaker game than the on-foot sections. They're spectacle over substance but they're still fun. [b]Story\Dialogue:[/b] - A Cold War and Red Scare parody rooted in genuine historical absurdity. - Crypto succeeds as a protagonist precisely because he has no redemption arc. He's malevolent and cheerful about it. That's rare. - Pox and Crypto's mentor-student dynamic carries the narrative. Without their chemistry, the thin plot would collapse entirely. - The writing doesn't modernise its humour, which cuts both ways. It feels authentic to its era but occasionally lands flat. - The story doesn't go anywhere surprising. It's a straight line from arrival to invasion with no real twist. The shallowness is fine given the tone, just don't expect depth. [b]Graphics\Music:[/b] - The most significant visual improvement over the original is the lighting. The 1950s golden-hour atmosphere across small-town America is genuinely well-executed. - Environment variety is the weakest area. Five or six different towns all feel like the same assets reshuffled. After a few missions you stop noticing the scenery. - The sci-fi soundtrack is period-accurate and is done well. It doesn't overstay its welcome. - Main character models are expressive and well-realised. Generic NPCs are not. The gap is noticeable. [b]Before you Play:[/b] - Upgrade Dash length abilities, ammo capacity and shields as quick as you can. Everything else is secondary. - Don't hoard Furon DNA. Spend it as you earn it. The campaign is short enough that saving for later is a waste. - Mental Domination (mind control) is underused by most players but is quietly powerful for mission objectives. - Do the side missions when you feel like you need a little boost of Furon DNA but don't do majority of them until you finish the last mission. You get a huge boost of Furon DNA at the end to use on upgrades to make side missions easier.
