Destroy All Humans! 2: Reprobed Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
It’s a shame the way that such a talented and multifaceted developer like Pandemic Studios ended on such a shoulder shrug of a closure. According to what I’ve read, the original team dispersed to the nine winds around the industry and took up jobs at studios that went on to make games in the Call of Duty franchise, Titanfall, Halo 4, and a bunch of mobile games. If anything, this remake ought to give the original devs some pride that a game they made more than 15 years ago is still loved enough to warrant this kind of project. THQ Nordic now owns the rights to a couple dozen great IP from gami...
Destroy All Humans! 2 Reprobed has been improved upon and offers some great comedic writing for its characters and some solid action but is limited by its 2007 origins.
When looking at the original release, Destroy All Humans 2! improved on its predecessor in almost every way. For the most part, this rings true with Reprobed, with the visual and mechanical overhaul bringing it into the modern scene. Still, the rough technical issues and poorly aged missions may have newcomers shying away.
Destroy All Humans 2 Reprobed is a beautifully done remake of a cult classic that fans are sure to enjoy. There are some bugs and glitches that still need to be ironed out and the boss battles are more exhausting than truly challenging. But, praise be to Arkvoodle.
Obviously a product of genuine affection for the game!
Just know what you’re in for. There’s plenty of potential fun to be had in Destroy All Humans 2, it’s just a bit of a mess. And being a fun mess in 2022 isn’t as forgivable as it was in 2006. Personally, I kept playing just to hear more of Cryptosporidium’s razor-sharp attacks on counter-culture, but I definitely would have preferred it if there was a better game supporting it. Meanwhile, I am fully behind giving early-3D games a fresh coat of paint while retaining what made that era special, even if the package is a bit covered in warts.
Overall, Destroy All Humans! 2: Reprobed is extremely accurate to the original version. This can make the game come off as old and outdated. But for some, that nostalgia kick may hit just the right spot. As it stands, those who loved Destroy All Humans 2! on consoles should consider Reprobed if they can no longer access their older devices. But the remake doesn’t do enough to change things up, and those who never experienced the game in 2006 may be easily put off.
When Destroy All Humans! 2 was originally released back in 2006, the world was a very different place. The “#MeToo” movement was yet to occur and “toxic masculinity” was a term that was nowhere near as common as it is in 2022. Therefore, Destroy All Humans! 2 Reprobed is very much a game of its time and to enjoy it, you either have to teleport your brain cells back to an early-00’s way of thinking or strap in for a cringe-filled ride full of misogyny and toilet humour.
Destroy All Humans 2 - Reprobed is a good-looking remake and certainly has its fun moments, but the repetitive missions of its predecessor remain, and there's a lot of bugs that need addressing. Crypto remains a fun protagonist and the gameplay is entertaining, but it feels this remake needed a bit more care.
Destroy All Humans! 2: Reprobed might be a brutally honest remake of the original game, but that doesn't make it any more pleasant to sit through all its rough parts. Few elements of the core gameplay remain as fun as they were on the PS2, but it's far too shallow to be worth it, especially when it is still riddled with performance issues that can seriously effect your experience.
When I look back at my childhood, there were a number of big titles that caught my eye and ended up becoming my favorites of all time, from the likes of the Spyro Trilogy all the way to Grand Theft Auto San Andreas. And while the reception to the remakes and remasters of these games have been mixed, for me, there is one title that has managed to stay completely true to its original counterpart. Destroy All Humans 2: Reprobed is that game for which we have prepared a detailed review to see if ...
Destroy All Humans! 2: Reprobed is exactly what you would expect based on 2020’s remake of Destroy All Humans! Crypto is back, alongside the femme fatale, Natalya, in an effort to save the Earth. Now with more weapons at your disposal, Destroy All Humans! has never looked or played better, well, apa
