Destroy All Humans! 2: Reprobed

That said, none of these issues really bothered me to the point where I didn't want to play anymore. I was too busy having fun with my anal probe, yeeting hippies into the stratosphere, and having a few guilty laughs at the cancel-worthy humor.Destroy All Humans! 2 - Reprobed is a really good game that doesn't take itself seriously. In some ways, it's a relic from another era, a reminder of how simple and fun games used to be; a time before the endless grind. Heck, there's even couch multiplayer, once a standard feature in games that has slowly faded out over the years. Despite its heritage, D...

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...

For now, though, I highly recommend Destroy All Humans! 2 - Reprobed. While Reprobed left me feeling a bit empty because it is another exact one-to-one recreation, the new updates and additions as well as a beautifully recreated world gives me just enough trust that Black Forest Games is the team to resurrect the Furon Empire.

Ask a long-time gamer about humor in video games, and they’re likely to mention Double Fine’s classics. It makes sense. Games like Psychonauts and its sequel, or Escape from Monkey Island are classic examples. But, as Destroy All Humans! 2 Reprobed reminds us, smart and funny writing does not exclusively belong to Tim Schafer and company.

Destroy All Humans 2 Reprobed is a crazy sandbox of causing destruction and stealing brain stems. With the right changes, the Steam Deck is a wonderful way to enjoy the game!

If you enjoyed 2020’s Destroy All Humans! remake and want more outrageous exploits with Crypto, you’ll be very happy with Destroy All Humans! 2 – Reprobed. It’s a continuation of the tried and tested gameplay – for better or worse – but with more weapons and bigger, more varied environments. We can’t help but wish that Crypto was treated to a new outing though, one with revised controls and mechanics. These remakes are entertaining enough, but with one foot in the past, Crypto just can’t fulfil his potential.

Destroy All Humans! 2: Reprobed has been brushed up nicely despite some inconsistent performance and prolific bugs.

Destroy All Humans! 2 – Reprobed enhances the look and gameplay of the 2006 classic, but does not solve some of the game's underlying issues.

Crypto would have totally assassinated Margaret Thatcher.

Destroy All Humans! 2 - Reprobed is exactly what you'd expect, a sprucing up of a game that's so obviously from another era it can be painful at times. However, strip some of that back and the core idea is pretty fun and still works on a basic level, albeit with a few caveats as mentioned. If you played the old version and have some nostalgia for it, this remake will no-doubt scratch that itch and take you back, but those after a more comprehensive 'remake' of such an effort will probably be left wanting a bit more modernisation. It's time to retire the probe for another 15 years, then.

At some point during the billion hour long campaign for Destroy All Humans! 2: Reprobed — a remake of 2006's Destroy All Humans! 2 for PS2 — we began to wonder where it had all gone wrong. There we were, running around as a little alien shooting innocent passers-by with a gun that reduces them to skeletons and all we could muster was a deflated sigh. It wasn't sympathy — we welcome our new alien overlords. It wasn't revulsion either because we love turning people into skeletons. It should be gold, but we felt nothing.

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.
