Destroy All Humans!

Legendary stuff. I never played the original 3 games, but back in the Xbox 360 days, I had a copy of Path of the Furon that was and still remains one of my favorite games of all time. Was definitely excited to check out not only the OG, but to experience this new and improved remake/remaster.

I wasn't ready for this game to be a challenge. The campaign itself isn't very hard; I think some of the optional objectives were a pain, especially toward the end of the game, and the end boss is beefy, but in the end, I didn't really break a sweat (which I loved because games that aggravate me half the time isn't fun) but these challenges are an entirely different story. Completing all the challenges with 3 stars is quite the feat, especially the last level; Capitol City. God I hated this (especially the race). Ya know, this actually gave me the idea that maybe some of these extra side stuff in games just isn't worth it. Not only does this make me leave the game on a semi-bad note, but trying to be a completionist is exhausting, and for what? An extra achievement? Yeah, so as you can tell, these challenges made me question why I'm even doing it, but after finally completing it, it felt good... Good to know I never have to attempt them again.

This game was loads of fun though, despite the challenges. I clocked in about 30 hours in this game until I complete it so as you can tell, I was fairly thorough.

Not only do you get to wreck havoc as a little grey alien named Crypto, but you also get to shoot things (such as buildings)down in a spaceship. The story is kinda fun/funny, and the ending is actually pretty good, and even though the game does feel it's age at times, it still packs its punch. I'd definitely recommend the game.

Destroy All Humans is an amazing game. A fun vibrant game with laughs and enjoyable moments.

I thoroughly enjoyed playing this. Destroying humans, cows and buildings, what else can you ask for?

There are some things this game does better than the original and some things it doesn't do as well, but it's a pretty faithful recreation and they did a good job considering the unpredictable state of 2020, which apparently interfered with the development of the game.

Pros:

• Graphics, lighting and FX are amazing
• General gameplay is much smoother
• ability to replay missions
• kept the same amazing soundtrack
• The option to skate/sprint with the jetpack is a very welcome addition that helps you cover ground much faster on foot than the original did
• Keeps a lot of the original missions and performances intact and adds some new stuff here and there that doesn't feel out of place
• the day-night cycle is a welcome addition
• skin selection/costumes were very entertaining
• makes the boss battles more challenging than they were in the original
• cutscenes are extremely well-edited and directed
• holobob/disguise is much better-looking
• locations have all been overhauled and they all look amazing, no complaints about the maps whatsoever, much better than the original, though I miss when Union Town had a dark blue hue; I also love the new dark green hue
• nice to see the concept art from the new developers
• probes look better
• NPC designs have been improved in terms of detail, animations and variety, the scientists in particular all look badass.

Cons:

• Psychokinesis controls are fairly limited compared to the original, also can't use psychokinesis while disguised
• New Cartoonish style took me some time to adjust to (more of a complaint amongst players of the original game, which attempted a more realistic style but with limited graphics), human character models tend to look better in gameplay than in cutscenes
• some bugs and glitches
• side missions/challenges suck, they aren't as fun or innovative as the original ones, they're repetitive, extremely difficult and they're a serious obstacle for players looking to get 100% completion
• missing voice and scan lines for some NPCs such as the robots and mutants
• general game and missions are too easy, especially after getting more upgrades, though that's subjective
• main menu/pox's ship isn't as immersive or interesting as the original
• retro atmosphere is still mostly intact, concerning the design of the humans, but some of the furon designs feel too clean, modern and out of place
• motion capture in cutscenes can feel awkward
• extras menu is limited compared to the original
• NPCs still have limited voices, not much variety to be congruent with all of the new designs (e.g. black, white and latino police officers all still talk with an irish accent, teenager in a letterman jacket talks like a middle-aged man, scientists used to have two voices, an eccentric german accented one and a nerdy american accented one, now it's just the german one)

All in all,

👍79% It's nothin amazing and there's a lot of bugs and glitches but it's a blast to play through and I haven't gotten bored once.

It was the year 2005 I was just a kid The game got into my head I fell in love the mechanics were really well done it was so addictive Now 15 years later left me speechless They did a outstanding job at this Remake Better graphics and new and improved New interactions Original 2005 dialogue and New Character development You will not be disappointed
