Destroy All Humans! 2: Reprobed Review

Destroy All Humans! 2 Reprobed reviewed on PC by Dan Stapleton. Also available on Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5.

Destroy All Humans! 2: Reprobed does a fine job of updating the 2006 original to look like a modern game, but that game was a fairly unambitious sequel that didn’t do much to evolve its gameplay. And while I’d be fine with a somewhat repetitive campaign that breaks up its missions with comedy, this is some solid C+ material that only occasionally lands a chuckle – and more often some serious cringes. Split-screen co-op makes it more enjoyable to blast through and combat does eventually get tougher when bulkier enemies join the fray, but by and large it’s more of the same B-movie sci-fi homage without a lot of brain-popping new ideas.

This guy is complaining that there aren't any crypto currency jokes even though the game takes place in the goddamn 50s - 60s.

[henkful]

Are you really complaining that Crypto is OP against humans? That's the freaking point of the whole game. It's even in the title...

Critic's really love hating on old games saying their all dated, it pisses me off to no end

[detectivelizard]

"Why doesn't this remake of a mid 2000s game set in the 1960s have relevant topical humour based on today's current events?" Are you actually serious?

[liesareparadox]

Dude… this is not a reimagining. It’s a remake. You approached this as if it was a brand new game 🤦‍♂️

[lukestarkiller]

Of course a game that actually puts EFFORT into their remake gets a low score.
Compared to other HD remakes which are ridiculously lazy, just slapping some moderately upscaled textures and shipping it out.

This series is EXACTLY how remakes should be done.

IGN reviewed this game ... completely in the wrong perspective.. Game stays true to its roots for the reason of being a niche game from the past. You cant criticise it for that. Its not destroy all human 4 being made on the new Unreal engine 5...

[razorblazor]

Yeah I'm buying this game day 100%. Devs are catering to target audience instead of twatter and staying true to original game. That calls for reward.

[thedoobiewizard]

"There are no crypto jokes" was a criticism. Give me a break lol

[seeingred]

The reviewer hates fun. Everyone who enjoyed the originals class the 2nd game as better then the 1st.

[abhishekmajumder]

They gave this game the same rating as the Saints Row Reboot, what a bunch of hacks!

[larryhouse]

For what this game is, a remake of a old cult classic. It's EASILY a 8, arguably a 9. It's a fantastic recreation of a beloved story and character.

[isaakfaulk]

The reviewers rly gonna complain they didn’t make a crypto currency joke tf

[noahwilliams]

You mean to say, this is a fan favorite game from a different era in which people can have fun and turn off their brains for five minutes and not have to worry about being bogged down by a complicated story or gameplay strategy... weird its almost like this game is tailored towards gamers

[darryldavis]

The game is legitimately a remake. The humor still keeps up. I'm buying because I'm hoping they make a sequel

[tedd]

You gave saints row a 6/10, but this game is more polished and even added new content and did a real remaster and you gave it a 6?

[eltrapo]

IGN please hire actual gamers that knows wtf is actually going on. This review is one of the many examples why ppl think you guys are a joke and everything you guys put up should be take as satire

[charmingpeasant]

A polished, faithful remake of a cult classic gets the same score as the horrendous Saints Row reboot💀

[rickybobby]

IGN hates this game because it takes us back to the pre-clown world era

[emibla]

Dude, it's a reboot from the second game. It's not Destroy All Humans! 3...
