Destroy All Humans! 2: Reprobed is an open world action-adventure video game developed by Black Forest Games and published by THQ Nordic. The game is a remake of the 2006 original game, the sequel to the remake of Destroy All Humans!, and the sixth installment in the Destroy All Humans! franchise.

In Destroy All Humans! 2: Reprobed, players assume the role of the grey alien Crypto as he travels to various locations around the world, including England , Japan , Russia , and the United States , to complete various missions and defeat human enemies. The game features a variety of weapons and abilities that players can use to defeat enemies, including the ability to mind-control humans and pilot a flying saucer.

Destroy All Humans! 2: Reprobed was released for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on 30 August 2022. A single-player-only version of the game was released for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on 27 June 2023.[1] It received mixed reviews from critics.

Gameplay

Destroy All Humans! 2: Reprobed is played from a third-person perspective. It is an action-adventure game that involves both shooting and stealth elements. As players progress throughout the game, new weapons, new abilities, better stats, and access to new vehicles are unlocked.[2] The game is set across five locations: Bay City, Albion, Takoshima, Tunguska, and the Solaris moon base (some of which are parodies of real-life locations such as San Francisco , London, and Tokyo). Several of these locations have been expanded in size from the original game, adding new areas to explore.[3]

The game's campaign is fully playable in both single-player and two-player local split-screen co-op.[4]

Release

Destroy All Humans! 2: Reprobed was released for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on 30 August 2022.[5][6] The game launched with a physical collector's edition, entitled the Second Coming Edition, limited to 3,700 copies.[7] A single-player only version of the game was released for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on 27 June 2023.[8]

Destroy All Humans! 2: Reprobed received "mixed or average" reviews from critics, according to review aggregator website Metacritic.[17]

IGN gave the game 6/10, writing that "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...by and large it's more of the same B-movie sci-fi homage without a lot of brain-popping new ideas."[14]
