Destroy All Humans! 2 – Reprobed: Single Player – PlayStation 4 Review

Some games try to be subtle. Destroy All Humans! 2 – Reprobed absolutely does not.

This PlayStation 4 remake throws you straight back into the swinging ’60s as Crypto, everyone’s favourite sarcastic alien, armed with outrageous weapons, psychic powers and absolutely no interest in behaving himself. It’s loud, chaotic and deliberately ridiculous — and that’s exactly why it works.

Back to the Swinging ’60s

Originally released in 2006, Destroy All Humans! 2 built a cult following thanks to its satire, sandbox destruction and unapologetically crude humour. Reprobed brings that formula back with improved visuals and smoother gameplay while keeping the spirit of the original intact.

The psychedelic colour palette, exaggerated characters and over-the-top writing are all still here. It doesn’t pretend to be sophisticated — it leans into its absurdity.

If you missed it the first time around, this remake makes it easy to jump in without feeling dated.

Proper Single-Player Mayhem

In a world dominated by online shooters and endless battle passes, there’s something refreshing about a game fully committed to single-player chaos.

You play as Crypto, navigating a ridiculous Cold War-era storyline packed with conspiracy theories, military incompetence and plenty of opportunities to cause havoc. Missions range from stealthy infiltration to full-scale destruction, and the open environments give you freedom in how you approach them.

You can play it straight if you want.

Or you can throw cars at civilians using telekinesis while mind-controlling a police officer for backup.

The choice is yours.

Alien Powers That Make It Fun

Crypto’s abilities are where the real enjoyment comes from. Telekinesis lets you lift enemies, vehicles and just about anything else unfortunate enough to be nearby. Mind control adds another layer of chaos, allowing you to manipulate humans into helping your invasion.

Combine that with a growing arsenal of alien weaponry and the destruction rarely feels repetitive. There’s always another dramatic, slightly irresponsible way to clear an objective.

It’s simple, but it’s satisfying.

Visuals and Performance on PS4

On PlayStation 4, Reprobed looks significantly sharper than the original release. Character models are more detailed, environments are richer and the presentation feels modern without losing its cartoonish charm.

Explosions are dramatic, weapons feel impactful and the exaggerated art style suits the tone perfectly. It isn’t aiming for realism — and it shouldn’t.

Performance remains stable during the chaos, which matters when half the map is airborne.

Humour That Commits to the Bit

The writing remains one of the game’s strongest elements. The satire takes aim at politics, pop culture and Cold War paranoia with deliberate exaggeration.

Crypto’s dialogue is sarcastic and self-aware, often crossing into complete absurdity. Not every joke will land for everyone, but the game commits fully to its tone without watering it down.

That confidence is part of its charm.

Final Verdict

Destroy All Humans! 2 – Reprobed on PS4 is a confident remake that understands why the original became a cult favourite.

It’s chaotic, deliberately over-the-top and proudly single-player in a multiplayer-heavy era. It won’t convert players who dislike sandbox destruction or irreverent humour, but for fans of the series — or anyone who enjoys causing pixelated mayhem — it’s a thoroughly entertaining ride.

Sometimes you don’t want realism.

Sometimes you just want to invade Earth properly.
