More about Destroy All Humans!

Players rate it 92 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 83 percent. Something recent has soured the room. Of the 798 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 15 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written November 2020 to October 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 79 percent of the 960 reviews written there were positive, against 92 percent overall, and those are 11 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (cosmetic); the score docks it lightly for that.

At 7.6 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

What players say

I bought this game purely to relive a bit of my childhood from when I used to play it on the PS2. NOSTALGIA is honestly the best word to describe it. The premise and story are relatively simple, but I've always described this game in the simplest possible way: "That alien game." And honestly, that's all it needs to be :) Pure nostalgia. Definitely worth it if you grew up playing it.

The range on your weapons and abilities have been reduced, relative to original versions. This in turn limits the fun, including by making the missions more frustrating.
