What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
The lowest price on record is $2.99, set in August 2024. 43 discounts in the 6 years on record. They run about 75 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 14 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 6 weeks.
On value it sits in the top 29 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 87 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 89 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Saints Row IV: Re-Elected ($19.99, scores 69) beats it on value, while it beats Destroy All Humans! 2 - Reprobed ($39.99, scores 46).
Of the 297 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 2 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written August 2024 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 80 percent of the 953 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
This game is exactly what a remake should be. It's the exact same game we loved back in the day, but better optimized and much prettier to look at. No extra stuff added that we didn't want. No forced in political aganda (except for the ones that were there to begin with lol and just plain old fashioned fun. Even if you've never played the original, I would highly adviced checking this game out to see if it's for you.
**REVIEW AFTER 100%** This is actually the most fun I have had in a game. Some of the boss fights can be tough too if you're not careful. The story in this is actually pretty funny at time with some of the comments humans say when you scan them or the conversations between Pox and Crypto as they try to dominate the planet. The biggest hurdle I found to 100% this is getting 3 stars in all challenges. This really...
WARNING: This rerelease is CENSORED. Some butthurt feminist decided a joke about a woman getting an anal probe needed to be removed even though the game was already rated T. The rerelease of the sequel is also censored to remove black stereotypes and jokes about transgenderism. I feel ripped off that I paid money for this. I didn't give them permission to censor my game, and now that I've played long enough to...

Destroy All Humans! scores 56/100 on the BANG Score (fair value). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/803330/destroy-all-humansThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Sep 14, price as of Sep 24.
