Why Destroy All Humans 2 is the next game you should be probing

videogameschronicle.com:

If there’s any justice in the world, 2022 will be the year of Crypto.

Don’t worry; we’re not trying to push the merits of Bitcoin or NFTs – we’re talking about Cryptosporidium-138, the star of Destroy All Humans 2: Reprobed, which is out now on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.

Reprobed is a full remake of the classic 2006 action-adventure game Destroy All Humans 2, completely built from the ground up in Unreal Engine 4.

Set in the swinging sixties, the game follows Crypto as he seeks justice against the Soviets, who have blown up his mothership with a nuclear missile.

Refusing to take such aggression lying down (or even just slouching a bit), Crypto sets off on an adventure that will take him across the world and beyond… and before long it emerges that the KGB aren’t the only enemies he has to deal with.

Look, we know, there are plenty of open-world action games out there, so it takes something different to stand out from the crowd. How many open-world games have an Anal Probe, though? Exactly, that’s what we thought.

It’s not just his bum-bothering tool that makes Crypto a unique action-adventure protagonist. As in the first Destroy All Humans, he’s armed with a host of over-the-top weapons designed to cause as much carnage as possible.

Pesky building standing in your way? Call up the Meteor Strike to summon a meteor to fall from the sky and crash through it, taking out any humans silly enough to be in the vicinity (speaking of which, remember to run away after calling for it).

Fancy doing damage from underneath rather than from above? Use your special lures to summon the Burrow Beast, an alien monster that can leap out from under the earth and chow down on unsuspecting Earthlings.

Sometimes Crypto can’t do everything on his own,
