So there has been a rash of remastered/remade games lately, some blatantly not good like Rockstar's bullcrap classic GTA games remaster which actually made the games worse. But thankfully there are also some really good ones out there like the Destroy All Humans remaster, which I happened to like a lot.
First off, I haven't actually played the original games when they came out, so take everything with a grain of salt when comparing the two here, but from what I hear they didn't do anything to ruin or change the story, characters, setting, or overall story in any way from the original, so massive win there. Why is this so important, you ask? Well in this day and age when even video game developers aren't immune to the tides of woke bullcrap and try to include "the message" in everything, it's nice to a developer sick to it's guns and insist on retaining all it's political incorrectness that made the original characters and dialogue so good to begin with.
The game is really prized for it's excellent humor, and straight up leans into an insanely exaggerated late-50s little green men from mars setting and story that works so dang well. With all your favorite tropes to play an wreak havoc with like mind control, ESP, telekinesis, ray guns, jetpacks, gelatinous goop, and of course, flying saucers with tractor beams. My favorite aspect to the gameplay is that it feels like a more demented version of what an Invader Zim game would be like and it even features Billy West straight up doing the same voice as Zim for the character of your boss in the game!
Needless to say, I'm eager to get the remastered version of the sequel as well.
