Open-world action game starring an alien invader parodying 1950s science fiction. Absurd humour, telekinetic powers and freedom of action are delightful. An original and entertaining title despite modest production for its era.

Description
A 2005 Pandemic action-adventure published by THQ, a fully embraced parody of 1950s B-grade sci-fi cinema. Players take on Crypto, an alien out to flatten suburban America with disintegration rays, thought-reading and a flying saucer.
Is Destroy All Humans! still worth playing in 2026?
An open world action game from Pandemic, Destroy All Humans! flips the invasion roles by having you play an alien come to sow chaos in paranoid 1950s America. The biting Cold War satire, the gleeful humour and the arsenal of psychic powers and flying saucer gadgets make the whole salt of the game. The dated production and camera show their age. A tasty action comedy to recommend for fans of offbeat sandboxes and unabashed retro futuristic parody.
