Destroy All Humans! 2

After THQ Nordic and Black Forest Games with Destroy All Humans! 2 020 already brought a new edition of the predecessor to current systems, now also appears Destroy All Humans 2! With the subtitle reused in new splendor. It is not a remastered version again, but a full remake. Even if the basic framework of the game is preserved, there are also some adjustments compared to the original.

Setting and story of the game seem to have been adopted remained unchanged. Alien Crypto gets to do it in 1969 among others with MI6 and the KGB and rages in Bay City (San Francisco), Albion (London), Takoshima (Tokyo) and Tunguska (Siberia) and on the moon.

Gimmicks like the Free Love Gun, which gives NPCs in a trance and dance in a color rush, or the ability to lay entire blocks in rubble and ash with a UFO and are also very well looked back thanks to graphic optimizations.

Also Cryptos remaining weapons arsenal, with which he complies with the request in the game title, is identical to a few changes to the original. The developers satisfied the feedback of the community. For example, the effect of the already mentioned free Love weapon was attenuated, as many players held them overpowering.

In terms of humor, there is no experiments. Already in the trailer, the finest boomer humor is served, which serves all common clichés. The hippie scene San Franciscos consists of accessed ecos with impotent revoluzer fantasies, Russians are coarse-slipped proletary or coarse-sliding KGB agents and Japan s culture consists of Ninjas and Godzilla. But fans of the original are likely to be more pleased above that. At least one can not accuse the developers to have modernized the spirit of the original.

Outcast 2

With Outcast 2, a continuation of the 90s Action classic was announced from Appeal Games. Publisher THQ Nordic brings Hero Cutter Slade back to the planet Adelpha and literally after 20 years. Namely, the last two decades overslept and now has to be able to find out in a fully changed world that is threatened by a new alien power. Similar to Elex or Anthem, Slade now has a jetpack that the gameplay should make a lot of vertical. However, the basic mixture of missions, puzzles and fighting should be maintained.

Whether Manfred Lehmann will return to the main character as a German spokesman, so far is still unclear, but the self-directed sound of the original should be maintained in any case. THW Nordic Showcase: All information about the announced top titles (4) Source: THQ Nordic
