But there is a decent amount of playable content aside the main story progression (which alone is kinda short).
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
42 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
What elevates the story is the game’s commitment to tone: it never takes itself too seriously, instead leaning into absurdity with sharp, satirical writing that lampoons 1950s American culture, politics, and science fiction tropes with surprising precision.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
36 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The visuals are texture rich, pretty and the colours pop-up really well.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
31 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The ability to freely switch between grounded combat and aerial destruction in your UFO creates an engaging power fantasy that few games replicate.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The first boss fight is fun and not too difficult, but that 2nd boss fight is a massive upgrade & skill check.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The voice acting, especially Richard Steven Horvitz’s performance as Crypto, remains excellent, preserving the charm and comedic timing that defined the original.
