10 Video Games With Totally Unique Combat
8. Destroy All Humans
A game that revels in overblown physics-abusing powers like nothing else, cult classic Destroy All Humans got a stellar remake in 2020, further letting you experiment with a range of alien weaponry from gravity rays to mind-control and everything in between.
Playing as one Cryptosporidium 137, you'll bust out psycho-kinesis to pick up enemies and vehicles with the power of your mind, lobbing them into targets or just causing wider chaos. You can pop enemies heads, appear as a human or take over human minds for distractions or puzzle solutions.
Next is being able to hop into your UFO whenever you feel like it, taking to the skies and using a tractor beam to weaponise even bigger items, bust out a building-levelling laser or trigger a sonic boom to clear some space.
Combined, nothing has quite matched Pandemic's take on open-world-meets-physics-based carnage, and there's a reason it's remained so beloved over the years.
