The WhatsNext verdict
For Players who enjoy goofy 1950s satire and playing a power-hungry alien who causes chaos on purpose.: You play an alien hitman harvesting human DNA, and the 1959 setting lets jokes about postwar America land in nearly every mission. Tradeoff: Combat and missions stay simpler than the satire suggests, so players who want deep systems may find it light.
