Critic Reviews for Earth Must Die
An inventive puzzler with rapid-fire gags that'll make you groan as much as guffaw.
The new point-and-click game brings a wacky world of alien dictatorship to the PC.
The gameplay itself and point-and-click puzzle mechanics can feel a bit finicky and frustrating at times in light of how much everything else shines so vividly, but that's still not enough to diminish the whimsical, nostalgic spark this game provides.
Thanks to a star-studded voice cast, Earth Must Die is a hilarious sci-fi romp that features plenty of laughs and crude jokes. And while its comedy won't land for everyone, its meticulous and clever design, and stunning cartoon visuals make it an early contender for adventure game of the year.
Hilarious and unabashedly silly, Earth Must Die is undoubtedly the best game yet from Size Five Games. Brilliantly written, beautifully animated and with an enviable voice cast, there's so much to love here if you're a fan of point-and-click adventure games.
The mechanics are easy to pick up, while the puzzles aren’t egregiously illogical. This is an experience best enjoyed in sessions of around two hours, or shorter if the puzzles become annoying. Earth Must Die is proof that decent writing paired with classic gameplay is still a good combination for modern adventure games.
This game doesn’t promise anything groundbreaking within the genre, but fans of classic LucasArts titles should definitely give it a shot, as Earth Must Die has its fair share of strong moments. If that weren’t enough, the outstanding, truly one-of-a-kind voice acting alone might be reason enough to try it out. That said, only take it for a spin once the issues have been fixed.

Earth Must Die is a daring, politically incorrect point-and-click adventure that revels in provocative British humor and controversial themes, delivering hours of shameless fun and satire that prioritizes laughter and boldness over polish or sensitivity.
