Earth Must Die Reviews
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.
Earth Must Die is a British-made sci-fi adventure about an alien emperor, an inconvenient human invasion, and a whole lot of bad decisions. It’s rude, sarcastic, and filled with smart puzzles — even if it never quite reaches genre-defining heights.
A relentless, metal-driven arena shooter that thrives on speed, skill, and controlled chaos.
Earth Must Die is a clever, genuinely funny, and visually striking adventure that brings a modern twist to the point-and-click adventure genre. Its wonderful writing and excellent voice cast ensure every joke hits, whilst it brings with it enough unique (and utterly bizarre) moments to ensure that it’ll stay in your head long after you finish. It’s not too tough and it does have some fiddly moments here and there with the controls, but Earth Must Die stands out as an excellent adventure that both long-time fans of the genre and complete newbies are sure to enjoy.
Earth Must Die offers a weird, funny point-and-click adventure worth experiencing. A stellar voice cast shines, but some frustration with puzzles and load times may lead to you wanting to enjoy this game in shifts rather than in one shot.
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 graphic adventure with a very distinctive personality that doesn't try to please everyone. You'll like it if you enjoy British humor, political satire, and adventures where dialogue and manipulation take precedence over classic puzzles, and if you don't mind playing in English in an experience heavily reliant on witty banter and double entendres. It's stable, expressive, and consistent with its premise, although its exaggerated tone and uneven pacing might not suit those looking for something more traditional or accessible.

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.
