・GameGrin: 90/100 (PS5)

"Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered" faithfully recreates the original game while also incorporating several much-needed graphical improvements.

・Digital Chumps: 78/100 (PS5)

Atari’s *Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered* is a fun fighting game, but it doesn’t quite live up to its potential.While the frantic button-mashing can be exhilarating, some players may find the clunky controls frustrating. On the other hand, fans of kaiju will be thrilled to control their favorite monsters, beat each other to a pulp, and wreak havoc on cityscapes.

・GameWatcher: 75/100 (Nintendo Switch 2)

“Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered,” which arrived after we’d waited far too long for a new installment in this highly anticipated kaiju franchise, has brilliantly revived the original’s glory. However, its commitment to fidelity has left some rough edges, and new issues have been added to the mix.

・Siliconera: 70/100 (Nintendo Switch 2)

*Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered* remains a silly yet fun game, and Atari’s remaster looks and runs well.

・IGN: 70/100 (Nintendo Switch 2)

・GameSpot: 70/100 (Nintendo Switch 2)

・GameSpew: 70/100 (PS5)

*Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered* significantly revamps the graphics of this cult classic and includes several other meaningful tweaks. The result is an enjoyable fighting game, though the combat feels a bit clunky at times, and the need for repeated playthroughs to unlock all the game’s content holds it back.

・Nintendo Life: 70/100 (Nintendo Switch 2)

*Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered* is a satisfying and faithful remaster of a monster fighting game with a devoted following. It’s simple and fun, and thanks to local and online multiplayer, it offers plenty of long-term replay value. However, the single-player content is extremely sparse.If only remasters of *Godzilla: Kaiju Brawl—Earth’s Final Battle* and *Godzilla: Unleashed* were also released, there would be nothing left to ask for.

・Nintendo News PL: 65/100 (Nintendo Switch 2)

*Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered* is a fighting game with old-school charm. It prioritizes chaotic brawls, city-level destruction, and having fun with friends over a complex combat system.While this remaster breathes new life into a cult classic, the game’s age and mechanical limitations are just as evident today as they were over 20 years ago.


We’ve compiled the international Metacritic reviews for *Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered*, which was released on November 3, 2026, for PC (Steam), PS5, and Xbox Series X|S (the Nintendo Switch 2 version is scheduled for release on November 5).As of this writing, the Metascores were 72 for the PC version (5 reviews), 75 for the PS5 version (9 reviews), and 73 for the Nintendo Switch 2 version (8 reviews) (the Xbox Series X version did not meet the minimum review count and therefore could not be rated).
