Very much in line with games like Shenmue or Yakuza series, Deadly Premonition 2 employs the use of an open city to travel around in during missions, sidequests, or even just messing around. Deadly Premonition 2 presents itself almost in a way that reminds me of a game released in 2019, Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes, which coincidentally the developer White Owls also worked on. In every positive way to say it, DP2 feels like a game from an earlier console generation, modern advancements be damned. Even with a large number of technical issues, I’m left not caring because of how much character and charm the game has. DP2 has an unstable framerate, it has awkward animations, tremendously long load times, and the audio mixing often places sound effects over dialogue.

I’ve always valued if a game feels like it had love and care put into it, regardless of the product’s finished quality. ONLY ELEMENTS FOUND IN THE FIRST EPISODE WILL BE COVERED.ĭeadly Premonition 2 is one of the most refreshing games I’ve played in years.

If you’re a fan of Deadly Premonition, you should definitely give the sequel a look.īut what say you? Will you be checking out Deadly Premonition 2 when it launches on PC later this year? Or are you going to give it a hard pass? Sip your coffee in the usual place below and let us know.THE FOLLOWING REVIEW IS SPOILER FREE. Long story short: the cast of oddball characters, eerie atmosphere and endearing dialogue helped re-capture the magic of the original title. While the Nintendo Switch follow-up was beleaguered by technical problems, there was still a lot to love about York’s new adventure.

It’s up to everyone’s favorite movie-obsessed FBI criminal profiler, Francis York Morgan, to get to the bottom of yet another sinister plot. Indeed, Swery65 and his creative team are back for yet another bonkers installment, and yes, another insane serial killer is on the loose yet again. Story-wise, Deadly Premonition 2 is a pseudo sequel-prequel to the original cult classic, and takes place in New Orleans’ small town of Le Carré.
