![]() ![]() D4 is even confirmed canon to this universe. A port with additional content might work wonders here but who honestly trusts TyoBox after the many disasters they unleashed till now? PS: Let´s make D5 a thing Swery. Playing as FBI detective Aaliyah Davis, you're tasked with interviewing Morgan about one of his old murder cases, a story not too dissimilar to the events of the first game. Those skating controls are as bad as the fps on the board for example. Where the original Deadly Premonition begins with protagonist FBI agent Francis York Morgan confronting supernatural enemies in a nightmarish world, DP2 starts off more slowly. I give DP 2 a 6.0/10 due to the abysmal technical state with room for a 6.5 if extensive patches come. The good news is that the game ends in a way that the "franchise" can continue and hopefully learn from all of this. The game even has a hard point of no return in a game that highly relies on half baked side content. The plot is even noticeably less engaging that than DP "Origins" but still enjoyable. The accidental transphobia is problematic, the story feels like cutscenes are missing (the finale to act 3 is the main culprit) and the game´s overall mystery plot doesn´t feel solved in the same way it was in the original. Was this game worth the decade wait? Not fully. It´s as if this game truly came out in 2005. That´s how cryptic it can be without a guide once you start the side-quests. Don´t be surprised if you end up taking notes with this game. The full experience involves the somehow downgraded gameplay and not just the story. The human eye just can´t see at 30 frames. Only the original 360 version of game 1 is semi-coherent as a product in your hands when compared to the on paper "improved" ports. Patches won´t save the even more extreme technical mess fully but they can´t hurt. The again bleak story mostly works on the other hand, the music is legit good this time, the VAs give it their all, the setting(s) rock, etc. No lessons were learned, the tech is even more busted, the controls are N64 bad, etc. As in smashing against a wall at full speed. It´s another smash hit like the original.
