| ninkendo 07/08/20 9:27:13 AM #10 | In the end, a traditional review may be rather pointless, since the Deadly Premonition games operate on the same level as a film such as The Return of Captain Invincible (possibly the lone cult '80s film that York shockingly doesn't reference): something that operates on a completely different plane of reality than the rest of us, one where the mere notions of "good" and "bad" don't really apply. --- |

| ninkendo 07/08/20 9:22:56 AM #9 | anyway here we go with some snippets Dualshockers - 9/10 Deadly Premonition 2 just wants to tell its story, tell it well, and be its own weird, little self. Your ability to either live with that or not will determine how deeply you fall in love with the citizens of Le Carre. God is Geek - 8.5/10 A worthy sequel to the 2010 cult classic, Deadly Premonition 2 retains the series trademark charm with its oddball characters and outlandish story. The open world frame-rate isn't good enough, but if you can overlook that there's plenty of intrigue and laughs to be found in Le Carre. Destructoid - 8/10 How many times can you say that you hexed an old widow so that you could go bowling in the past...oh say decade or so?" Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise is another trip. You've been warned. NintendoLife - 7/10 Veterans of the first game wont be expecting a technical tour-de-force, but Deadly Premonition 2 still manages to underwhelm in pure performance terms. However (and this is a big however), it's a game with real character and it's very tough to dislike, even as you stutter your way around Le Carr on your skateboard. If you've ever been intrigued by the original, we'd recommend giving this a go. Its janky and derivative, yes, but its also irresistibly wonderful and strange, and there's no other video game quite like it. IGN - 5/10 Deadly Premonition 2 isnt good, nor is it so bad that its good (like its predecessor). Its something much, much worse: its mediocre. And thats too bad. Im certainly grateful for the chance to spend some more time with the eccentric and ever enthusiastic Francis York Morgan, because he remains one of the funniest and most unique lead characters in all of gaming. But I found myself less tolerant of Deadly Premonition 2s technical issues and half-baked combat this time around, and its central mystery is ridiculous without ever going far enough off the rails to be truly surprising or memorable. Game Informer - 5/10 Its bound to be another polarizing title, which ultimately shouldnt come as a big surprise. I just wish I could have counted myself among its defenders this time. Gamespot - 5/10 If you can get past its performance, there are glimpses of a good story here, and moments that make it a worthy installment in the Francis Zach Morgan saga. But, ultimately, Deadly Premonition 2 lacks the emotional resonance found in the first game. It's a different brew of coffee from your favorite roaster, but one that's more bitter than you probably hoped for. USGamer - 2/10 Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing In Disguise is hard to love, even by the standards set by its predecessor. In leaving Greenvale behind for a style of prequel and sequel storytelling split across Louisiana and Boston, Deadly Premonition 2 jettisons the much of what made the original charming (along with some interesting mechanics and variety) in favor of an empty town and a story that serves up tropes and bits of lore that do little to enhance or build upon what made the original fascinating. All the while, terrible performance makes it more of a slog than its uninspired ideas and pacing do on their own. --- |

| ninkendo 07/08/20 9:12:21 AM #6 | Im going to tell you something that I cant easily explain: When I advance the quest, Im having fun. I barely know why, in the same way that its difficult to explain why paying off a mortgage in Animal Crossing is fun. It makes little sense in the abstract, but Im willing to put up with the mountains of horseshit the assault to my eyes, a side quest that wants me to find a literal single grain of rice sitting somewhere in an entire open-world city without a hint or clue (and I did!), everybodys interminable yammering monologues just to see whats next because everything exists for the purpose of constructing the weirdest world possible. And Swery isnt afraid to get really weird, which is a powerful motivational tool for me to keep going to see where his mind goes next. --- |

| ninkendo 07/08/20 9:06:33 AM #5 | I have plenty of time to think about what Im seeing and doing, in fact, which is good in a game where the sense of place and imagery is so important. The game doesnt play itself, but Im often a passenger about to be shown some very, very weird shit. There are, as far as I can tell, two possibilities: Either Deadly Premonition 2 is a disaster of a game from a team that cant credibly develop anything which we know at this point cant be true, unless this is gamings first case of outside art going mainstream or its an elaborate ruse designed to drive me mad. oh ya these are the reviews I'm looking for really the entire Polygon review is incredible story of someone losing their mind playing this game https://www.polygon.com/reviews/2020/7/8/21316347/deadly-premonition-2-review-switch --- |

| ninkendo 07/08/20 1:05:54 AM #1 | They're not quite here yet but they should be hitting sometime overnight or early in the morning. Here's a post from resetera from someone who is talked to reviewers playing the game https://www.resetera.com/threads/deadly-premonition-2-a-blessing-in-disguise-review-thread.243031/page-4 I've talked with a couple who are reviewing it and a couple who are playing it who got it early (all who thankfully didn't spoil me on stuff, I just am curious as excited). -The combat is a BIT better, it's still pretty standard but the actual levels are designed a bit better, there's a bit more mechanically going on (in a good way), there's no really annoying enemies like the crawlers in the first game. Nothing to write home about, but servicable and a slight improvement. There's some areas some may see as positive or negative though: I have heard the game length is comparable to the first, main story is a bit shorter (but not by much, and a big reason it's shorter may simply be because the time you spend in the town is shorter because it's more condensed), and there's a lot of extra content that can easily add a lot more to play time. It sounds like people who like Deadly Premonition will like the sequel, maybe even love it, and there is improvements... Buuuuuut it's very much Deadly Premonition, the tech problems definitely will affect the score, and even though there's improvements, there's not a whole lot in earnest, so how a very similar game will be received a decade later? We'll find out I guess. Of course, fans of the original probably just want another game like Deadly Premonition with a few improvements, so that may not be a problem for people interested in this anyways and might actually be a good thing. Curious what I'll end up thinking and where reviews will land on this one (probably all over the place but skewed a bit worse due to the frame rate/crashing problems the game has), but hearing these four other people's non-spoiler opinions has been fun. --- |

| ninkendo 07/07/20 12:50:55 PM #454 | it's definitely a significant step up mostly thanks to no items allowed and only being able to heal in battle. I think it can be mitigated a bit by leveling up Aerith's Prayer materia. Just finishing Hard shouldn't be too bad outside of the final 2 chapters. You'll need extra preparation if you're looking to 100% and doing the hard mode exclusive arena fights. --- |
