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. That sounds hyperbolic, but it’s damn true.It´s another smash hit like the original. Due in part to deliberate design, and thanks in part to accident, Deadly Premonition is responsible for more laughter in my house than any other videogame ever created. Above all, it’s an overwhelmingly entertaining, raucously funny game. What would fail in most games contributes flawlessly to the success of this one. To say it’s a rough game is to put it mildly, but it’s a roughness that exudes character. This is a clunky and convoluted game, but in such a way that it only adds to the overall shoddy charm. It starts as a bargain basement Resident Evil 4 knock-off, then suddenly turns into an open world populated by NPCs that run on daily schedules, offering time-sensitive sidequests that can reward players with anything from flamethrowers to magical dolls. If you’re one of these people, this is a game about an FBI agent tracking down mysterious red seeds found in murder cases, and comes to a Twin Peaks-inspired town to investigate. For those new to Greenvale, this is going to still be a treat, provided you’ve got a very open mind.
