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. The reason are 2 different publishers for physical / digital.THE FOLLOWING REVIEW IS SPOILER FREE. Also apparently the physical version doesn't get patches, while the digital version does. I've also heard that the digital and physical versions of DP1 are separate, so savegames do not carry over.
My Switch version of DP1 crashed about 3-4 times during 1 playthrough, while DP2 hasn't crashed at all. Unless you got the PC version fixed, their ranking was I saw a video of someone comparing all DP1 versions.
I'll definitely play through it a 2nd time
Overall I am happy with the game and how it fits into the overall story. Also, I was disappointed that I could not look through windows and stalk people. Gameplay wise the framerate was no issue for me, but a few side quests felt dull, especially since the rewards are forgettable. Story wise there are a few unanswered questions I would've liked to be solved, but overall the characters are quite good and the main cast was believable to me. I will not get into details, but you can see that the cases of DP1 and 2 really changed Zach. I really liked how DP1 and 2 were connected. I had my first playthrough today and was emotionally touched at the end.
