In Deadly Premonitions 2, this is entirely dropped in favor of you essentially clicking from clue to clue.Īctual sleuthing has never been a big part of this series, but it’s lack here definitely makes the game less interesting.Īs you progress through the 20+ hours of storyline, you’ll get short sequences where you get to fight monsters. You could knock down bird nests for example, to find some new clues. In the original Deadly Premonition game, players had at least some opportunity to help out in the search for clues. The good news is that while the game is still just as terrible on Switch, the PC version merely makes you wait forever on loading screens instead of glitching you across the whole map. The game often does a little skipping of its own when you don’t plan on it, making the games very difficult to play.

The frame rate issues are also noticeable when you try to play mini-games like stone skipping. Inside of a building is okay, but walking around takes forever and can be a very jarring experience. The worst part is the frame rates that regularly cause stuttering and make all the mini-games unpleasant to play. The worst part of the game isn’t the graphics, or the weird plot, or well-the everything else.

Backgrounds have little to no detail in them, and reflections are also poorly rendered shadows of what they ought to be. Unfortunately, these details are overwhelmed by the utter lack of detail in everything else. There’s some hints that the graphics are possibly intended to be this way-there’s some cel shading and other minor details that are nice.

Even with that in mind however, the graphics look even more dated then intended. It’s very likely that the graphics are poorly done on purpose, to help give you that early 2000’s vibe while playing. During the game you’ll play Francis York Morgan, the quirky detective trying to solve crimes and stay alive in this incredibly strange world. In Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing In Disguise, you’ll not only be trying to solve a mystery, but also deal with some paranormals that want you dead.ĭeadly Premonition 2 is likely to be the weirdest game you have ever played. A good, blood-chilling mystery is a wonderful way to pass the time.
