It inherits many of the technical flaws of its now decade-old predecessor, but its story never manages to disturb or captivate to quite the same extent, making for a much more forgettable follow-up.Director Hidetaka ‘Swery’ Suehiro has apparently shelved his Twin Peaks box set in favour of binge-watching season one of True Detective, because Deadly Premonition 2’s story structure is highly reminiscent of that of the HBO series flitting back and forth between a videotaped interrogation with Francis “Zach” Morgan in 2019, and his 2005 investigation of a series of murders as his split-personality counterpart Francis “York” Morgan in the fictional deep south small town of Le Carré. Sadly its sequel, Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise, does not enjoy that same saving grace. It's a different brew of coffee from your favorite roaster, but one that's more bitter than you probably hoped for.The original cult classic Deadly Premonition featured terrible combat, graphics that were dated on arrival in 2010, and an erratic audio mix that rendered much of its dialogue unintelligible, but it was easy to look past or even embrace its low-budget shortcomings because its eccentric cast of characters and utterly bonkers story was like no other game that many of us had ever played. "But, ultimately, Deadly Premonition 2 lacks the emotional resonance found in the first game. "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," Kurt Indovina wrote in GameSpot's Deadly Premonition 2 review. It received a mixed reception on GameSpot sister site Metacritic with a 56 as its current metascore. And while it was the long-awaited follow-up to a cult classic, the reception was less than glowing. You can check out the very modest system specs below.ĭeadly Premonition 2 launched on Nintendo Switch almost a year ago, in July 2021. Those include unspecified higher resolutions and performance improvements, in addition to faster loading times.
The Steam announcement does note that this version includes technical improvements. The Switch version had notoriously poor performance and it remains to be seen if this PC port (or future updates and mods) will iron it out.
