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.
