Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise

"Everything about your quest feels dragged out to mask how little substance there is to Blessing in Disguise."

"An adventure that, like the original, you won&s;t know if it&s;s a joke. You&s;ll love it, or hate it. Unpolish, rough around edges... but still an adventure unique on its own ways. If you connect with it, you&s;ll enjoy it …"

"Deadly Premonition 2 is a hard game to pin down, being both a mess and wonderful at the same time."

"Deadly Premonition 2 is a real hymn to the atavistic principle that "graphics are not everything". Stopping at the disastrous technical sector of the game could deprive you of a very interesting experience, especially if you loved the first chapter. …"

"Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise wants to revel and self-praise its own absurdist nature, but at the end of the day the actual game attached to all the strange dialogue, mechanics and gameplay is painfully frustrating."

"It&s;s a weird game to review because so many people are going to expect drastically different things. How many games force you to shave and send your clothes up for dry cleaning? How many times can you say that you …"

"Deadly Premonition 2 on PC features some improvements to the Switch version, but a fair few issues are still present."

"Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise is charmingly awful and will stand out as a morbid curiosity among the pantheon of Nintendo Switch exclusives. As a sequel, it stays true to the original by accidentally inheriting its almost exact …"

"Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise is somehow much, much worse than the original. The game looks and feels awful, with an unacceptable framerate and PlayStation 1 level textures. While the story is great, it&s;s brought down by even …"

"While Deadly Premonition 2 suffers from technical shortcomings, the oddball characters, endearing dialogue, disturbing atmosphere, and emotional rollercoaster-like story are where its artistic elements shine through the brightest. Simply put: If you&s;re a fan of the original, you&s;ll love this."

"The arrival of Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise on PC is designed to offer lovers of the first chapter the opportunity to take on the role of Francis York Morgan for the second time, thus experiencing his singular …"

"Veterans of the first game won&s;t be expecting a technical tour-de-force, but Deadly Premonition 2 still manages to underwhelm in pure performance terms. However (and this is a big however), it&s;s a game with real character and it&s;s very tough …"

"For all the game’s self-references to its own B-movie filter, at times the tropes are presented with such eagerness that it becomes difficult to take York’s observations in good faith."

"Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise is a transcendant pile of garbage. It&s;s both strikingly ambitious and laughably imcompetent in every regard, which is somewhat fitting given the iconic status of its predecessor. But all the campy brilliance aside, …"

"Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing In Disguise is an earnest attempt to conclude the story told in the original game ten years ago. It’s engaging, the characters are a joy to observe, and the trademark zaniness is as intact as …"

"A diamond in the rough which rightfully will deter some gamers. Fans of the original will not be disappointed with a trip to Le Carre whereas newcomers may feel like the game is not only set in 2005, but created …"

"Revisiting Deadly Premonition&s;s unique sensibility is fun, but aggressively poor production values and shallow gameplay make it tough to stick around"

"Deadly Premonition 2 : A Blessing In Disguise is a sequel for to the fans of the first game and them only. They endure the toughness of this episode to discover the true story behind it."

"In the end, a traditional review may be rather pointless, since the Deadly Premonition games operate on the same level as a film such as The Return of Captain Invincible (possibly the lone cult &s;80s film that York shockingly doesn&s;t …"

"Though it’s about as far from a technical masterpiece as you can get in 2020, it has more style and heart than most of the AAA experiences on the market right now, with genuine laugh-out-loud moments."

"A worthy sequel to the 2010 cult classic, Deadly Premonition 2 retains the series trademark charm with its oddball characters and outlandish story. The open world frame-rate isn&s;t good enough, but if you can overlook that there&s;s plenty of intrigue …"

"A characterful, frequently charming sequel that doesn&s;t quite match up to the original - and somehow performs worse."

"Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise is as bonkers as you&s;d expect and fans will no doubt enjoy catching up with Agent York, but a lack of atmosphere, dull action, serious technical issues, and the creeping sense that Swery …"

"A case better left unsolved."

"Fans of the original will still enjoy this outing, albeit probably not quite as much. Everyone else is best advised to stay away."

"Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise is messy, bizarre, and ultimately exactly what it needs to be: A great sequel to a cult classic."

"Dear developers, you can’t treat us like this. Deadly Premonition 2 has a great story with excellent characters that are held back by an abysmally bad technical side. Fans will accept this and have fun. Everyone else will avoid DP2 …"

"Deadly Premonition 2 marks the return of Francis York Morgan and his brand of weirdness. He can also skateboard now. It&s;s rad."

"Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise is a bad game, is just not worth it. The title not only fails on a technical level, but commits the crime of being extremely and painfully boring."

"Deadly Premonition 2 is not Swery&s;s gaming maturity, but it is perhaps his consecration as a screenwriter, storyteller of the bizarre, creator of unforgettable characters. His ambition, however, clashes with the limited budget and, probably, with Toybox&s;s modest ability to …"

"Deadly Premonition 2 feels like a step forward from the first game. It still has the same quirky and unusual humour, but this sequel brings with it improved combat and better visuals. It&s;s a shame it&s;s held back by poor …"

"Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise isn&s;t so bad that it&s;s good, it&s;s just average and technically rough."

"Deadly Premonition 2 is a great follow up to a beloved cult classic. It has an intriguing story and eccentric quirks, but feels safer on the gameplay side of things."

"The sequel to Hidetaka "Swery65" Suehiro&s;s most memorable creation rests entirely on the same things that made the former a cult game. For better and for worse."
