Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise

Probably the worst frame rate I have ever seen in an open world game, however I think it'll be patchable. The game runs really well inside most of the buildings. Outside of technical things, the writing is really top notch so far. The cast of characters are so quirky and fascinating. I'm stoked to finish this one and see where it goes.

This game was the most absurd and agonizing thing I ever played and only put 2 hours into it

I'm only past the freezer section and about to put the crocodile on Mrs. Carpenters lawn, but my expectations are succeeded. Why do fans dislike this again? I hear them say the characters are significantly worse, and sure, nothing can compare to the original games cast, but I love everything I'm seeing here from the QOL fixes, writing, humour, character dynamics, past/present storytelling, emphasis on being a detective, and so on. Does the game take a serious nosedive or something?

So is this actually worth playing? I adored the first game but ended up skipping out on this because it seemed like reactions were really mixed and I didn't want to shell out $50 for it if it was bad

The ending for this game is perfect ❤️ so optimistic

I really wanted to like this game, but I tried playing it twice and just found the way it plays pathetically bad compared to the original. What were they thinking?

I think it’s decent enough and 2.27 seems a little harsh average rating. Biggest problem is so much of the fun in the original was in the side quests which helped build character stories and get upgrades. But here the side quests are all pointless and add no character development and pointless upgrades as the game is already easy enough with the base weapon

not as good as the first but still extremely funny
