Deadly Premonition 2 tracks stats on a level you can constantly see and a few on a hidden level.
You can’t just go throughout your day doing everything without a care in the world, a man needs to eat, take care of his image, sleep for over ten hours if he pleases. Everything feels deliberate, which is very much in line with the rest of the game. If there was a single quirk, it’d be that turning on your skateboard…turns like how a skateboard would in reality, not on the spot. Controlling your skateboard feels easy enough and moves much faster than walking or even running around, even taking less stamina, if any at all. Due to circumstances that won’t be discussed in the review, you aren’t given the privilege of just driving everywhere, you however take your handy dandy skateboard to get where you need to go, whether it be to stores, bars, a church, or even the police department. That isn’t to say the world isn’t rather large, if walked on foot, it would take quite a bit of time to get anywhere and you are expected to go across the the game’s main location La Carre and it’s immediate surroundings to do anything. What makes these comparisons more valid that perhaps on to the Grand Theft Auto series is that they all trade how vast and large a world can be for keeping it remotely dense with things to do. Very much in line with games like Shenmue or Yakuza series, Deadly Premonition 2 employs the use of an open city to travel around in during missions, sidequests, or even just messing around. 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.
