Deadly Premonition 2 - footage and video review round-up

The Switch exclusive sequel to the cult classic horror game has arrived! Is it a fine example of a sequel? Or is it too much in its own joke? Find out in our review of Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise!

Reviewed by Tristan Ogilvie on Nintendo Switch.

"Deadly Premonition 2 isn't good, nor is it so bad that it's good (like it's predecessor). It's something much, much worse: it's mediocre. And that's too bad. I'm certainly grateful for the chance to spend some more time with the eccentric and ever enthusiastic Francis York Morgan, because he remains one of the funniest and most unique lead characters in all of gaming. But I found myself less tolerant of Deadly Premonition 2's technical issues and half-baked combat this time around, and its central mystery is ridiculous without ever going far enough off the rails to be truly surprising or memorable."

That game you like is going to come back in style...

Watch the opening moments from the long awaited follow up to the cult classic, this is the first 18 minutes of Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise gameplay.

Gameplay of Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing In Disguise on Nintendo Switch (no commentary). Release date: July 10, 2020; Price: $49.99.

Though it eventually gets to the weirdo adventure the opening of Deadly Premonition 2 can be a bit of a slog and dialogue heavy as the game tries to get you caught up a bit.
