Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing In Disguise - Nintendo Switch

This is not a triple A game. The fun in this game lies in how offbeat and weird it is. It's incredibly charming. The first one is heavily inspired by Twin Peaks and this one is just more of them same (which is a very good thing).The map/game world is smaller than in the first. Which is good for a sometimes portable game. The first game's map was big and empty. This one is smaller but more full.These are more complaints about the switch than the game itself: the framerate is bad. I've heard it was worse and it better now that it's been patched but it's still not great. And the joycons drifting all over the place make it very difficult to play. But that's Nintendo's fault - not DP2.I wish they'd port this to a more powerful system with a better framerate because it's a great game. Maybe a little short. I do hope they make part 3.Oh but you will be a little lost if you haven't played the first one. The first one is also available on switch so give it a try. Or if you're really not interested at least read up a quick plot summary of the first one - otherwise there's going to be some really strange aspects to the game that won't make much sense (and even knowing the story you'll still be left wondering what a lot of stuff was haha) but that's part of the charm of this game.

Exactly what I needed. Arrived in perfect condition and is exactly as I needed. Would be from again!

This game goes places that both indie and big budget game titles don't dare to. Swery65 is pushing the medium forward as an art form and the flaws of the game are proof that he's really clawing and bleeding to do so. It gets 5 stars for everything it does correctly, but unfortunately there are some rough edges that, intentional or not, still hurt. The overworld framerate was semi-fixed from launch but still isn't perfect. The game has a potential glitch that ends your ability to complete a main quest and I couldn't figure out how to get past the first couple attempts. It also crashed out of nowhere on me a couple of times just like the first game. These are obviously issues but they don't really bother me as much as the load times. The load times in this game are egregious, even worse than the first game and worse than a lot of titles from the playstation 2 era. And that's compounded by the number of loads you have to sit through; every time you switch between interiors and exteriors. It's so bad that they will actually increase your overall playtime by literal hours if you try to really explore. It's that time commitment that has made me hesitate to replay the game despite truly loving the story, characters, and overall feeling of the world. Swery seems pretty hardheaded on making what he wants to make, I don't blame him when he works in a crushing industry, but I hope he understands that some of these flaws really hurt because his games are so interesting and worth experiencing.

Love this game! I really enjoyed the first one when it came out, and couldn't wait for this one when it was announced a sequel was being released. I must stress that it does have it's quirks and framing issues, so it's imperative you do all the updates. However if you got through the first one just fine, then this games issues shouldn't be a problem.

Great condition and packaging. All is well with the world.

The framerate dips a lot

A++++++

If you want a rock solid frame rate or the highest Fidelity graphics and animation money can buy at this time deadly premonition 2 is not for you.If you however want a Bizarre B-movie of a game that's as fun and weird as watching the second and third Evil Dead movies (with only a slight dash of tedious side quests), then I highly recommend you take a trip into DePre2 and rejoin FBI special agent Francis York Morgan (and Zack) as they travel down to the low frame rate southern US town of Le Carre (the square) and tangle with the family who practically owns everything therein.The storyline that apes a few greats like true detective with a dash of surrealism and psudo lovecraftism you'll remember fondly if you played the original to completion. Hidetaka Suehiro makes good on his promises of adding a bike (or skateboard) and showering and compared to the original there is less horrible in model clipping that made York's closed eyes and smile so charmingly unnerving, and most characters are not wholly repugnant to look at, but Swery's budget Kojima like tendencies still shine all the same.Buy it if you're a fan of the original, and don't ask about Zack, that's a... private matter.

I did not have high hopes for this game going into it. Sequels are never as good as the originals; I was just happy Swery was giving us a sequel. I came out thoroughly pleased! I didn’t think I would care about any of the new characters the way I cared about the original cast, yet I found myself delighted and emotionally invested in their stories. I will say it starts out dry, but so did the first game. The shooting has improved and the Otherworld segments can feel tedious if you’re the type of player that likes to explore every nook and cranny like myself (by the end I didn’t bother to go back for items). Combat/enemies aren’t difficult; I guess Swery knows that most players are here for the story so he didn’t really try to make anything too challenging. My only complaint is that side missions don’t really advance the plot the way they did in the first game, and the rewards for them are disappointing. At the end of the day, it felt like I was experiencing the first game all over again, glitches and all! Highly recommend to fans of the original.

さすがの続編！！ただ前作の様なバトルが少ないのがなぁ…でもストーリーはさすがの面白さ

Again another Birthday gift for my youngest son. He will have hours and hrs of fun playing his Nintendo switch .Cuz he loves the challenge of a good game.He never trades them in. And has a large collection for all the different machines outThere.

バグが多く、話しかけなきゃいけないキャラが消えその影響でイベントが発生しない。ロードが長い、操作性が著しく悪いなどとにかく遊びづらいです。この出来だとストーリーだけ気になる人はYouTubeで見ればいいやとなってしまってもしょうがない気もします。

Came so quick! Was excited to get into round 2 of this cult classic !
