Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise is a transcendant pile of garbage. It'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, it's difficult to overlook its monolithic performance problems and decrepit approach to game design.
The world and characters are delightfully charming and weird; Its central mystery is awash with compelling twists and turns ; Mechanically ambitious ; Nothing else like it;
Visuals and performance are incredibly rough and distracting; Representation of minority characters is oddly hurtful ; Combat is dull, easy and repetitive ;
