What if the gameplay was improved too much, or the music didn’t play loudly over the voices? I’ve never been so worried about a game being good.ĭeadly Premonition 2 is both a prequel and sequel to 2010 cult classic, and once again you’ll be playing as Special Agent Francis York Morgan solving murder mysteries in a small rural town. I wouldn’t change a thing about that glorious mess of a game, but the prospect of a sequel was concerning.
Alongside these baffling design decisions was a story beyond absurd, yet incredibly captivating – packed full of murder, red trees and coffee. Inappropriate music would drown out the cutscenes, objects were wildly out of proportion, and hours of the game were spent orienteering around the map with nothing but movie facts to accompany you. SWERY and company managed to create what I’d call the first game that’s “so bad it’s good”. The outlandish horror game is one of my all time favourites, despite a list of “flaws” as long as my arm.
Explaining the appeal of Deadly Premonition to someone who didn’t play the first game (or worse, didn’t like it) is no small task.
