Deadly Premonition 2

To say that Deadly Premonition isn’t for everyone would be an understatement, but Deadly Premonition 2 is especially difficult to recommend. It doesn’t look great, which is to be expected (though the awful performance on Nintendo Switch is disappointing). For a game like this that provides more freedom and stuff to do, from Bayou Rides and Bowling to skateboarding, the town of Le Carré has nothing especially remarkable going for it, feeling lifeless most of the time. The presence of boring fetch quests and fillers only adds to the doldrums. Even for the most dedicated fan of the first game, Deadly Premonition 2 doesn’t rise above the rabble.
