The marketing for A Blessing In Disguise bills it as both a prequel and sequel to the first – I think this description is a little bit overly fluffy. Expect a whole of contradiction and confusion up ahead, folks.Ī warning before we proceed – this review contains heavy, end of game plot spoilers for Deadly Premonition about the identity of specific characters, so if you want to enjoy that to the fullest… don’t read on, and definitely don’t play Deadly Premonition 2 first as literally the opening line will ruin it for you. It saw enough success and enough love though to spawn a half dozen ports and now, a Switch exclusive sequel, which stays very very true to the Deadly Premonition vibe – and throws a huge spanner into the debate on what makes a video game “good”. Or, depending on who you ask, a mess that was exactly the sum of its parts.
Deadly Premonition developed a cult following around its mysterious construction: a whole lot of strange, incomprehensible design decisions pulling together into a game that ended up as more than the sum of its parts. Those familiar with the 2010 original will know what I mean. It feels odd to “review” Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing In Disguise.
