There are incredible moments worth experiencing, all of which are held together by the game's protagonist, Francis York Morgan. Its sequel, Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing In Disguise, follows suit however, though the return of the original's off-kilter writing, outlandish characters, and disturbing twists is an exciting prospect, it all feels diluted this time around, missing many of the flavor notes that defined its predecessor.

It's a different brew of coffee from your favorite roaster, but one that's more bitter than you probably hoped for.Warning: This review contains spoilers for the first Deadly Premonition.
