The magic is largely gone, and it's a truth the game's mystery does little to obscure or excuse. Sadly, the sequel Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing In Disguise largely feels like the opposite of its subtitle. Ultimately, in spite of its many technical flaws and design oddities, its shameless cribbing of Twin Peaks combined with some unique touches of humor and melodrama resulted in something memorable. Lampooned by some upon its release, the budget survival horror title from the minds of director Hidetaka "Swery" Suehiro and co-writer Kenji Goda nonetheless managed to win over many players. I believe that's something that diehard fans of the original Deadly Premonition understand well. Unabashed enjoyment of something shouldn't be at odds with an unflinching assessment of its faults.
