the gameplay is not completely original but the story after the chapter 6 turns dark and really great. Just play the demo if you are not convinced.

Great shooter with nice mechanics. Not what people wanted but really a great game.

Deadly premonition is a game that emphasizes in the narrative. It has a quirky but nice story, moving quickly from serious moments to joking ones in seconds. It relies in a lot of cut scenes giving a feeling of playing a series like Twin peaks or anything related to that. It uses supernatural events in the story telling, not trying to be 100% real.

Gameplay:

The game is mostly a sandbox where you can do side missions and follow people in their normal lives.
You may drive cars, eat and sleep.

Establishments and people work at determined hours. Trying to get at a bar at the morning will be of no use neither going to the store at midnight. All the missions are for research purposes and they are linear. When in a mission at a place there are usually spirits/ghosts that roam around. It somewhat reminded me of Silent Hill. The villain usually haunts those places too and there are sequences hiding,
running and QTE.

Shooting is inspired in resident evil, where you stay in the same place shooting but this one is strange to handle with K+M. Melee items will break according to use but for combat they serve almost no purpose. If you are looking for a shooter/combat game this is not the place.

Item management is very bad; you cannot change items from the box to the inventory. Dropping items will simply disappear. You cannot sell items, only buy. Almost any action you do grants you money such as shaving, saving, driving long distances.

Time to finish: 24 hours
Around 15 in game playtime

Technical aspect:

The game has a lot of bugs. A really bad port. You will need to use guides in order to fix the bug but I will simply mention the ones I faced. For a general guide visit

First, the game failed to run. I needed the game to be Run as Administrator, add some files to the directories for mods and SweetFX in order to fix contrast. Driving a lot of time in the open (20 minutes I think) causes the game to crash, this is before the next bug; in a mission it failed and the game crashed, finding a guide led me to use CFF explorer and incremented the memory. Now it does not crash.

Support for controllers any than xbox 360 is nonexistent. Using x360ce is somewhat tricky but I could not get it to work so I simply used K+M.

Graphics are kinda bad (this game is from 2010 originally) and it was a budget game ($20 dlls on release). They look like the first games for the 7th generation (xbox 360, ps3) or late 6th generation (GCN, ps2), whatever you prefer. expressions for the characters are rendered manually and no motion capture was used.

Veredict:

3.6/5
Play t if you are willing to play for the story mor than the combat sequences,

Great short game. Good insight on how something small see our normal things as something spectacular.

The game is almost a console port. Some thigs look pretty nice but others very bad. It tries to be a COD + battlefield combination and in some parts succeeds and fails.
The story is kinda forgettable but not cliche.


The multiplayer is a very hostile place and you can get easily kicked out because mess it up.

2.8/5

Good strategy game like Eufloria where you select unicts and send them by percentages to a enemy base, Story is nice but how is told is kinda uninspired. The graphics are very nice and the multiplayer is completely dead.
10 hours to finish it.
8.5/10

Very scripted game I dd not feel very into the story and very excited because of that. Not too much consistent in the story bue the setting is very nice and strong. I have not be able to play multiplayer because there are not many server and withhigh ping to me,but it is as far as know like frontlines fuels of war (from the same developers) and battlefield.
The graphics are not very optimized and sometimes look nice.
The robot/machine goliath is very nice.
2.7/5

Great game. Is like borderlands with zombies and realistic. The leveling and quests systems is like borderlands (for comparison point).

The graphics sometimes are sluggish no matter what gpu you have because is not optimized (thanks consoles) like fog.

The game will take you to finish it around 20 hours.

The dlc ryder white is 2 hours long and it sums up and tells the story from another angle. some of the best story tells on a dlc.

4/5

A great game with nice ambience. The mechanics try to do the game very realistic. The actinv in any language (spanish, english, etc) is very well done.
There are some kinda decisions but they do not affect the gameplay, just the ending.
The game is demanding on the GPU but has beauty on the overall, because is almost everything natural.
Ran it with 9500GT ddr3 on medium 1280x1024
3.8/5
