I’ve played Deadly Premonition more times than I can care to remember.
A mysterious serial murder occurs in Greenvale, a small town in North America surrounded by a beautiful nature. FBI agent York sets out with his "friend" Zach to face the case. Spend time with the town-people, soak your self into the nature and truth will gradually become clear. When you finally get to the truth, you'll find yourself difficult to leave Greenvale.

Deadly Premonition Origins (Switch) Review
I have to warn you: I’m very particular about my coffee.
65%Deadly Premonition Origins Review
A shoddy port of an already poorly built game, Deadly Premonition Origins isn't a definitive re-release that fixes its source's many issues - but it's still worth playing in full. Deadly Premonition isn't so bad it's good, it's just a messy product with an ugly coat of paint. Underneath that mess, however, is one of the most passionate and ambitious titles of the 2010s. Combat is nothing to write home about, and the controls will take some getting used to, but the story is masterfully told, Greenvale is one of the best open worlds in the medium, and the commitment to realism makes the mysterious serial killings at the centre of the plot stand out all the more viscerally. Every technical issue is worth the hassle, because no other game offers a world as alive or as charming with as much conceptual depth. Deadly Premonition is nothing short of brilliant.

Deadly Premonition Origins is chock-full of major issues that in any other series would be reason enough to be cautious of its upcoming sequel. Despite this, the characters and the world of Greenvale are more than enough to make you forgive its fundamental technical flaws, as you can’t help but fall for an absurdly fun narrative and a protagonist that keeps you invested throughout. You may play the game and utterly hate it, but we'd advise you at least give it a chance. It's such a strange and captivating experience that we wager many of you will become lifelong fans regardless of its myriad problems.
