Deadly Premonition Origins - Nintendo Switch Standard Edition

this game is a very underrated cult classic survival horror from the legacy gaming era of ps3 an 360, the pc got a very sloppy port on steam, this port is just about flawless, only downside is it appears to be missing higher difficulty settings from the original release.You play as fbi investigator Francis York Morgan, or "York" who constantly seeks advice from the man inside his head named "zach" during a murder mystery involving a serial killer, what was assumed to be a boring trip to a small village turns into a supernatural thriller with goofy elements here an there as the character in the game have very...odd personality, not to mention the "Sinner Sandwich", yeah, theres that too...The game has several side quests that are completely optional, but unlock several vehicles, weapons, and story elements, the combat is a cross between resident evil 4 and silent hill from the ps2 days. the game possess survival elements oddly enough such as needing to eat an sleep an maintain hygiene, which neglecting these needs too long will affect the player an npc reactions in conversations such as swatting flies away or covering their noses, watching the detective grow a beard as time goes by is definitely pretty interesting nonetheless.Another interesting tidbit is the method of travel which is primarily by car(unless you want to walk the entire way) You have to maintain the cars fuel, an vehicles do take damage, you do have turn signals but they are just for show, the head lights are about the same, the windshield wipers are useful if driving in first person as they made it to where the windshield with fog up with rain, oddly enough the rear view mirror does not reflect anything in first-person driving mode.whenever it rains outside enemies spawn endlessly as the sky turn s an eerie red, giving the player a need to seek shelter as soon as possible, I think this could've been improved upon by the devs a bit, such as making more enemies spawn in locations then ten at a time, which once you learn their movements the enemies are easy to get past, I would hope if there ever was a remaster of this game the devs would make the enemy more aggressive, there are certain parts of the game where I can easily run past everything, or just shoot them all from a distance without moving.The game does have a pursuer, much like re3 nemesis, there is a ghostly axe murderer constantly searching for you whenever you enter limbo. the chase seens are very button mashy, this is where the resident combat comes into display as it seems like the devs really enjoyed re4 at these moments in the game.The boss battles are oddly amazing, when I say oddly I mean misleadingly good, I was taken by surprise when these boss battle happen they have a completely different atmosphere to the rest of the game and are very memorable."Spoilers ahead"the games story is pretty solid, the town of Greenvale was subject to the gas from the film the crazies by George Romero, which was released by a demon(yes I know)posing as a US Army NCO... the gas is let loose, everyone murders each other, there blood spoils the ground to the point that the land is haunted by their enraged spirits, and thats pretty much the explanation for the enemies, York on the other hand learns that the killer he'd been searching for this entire time happens to be this demon who is also responsible for the existence of Zach inside Yorks mind(yeah turns out Zach is real). Thats the best way I can explain the games lore without spoiling everything else in the title.This is in no way a perfect title, but it is most definitely a great title..one I recommend any switch owner add to their collection...

Love this game.

Deadly premonition is very much the Vegemite of video games. You either love it or hate it. The original version for Xbox 360 is probably the best version of the game, both stability-wise and Gameplay Difficulty wise, but having this game on the go is just so much fun. It will run at a solid 30 fps most of the time with dips mostly occurring during the driving sections.

Do you like Resident Evil, Silent Hill or any of the survival Horror games? If so then Deadly premonition is probably the best switch title that you've likely never even heard of before. The game controls well and gets started very quickly and is very fun to pick up and play. It has that japanese horror feel - so its a little funny 😆 but stuff gets real very quickly. I love the game and think it was an excellent pickup. If you are looking for a survival horror game and want to try something new - look no further.

What can I sayFrame rate 4/10Combat 4/10Horror 7/10Cut scenes 10000/10Acting 100000/10Worth a play absolutely

This is a unique, novel game that on a technical level fails to meet the standard of quality from the PS2 era. But the setting, atmosphere, and feeling you get playing this game are what it is all about.

So far a good game, I’ve never played the original but the frame rate can be awkward or jarring at times... but if you’re playing this game then you’re probably playing it for the story more than anything

That's really all you need to know.
