In a shock cameo on the Future Recreation Present, Lethal Premonition creator Swery65 introduced the speedy launch of Lethal Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise (opens in new tab) on Steam, bringing the sport to PC from Nintendo Swap for the primary time.
Greater than a decade in the past, Lethal Premonition requested the query, “What if we took Shenmue and blended it with Twin Peaks?” The outcome was janky, surreal, and unforgettable. Its previously Swap-exclusive sequel upped the ante, presenting the conundrum, “What if we took Shenmue and blended it with True Detective?”
This newest surreal distillation of the final status cop present Swery65 watched is a simultaneous prequel and sequel to the unique sport, adopting the framing sequence of a washed up, modern-day Agent Morgan recalling the case he took simply previous to the occasions of Lethal Premonition 1 within the late 2000s. You would virtually have a look at this as Lethal Premonition’s personal Fireplace Stroll With Me.
We’ll need to see if getting unshackled from the Swap’s puny Tegra X1 processor is sufficient to remedy Lethal Premonition 2 of its efficiency woes, however I can already affirm that, stylistically at the least, it is a worthy successor to the primary sport’s goofy, creepy homicide thriller. In the event you share the identical mind illness that makes me love these video games and haven’t got a Nintendo Swap, Lethal Premonition 2 for PC is at the moment on sale for $28 (opens in new tab), 30% off.
