Deal | New all-time low: Steam sale brings open-world survival game down to just $1.99

Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise, a survival horror game that originally launched on the Nintendo Switch, is now enjoying a massive discount on Steam. Thanks to this limited-time sale, it has dropped to $1.99, which is 95% off from the original $39.99 tag.

Directed by Hidetaka Suehiro, Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise serves as both a prequel and a sequel to the classic entry from 2010. It's set in two different timelines, one being the fictional town of Le Carré from 2005 and the other being present-day Boston.

The game that's on sale alternates between novel-style interrogation segments in Boston and open-world investigation segments in Le Carré. The latter is full of time-sensitive events, which are reminiscent of the original game's structure. Players can also take part in mini-games and optional cases when exploring the open-world map of Le Carré.

Story-wise, Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise has surreal elements, including alternate realities and supernatural entities. The game explores different themes, such as guilt, trauma, and the cyclical nature of evil, as the players uncover a web of family secrets and ritualistic killings.

When it comes to the game's combat, it can be categorized as a third-person shooter. Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise is also known for its richly detailed open-world setting in Le Carré and the surreal humor that blends with mystery and horror.

Currently, Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise has a "Mostly Positive" rating, and it has the Steam Deck Verified compatibility rating. It's also worth noting that the game requires a controller, as there's no support for mouse and keyboard (EasySMX X20 curr. $49.79 on Amazon). You can learn more from the video attached below.
