Sure it's bizarrely designed at points, clumsily handles a few topics, etc etc. I don't think those things take away from the overall experience all that much, if anything i wouldn't say this game would be "Deadly Premonition" without em.
Everyone says this game is just Twin Peaks, and rightfully so. But i also find it super interesting how it tries to be beyond that in the second half. It almost feels like it's trying to lead you into a false sense of security if you are familiar with the show, it tries to make you believe that everything will go exactly like it until it doesn't, and everything goes batshit insane! In a somewhat similar fashion but still distinctly different i feel.
There are genuinely some really heartfelt moments here, incredible character writing, a solid mystery, interesting way to handle an open world set in a small town full of distinct people to make it as real as possible, and so so so much love in here. I'm honestly baffled this has the reputation it does but maybe it has something to do with seemingly running at a terrible framerate at the time it released.
It's time for you to leave town. Are you ready to go?
YA OKAY. Good port, assholes.
