Offer Deadly Premonition your patience, and it will reward you again and again. It’s rare that a game is this funny or self-aware.

The subtlety of the first handful of missions doesn’t last long. Soon you’ll be flying a helicopter, firing missiles out of a cruise ship, or blowing up police officers with explosive shotgun shells.
