Next week will see the release of Professor Layton and the Unwound Future HD on mobile devices, so obviously developer Level-5 wants to promote it. In a brand new trailer for the HD port, we get to see some of the rerendered cutscenes and crisp artwork and I’m incredibly jealous. I’d kill to have a Switch port of these games or even a PC one. The Layton series is wonderful and it deserves the HD treatment....

The only problem is that this setting doesn’t seem to work all that well....

The sequel to the cult-favorite Deadly Premonition has had a poor reception. Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise has had poor critical reviews and hasn’t seemed to be able to capture the off-beat magic of the 2010 original.
