(Played before 2023)
I’ll say, I really like Dead Rising 2, and this is more of that with a twist. But it shouldn’t be its own game, and I think the story changes are kinda stupid and make it less interesting. It also is where you see them really lean into the silliness way too much. Dead Rising 2 at least was able to pull back a lot, but this one just hits the throttle in comparison which led to 3 and, eventually, 4. Just play the regular version, especially because you won’t understand the DLCs if you do OTR.
