OXENFREE II: Lost Signals 12+

I don’t normally write reviews on anything really, but I wanted to share how much I truly loved this game. I was actually very skeptical about it at first, because I loved the first Oxenfree so much. When I played the first game, I was enraptured in the characters lives and the story and the mystery that I played it 3 times haha! I just loved and appreciated it that much. So when I started this one I thought it was going to be some dumb rip off of the first with no personality (that was just my assumption). However, I just finished the game and it was better than I ever expected 🥰 this game deserves 5 stars because of how well it ties the original story line of the first game and the adventure of Alex and the gang into a whole new set of characters and stories. Words literally cannot express how much I love it, I may start it over again a few times too!! I don’t want to give spoilers, but I just love how by the end I cared for each of the characters so much and was so excited to see older characters too that I squealed haha. But thank you to the game makers and Netflix for this absolute masterpiece!! If it was made into a show I would totally watch it 100%

Side note: Jacob has my heart, he’s such an awkward lovable character oh my gosh😂🫶

I gave this game. 5 stars for the story and the game mechanics. Play is smooth, relaxing, and intuitive. I found almost no bugs, and no show-stoppers preventing a seamless experience. The story is compelling, heartwarming, and tragic — my favorite mix!

I’m very happy I played it, but I’m skeptical about whether I’ll play it again. Still , if you already have Netflix, it’s a no-brainer — play it! :)

In terms of downsides, the choices on which the game is based are the “usual”: be a decent person, be kind to people, and everything will work out for you. While there are many ways the plot can go based on your choices, choices mostly alter the events and accomplishments _surrounding_ the main story — few choices have a profound effect on the main storyline (but some do!).

After completing the first game, which I absolutely loved, I was thrilled to see a sequel had been released. I finished it in about a day and love every minute of it. The storyline, writing, background, effects, characters, just everything was amazing. That final decision at the end I feel truly put you into the character’s shoes, causing you to actually stop and think and decide what you ultimately felt was right. The heartbreaking dialogue definitely pushed me in the end to pick olivia. Everything was absolutely incredible and is by far one of the best games I’ve ever and will ever play. Thank you so much to all that sacrificed so much time and energy into making this, I hope you’re as astonished by it as we are❤️
