OXENFREE II: Lost Signals Reviews

The first game had charm. This was repetitive and the lack of real choices made it not engaging. I found myself trying to just to do the wildest thing for the plot.

This is a great sequel to the original Oxenfree. I did miss all of the anomalies you used to find in the original game. The story ends neatly with just enough of an opening if they wanted to make a third game. Would definitely play it if the devs do make another.

It's very good! Great writing, voice acting and art style!

The original Oxenfree has to be one of my all time favourite games. I played it at a very disjointed time in my life and it made me feel connected. The atmosphere it provided and relationships it dealt with bought me so close to it's story line that I could never and will never stop playing it. Oxenfree II has not disappointed me at all. While the characters and relationships explored in it are starkly different to the first game, I don't feel as if it's a draw back to how the game plays compared to the first one. The gameplay at it's core is very similar. A few added features, but boiled down, it's still the same core mechanic of tune radio, find ghost. The characters are what makes this feel like a fresh new experience rather then just a sequel. First game, all of the characters are already established with each other. Relationships (whilst some not good relationships) have already been built and we're thrown into a friend group. Oxenfree II builds all of the relationships from new. First off I felt a bit lonely and unhappy that this was the experience because I loved the community the first one made me feel like I was involved in. After a bit of playing though I actually felt like I related a lot more to the characters. I've always felt lonely as a human and felt like living is sharing experiences with one another, so being able to talk on my walkie talkie to the other strangers you meet along the way enhanced that sense of longing to share with people, even if it is still a lonely experience. The endings and story of Oxenfree II ultimately works very well towards that feeling of isolation, without too many spoilers. The emotions that it brings up feels necessary because similar to the first one, it still deals with an incredible amount of loss and grief. All in all, I think you should play the first one before this, mainly just for the added comparison between the two games and the emotions it bought up. Overall, both are incredible games that I find myself having a very personal attachment to and feels like I have been playing the games all of my life.

Great story, 1 and 2 are absolutely amazing.

the game take some few years or maybe not(?) after the event of first oxenfree the characters itself have a good chemistry between riley & jacob the walking now feels more fast (which is good, if you play the first one, the walking is very slow and tedious especially if you want to replay the game to get all the achievements) the voice acting is still good and the music is still amazing there's some improvement in the first one but the "villian characters" which is just some teenagers that following some cult, with one of the name olivia is annoying as whatever reason. She literally just loud and being edgy teenagers ( there's is some reason but it just feels force (?)) The other teenagers is so underdeveloped and feels blank especially violet ( there's only one scene only which is her getting possessed that tell her background and that it's) the ghost now feels underwhelming and not as scary as the first one ( the only time is the scene in the old church) and the radio is now not the center of the mechanic, most of your playtime is checking the walkie, hoping there's something "new" the cult feels so unimportant and disappointing that you can remove the cult and the story still can go on the way it's is. The cult feels like it's there's to make it more mysterious or develop olivia but it just fail to explain and just "there a cult in camena" it's feels like a filler and nothing to do with the ghost or the main story itself, or even olivia reason at all. overall the game is still enjoyable and good there's three ending so you have to play it three times, you have to use new save file because the old save file is gonna replay the ending you got (with two ending you can choose freely and one ending you have to make few choices before) the best thing they add is you can pet a dog

It was a fun adventure to play on the weekend. The characters are relatable and human - Jacob for me is one of the most interesting characters.

This game falls into the same trap as many Netflix originals, filled with awkward, unconvincing characters and stale dialogue that makes interactions feel forced. Jacob, in particular, comes across as irritating rather than relatable, as if the writing is trying too hard to appeal to a younger audience. What made Oxenfree 1 so compelling was its well developed character, each character bringing depth and personality to the story. In contrast, this sequel reduces the experience to just two shallow protagonists, lacking the richness and intrigue of the original. The magic is gone, leaving behind a hollow imitation that fails to capture even half of what made the first game special.

Really nice supernatural adventure game, with a great art style that follows up the story of Oxenfree, if you liked the first one you'll probably like it, there is the feeling that the choices have less weight compared to what i remember from the first game but at the end you still get some of the important choices revealed so it's still there. Played it fully on the deck with 0 problems. Totally recommend getting it if you loved the first one and if you haven't played it, pick the first one before this.

Family trauma wheeeeeeeeee! You can pet the dog ooooooooh! You can send a whiny ass teenager to limbo forever aaaaaaaah! Good game, made me tear up a tad.
