    I just hope the second half lives up to the first when it launches on April 15.

    I truly, truly hope Lost Records gets the patience it deserves. Again, its slower pace means it’ll inevitably fall out of favor with some folks. But, if you stick around, Tape 1 of Lost Records will do anything but disappoint you. If you’re willing to engage with it, it’ll reward you with compelling storytelling, layered characters, stellar environmental design, and an always-relevant reminder that there’s beauty in imperfection. [Highly Recommended]

    Lost Records: Bloom & Rage is a beautiful, sentimental experience with a very dense narrative. Taking players back to the 90s, the game really digs into nostalgia by bringing back aspects that made the first Life is Strange a huge success, from cringe-inducing teenagers to multiple narrative paths.
