    Another amazing game from NightSchool. Incredibly smart story and witty, sharp dialogue, weaves a fantastic tapestry of supernatural happenings and superb humor.
    Worth the wait.

    Thoughts-
    When you’re done with Oxenfree 2 though, chances are that you’ll find it very easy to forgive and overlook the few flaws that it does have. It’s not a terribly long game, but just like its predecessor, it laves a lasting impression with everything that it has to say and show throughout the duration of its runtime. By keeping its core gameplay mechanics simple and uncomplicated, it delivers a fun, zen loop that, above all else, allows the game’s biggest strengths to flourish that much better. And those biggest strengths, namely the story, storytelling, and dialogue system, truly are the highlights of the experience here. All of it comes together in an expertly crafted game that, in spite of its short runtime, isn’t one that I’m likely to stop thinking about anytime soon.    … Expand

Sadly by the time i finished this very short game, i was left feeling immensely disappointed. The two main characters are just quite irritating, the story itself is a bit of a let down and doesn't really go anywhere, or at least it does not explore half as much as it could have, particularly in regards to the secondary characters. Traversal is also rather tedious with a lot of needless backtracking,plus there are a lot of areas in the map that are just empty spaces that you can climb to for no reason. There are also no new game mechanics, so Oxenfree 2 essentially plays exactly the same as the first game and afterparty. The disappointing thing is, there seems to be numerous situations where the devs could have added way more story, character backgrounds and generally expanded the narative, but they simply didn't bother. The whole game feels like a missed opportunity.… Expand

    This was a real disappointment for me, the setting is wonderful and the vibes are good. But it is hidden behind so much unfulfilling gameplay and backtracking sequences. The emotional core was empty for me here, your main travelling companion is one of the most annoying characters I can ever remember.

    A spectacular sequel. If you enjoyed the original, there is no reason not to play this.
    The story is more important than the gameplay itself. If you're rating it based on its gameplay, you are missing the point.

    A misjudged leap forward. While refined and polished, its fresh ideas cannot disguise the fact that we’ve passed that one parked car on Edwards Island before. [Issue#30, p.95]

    Oxenfree II pays deep homage to its predecessor while creating a pretty and creepy game that old fans and new ones alike can enjoy.
