    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm a big fan of the first oxenfree game that came out back in 2016, as it was the first game on my Xbox and the first game I ever 100% completed, when I saw this sequel I knew I had to play it, and it really did not disappoint, I love how they brought back the original gang from the first game, I'm glad that they did release this game, but was pretty bummed when it wasn't released on Xbox, so I'm lucky to have both the series x and ps5. Overall I give the game a 9 out of 10… Expand

    10/10 Music: When a games makes me go to spotify to add songs to my playlist its a 10/10. The music on the radio is good too. 5/10 Gameplay: Its basically a walking simulator, Slow walking, and going to the same locations over and over again, they to add lots of dialogue which makes it a lot more interesting. Exploring has no rewards in the game. I wish the game did    Phone/Netflix review-

    10/10 Story/Innovation/Relationships: Its really fun playing with the radios and talking with all the characters in the game.

    Overall: A fun play through. The mystery of the characters, and what the heck is going on with the island kept me engaged and wanting to come back.    … Collapse

    Oxenfree II is a great story-driven game, just like its predecessor. For anyone who played the first game, it's a must-see sequel. If you haven't played, it's still worth it, since it's not mandatory to know the first part of the story - but you'll certainly want to play after experiencing this sequel.

    The game is poorly optimized at the start. There are a lot of pixels and ladders that do not allow you to fully immerse yourself in the atmosphere, and the price tag is too high!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I just finished playing and I absolutely loved the game. I waited many years for this and was NOT disappointed. All I want to say is, the story was amazing, the map was huge but not boring or tedious in any way even if sometimes moving seems a bit slow. The interactions with the "side quests" was fantastic and once again, visual and sound design were spot on. I love indie games and thisI just finished playing and I absolutely loved the game.

    The only bad thing I can say is there don't seem to be many drastically different endings, thus making the choices matter a bit less though the game    … Expand

    The game does a great job at grabbing the player's attention and provides a fitting audiovisual environment, but its gameplay can often feel repetitive with a course of action that gets dull sometimes. For a game that makes use of so many dialogues, Oxenfree II is not always able to deliver the most interesting exchanges, and its plot development turns out to be more linear than it seems. Fans of plot-heavy games with mystery settings still have plenty to enjoy here, though.

    Spooky vibes and believable characters make Oxenfree II an atmospheric and immersive mystery from start to finish.

    If you loved the original Oxenfree game, you’ll adore this follow-up title. It retains the familiar qualities of the first entry but offers more than enough new elements alongside this to feel fresh. You can definitely play Oxenfree 2: Lost Signals without playing the first game too, but doing so will provide you with a little more context as to what exactly is going on.
