    Lost Records: Bloom & Rage had to face the impossible comparison with Life is Strange, and it managed to surpassed it. Don't Nod's new game is a coming-of-age sci-fi story steeped in nostalgia and featuring the best characters the company has ever written. One of those games that any fan of narrative choice-making adventures can't miss.

    Lost Records: Bloom & Rage is a quality adventure game that, as a follow-up to the cult classic Life is Strange, perhaps suffers a little from over-expectation.

    Lost Records: Bloom & Rage marks developer Don't Nod returning to its Life is Strange pinnacle, delivering a coherent and compelling yarn that expertly flits between an evocative 1995 and a friend's reunion in 2022. Bring on the sequel.

    A teen drama adventure with a lot of nostalgia and a good atmosphere, but with a lazy script and boring gameplay.

    After a promising first instalment, this second one struggles to reinvent itself, repeating the same strengths and weaknesses of its predecessor. The pace remains slow and uneven with an onset that is slow to get going and lacks originality. As for the ending, it is vague and overly predictable, leaving several questions unanswered while raising new ones, which only adds to the frustration and may disappoint. Despite its undeniable qualities, the experience ends on a mixed note, leaving a bitter aftertaste as our expectations were so high.
