While the similarities with its predecessor can make Oxenfree 2: Lost Signals feel too familiar, highlighting a few missed opportunities for expansion of its puzzle mechanics and for fresh worldbuilding, it still creates an intimate but epic adventure. The world is built out just enough to feel fresh and to lead you to some unexpected and surprising places. However, its real strengths are its characters. Riley’s story is a standout, but she and Jacob come together to form a bond that carries you through to the (possibly) bitter end. The choice is yours.

Despite some witty dialogue and a few poignant moments, OXENFREE II: Lost Signals is an unexciting talkie-walkie with conversation interruptions and dull gameplay.

Oxenfree II: Lost Signals spends a little too much time washed out in white noise to truly deliver on its promise, but when tuned just right it sounds like little else. A coming-of-age story for people who should have already come of age is a beautiful and poignant launching pad, and despite getting bogged down in hard rules and lore, Night School Studios still display a grasp on horror aesthetics and storytelling worth the price of admission. The signal is a little fuzzy, but this is a game still worth listening out for.

Oxenfree II: The Lost Signal nous questionne, nous perturbe, et propose une introspection complète sur notre vie au travers du parcours des personnages. Ils sont perdus dans leur vie. La suite d’Oxenfree arrive à convaincre autant que le premier. Un jeu narratif qui, avec tout un univers paranormal, arrive à créer cet attachement afin de tout nous balancer ensuite à la face. Et si les thématiques abordées ne fonctionnent pas sur vous, il reste sur la première couche un excellent récit fantastique aux allures lynchéenes qui nous feront douter de la réalité.

Para los amantes de las aventuras gráficas con alta carga narrativa y un toque de misterio sobrenatural, la secuela de Oxenfree supone una interesante alternativa. No hace falta haber jugado al anterior juego, aunque los que lo descubrieron encontrarán una trama intrigante, por momentos terrorífica, que supone en muchos aspectos una evolución positiva. Echo de menos un mejor ritmo y algo de desafío, pero si lo único que buscas es vivir una historia inmersiva, puede resultarte interesante.

Oxenfree 2: Lost Signals feels like an evolution of its predecessor. It presents us with a new perspective of both Edward’s Island and Camena that both add to the overall mystery of the paranormal world they reside in but also keep to the series’ down-to-earth storytelling.

Oxenfree II: Lost Signals is a fairly safe sequel that allows its narrative and new cast of characters to do the heavy lifting. Through constant chit-chat between Riley and Jacob, gameplay remains enjoyable enough to keep you engaged, allowing the story to always be at the forefront of your mind. A few frustrating puzzles and frequent load screens aside, Night School Studio has put together a worthy follow-up that fans and newcomers can equally enjoy.

Oxenfree II: Lost Signals è un'avventura grafica di ottima fattura che ci sentiamo di consigliare a chiunque, specie a coloro che hanno avuto modo di apprezzare il primo capitolo. Intrappolati in una vicenda dai connotati misteriosi e paranormali, i protagonisti del gioco sono credibili e sfaccettati, a vantaggio dell’efficacia del racconto e dei dialoghi coi comprimari. Il titolo non possiede la carica innovativa del capostipite e forse non sfrutta come avrebbe potuto alcune buone idee ma regala un’esperienza emozionante e dal setting indovinato, che non dovreste lasciarvi sfuggire.

Oxenfree II: Lost Signals is an excellent sequel that takes the story in a significantly different direction without losing what made the original such an essential piece of storytelling. The sharper focus on fewer characters makes for a much better-paced experience without the need to juggle multiple relationships. Pacing issues do crop up if you happen to take a wrong turn but, in spite of that, Oxenfree II still provides an intriguing, suspenseful mystery that fans and newcomers will both adore. Be sure to play the original first, though.

Se avete amato Oxenfree, non potete non amare questo Oxenfree 2: Lost Signals, specialmente perché porta avanti (e finisce?) una storia che ha ancora diverse cose da dire, diversi misteri da svelare. Il gioco è rimasto essenzialmente lo stesso, quindi c'è tanto da camminare e dialoghi a non finire, ma il suo essere così minimal è anche una forza visto che tra le tante piattaforme dove potrete giocare a Oxenfree ci sono tablet e smartphone. Oxenfree 2: Lost Signals e il capitolo precedente sono disponibili su PlayStation, Switch e PC (su Xbox questo seguito rimane inspiegabilmente assente). I due Oxenfree sono anche inclusi nell'abbonamento Netflix.

Oxenfree 2: Lost Signals è un ottimo sequel di quello che fu il titolo del 2016, in grado di offrire un'altra storia ai palati desiderosi di avvinghiarsi a un'avventura dinamica. Con un po' meno tinte horror e un passaggio allo psichedelico e al sovrannaturale, con l'avvento di Netflix sembrerà essere finiti quasi in un ambiente alla Stranger Things, ma senza Demogorgone. Con degli ottimi dialoghi e un'atmosfera che funziona per quella che è la storia da raccontare, ci siamo trovati dinanzi a poco più di 5 ore di divertimento, godendoci quella che potrebbe essere quasi una serie di 6 puntate su un'avventura surreale con una protagonista che conferma la struttura già apprezzata 7 anni fa. Nessuna rivoluzione, ma solo una conferma: questo potrebbe essere visto come un aspetto negativo, ma un motivo in più per tornare dove si è stati bene, soprattutto in estate.

Fans of the original Oxenfree should largely enjoy the bigger, longer sequel, with the caveat that more isn’t always better. I preferred the older, more mature characters this time around, and once again the writing and production values are excellent for the most part. A (very little) bit of expanded gameplay is welcome, while the complexity of weaving two stories together ends up feeling too convoluted for its own good. While you could easily skip the first game if you wish, you’d probably get more out of this one if you don’t. And since the tighter, leaner original is marginally better than the sequel, there’s really no reason not to start there anyway. The novelty is missing the second time around, but if you’re all about story, exploration and characters, you’ll likely find that both Oxenfree and Lost Signals are worth picking up.
