*UPDATED TAPE 1 AND 2* TAPE 1 : I really wanted to love this game, but I just can't. I feel like I was a bit mislead by the trailer because nothing seems to happen throughout the game. The story STARTS to unfold at the very end, after about 5 hours. I was expecting a bit more mystery. It's mostly horny teenagers flirting and hanging out and it almost felt like an awkward dating sim at times. I usually love dontnot games. I was expecting a lot more, especially with what they've been building up with the trailer and the easter eggs in the past months. I was really intrigued, couldn't wait to see what would be going on, but then nothing was happening. Tape 1 was a huge disappointment and I sure hope tape 2 will be more eventful. TAPE 2 : I just finished tape 2 and my opinion remains the same. Still feels like an awkward teenage dating sim at times. But as for the story, there's lot of unanswered questions. The vague mystery feels like an afterthought. There's too many things unexplained and that makes no sense. The villain feels forced. The ending is anti-climatic. Just a heads up, this isn't a story about a mysterious/supernatural hole in the ground as the trailer leads you to believe. It's more a coming-of-age story about a group of friend with one of them having a very sad story with some supernatural element sprinkled on it. Tape 2 was ok, i was a lot more let down by tape 1, but i still would not recommend, unless you want to play a PG teenage lesbian dating sim with some supernatural undertones. If that's what you want to go for it, you'll probably be stasified with the game. If not, it's a skip.Show moreShow less

Dontnod once again proves that they are masters at creating a cozy atmosphere. I love the great amount of detailed objects in the environments that you can pick up and twirl in your hands, which really helps you feel the essence of each place. I also like that the game encourages you to film things and people in the environments with your camera, further immersing you in both the world and the story. I just wish the main character would comment on those shots more, like Max did in Life is Strange - that added a lot to the connection with the areas we explored. You still get some commentary, but it requires jumping into the footage library. Even though it’s just a click away, it disrupts the flow and hurts the vibe. That said, this aspect of Lost Records really stood out to me because at some point, I found myself filming things just for fun, even when I wasn’t required to. After all, visually, this game feels more cinematic than anything Dontnod has made so far. The lighting, the stylized yet believable environment details, and the character designs all look beautiful. There isn’t much freedom in movement since the explorable areas are quite limited, but in return, they’re packed with much more detail compared to any Life is Strange game. However, I don’t like how the main character and her companions constantly urge you to move forward while exploring. After hearing it a few times within just a couple of minutes, it becomes extremely annoying. Also, the game takes control away from the player a bit too often, especially in the first couple of hours. I appreciate the increased number of cutscenes, but I’d rather experience the game myself than feel like I’m just watching a movie. At first, I wanted to mention how awkward some of the encounters in the game felt - even though the characters acknowledge it - but over time, I changed my mind. I realized that’s just how most people are when making new friends, and now I’m eager to see if their relationships will eventually feel more natural. Also, the music is amazing. Dontnod never disappoints. They always pick incredible tracks that perfectly support the atmosphere of their games. Apparently, some songs were written specifically for Lost Records, and they all sound fantastic. I can’t stop listening to them. I’ll update this review after I finish what’s available so far. For now, I’m intrigued and excited to keep playing.Show moreShow less

Many LIS games involve coming of age drama and I've finished them with no problem, so I thought I was mentally prepared for this one, too. I was wrong. The visuals and the music are great as usual, but the story and the characters are way below my expectation. In second part of the game, Tape 2, many characters suddenly grow OOC and start behaving strange. I just couldn't relate to the story anymore and was basically waiting for the cringe to end. Also, many choices given in the game feel forced. Playing as an awkward girl who has low self esteem and is desperately trying to make friends, you have to be complying or even flattering toward your friends so they don't get upset and dislike you, even when sometimes you know straight away they are making poor decisions. For many times I was left to choose between bad options and worse ones. For those looking for a choices matter game, just FYI, your choices don't really matter in the long run anyway since the ending will be largely the same. And the ending is not necessarily an ending but a cliffhanger, leaving the story unfinished. Save your time and energy for something else.Show moreShow less

Lost Records: Bloom & Rage not only has the nostalgic feeling to it but makes me nostalgic for the first time I played Life is Strange. Life is Strange was a game that changed my life and having a part of that feeling again for a new story feels amazing. I was worried that Bloom & Rage wouldn't be able to capture me like that again, but it did just that. It was all amazing. The characters, the visuals, the voice acting, the story, the music. Don't Nod have always been especially great with their games soundtracks and they're keeping it up with Bloom & Rage. Getting chills for the music hitting just right is a feeling games are missing so much now. I also especially loved the video camera. Being able to see things you actually recorded throughout the games instead of just some random animations that are vaguely close, it was such a nice addition. It's a really nice feeling to see all your recordings together. Don't Nod have once again proven that they're one of the best in the industry. The vibes you feel in this game, especially in the past, just feels like home. I'm so excited to see Tape 2.Show moreShow less

Lost Records: Bloom & Rage is a beautiful exploration of awkward teenagers building relationships and being confronted with life-altering trauma. I loved this game and it is so beautiful that it made me cry multiple times, so let me start with that sentiment. However, I couldn't recommend it because it is, in my opinion, unfinished. This game is clearly the spiritual successor to Life Is Strange, and it does so well. The characters are compelling and complex. There are so many beautiful aspects to the game, yet it is far from perfect. The characters are a huge selling point for this game. The atmosphere of this game is excellent. It is beautiful, and it has a very, very beautiful soundtrack to accompany it. The gameplay has novel aspects, using the camcorder being really, really fun and different. On top of that, there are tons of really, really unique details in the game that really change depending on what you get. I love the way this game handles your relationship progression with the girls, it feels a lot more dynamic and realistic than some other decision making games. It makes it a joy to see how even little decisions will impact the game moving forward. The story is compelling, however I feel like it drops the ball in the end. The cons of this game, well there are a few. For starters, and yes spoilers will follow, I really don't consider this a full game. I didn't follow the game's release schedule. So, at the end of this game, I literally thought it was alluding to the third chapter. Come to find out, that is the end of the game. That is the most succinct way I could sum up how unfinished and unsatisfying this ending is. It really has no ending at all. The storyline is very intriguing, but you learn very little about anything. You learn a lot about all the girls and their interpersonal relationships ( which I love by the way, it is extremely well done in that regard ) but the entire supernatural aspect of the game is a question mark. What is it? Where did it come from? Is it good or bad? You will not have these questions answered at all. The game ends on a huge cliffhanger, possibly insinuating that there will be a sequel to elaborate on what even happened in this game, but that's not a good thing. A sequel shouldn't have to finish the story of its predecessor, but add to it. A sequel to this game would literally have to finish what this one started, because it gave no closure at all. There are also a ton of glitches in this game, and admittedly none of them are really game breaking and easily ignored, they aren't altogether negligible. Glitches and issues include characters getting animation locked, lips not syncing to the dialogue and characters appearing randomly in scenes. Despite all of this, I really love the game. Even in its unfinished state. This is what a Life is Strange game should be, and it puts Deck Nine to shame even in the state it is in. If it were finished or delivered on an ending, it would be so, so close to perfection. But because it literally answers no questions and I didn't even know it was over until I looked up when the third tape would come out and found out that tape 2 was the ending, I can't really recommend this.Show moreShow less

I was a teenager in the 90's. This def captures the 90's. At least this camcorder kid doesn't film bags blowing in the wind? Fun game. I recommend. Finished game. As a 90's teenager I feel like I knew these kids. I can place each of them to people I remember. I was in a horrible garage band in the 90's. Punk Rawk Oi! Oi! Oi! I forgot how bright the colors were and how VHS tapes were a major thing. I played with the light ceiling fan switch and talked to my cat rather than pack for the move just like I would have in 1995. 90's phones. I used to know so many phone numbers. I read Anne Rice and King novels with very similar covers to what Swann has on her shelf. I had that toy with pins in a box you could make a rude gesture with. of course it always had rude gesture. Finally It has elements of the Craft with girls that seem like the ones I knew rather than what was shown in Hollywood. Just normal teen girls in H.S. with acne and farting. TAPE 2. This game was masterful to the point of slapping memories of long lost comrades to the forefront of my thoughts. My memory sees them trapped in immortal youth while I keep aging. It aches and burns. Cherish your friendships.Show moreShow less

As a huge fan of Life is Strange, this game unfortunately did not hit its mark. Tape 1: Bloom has a HUGE pacing problem. If you're a fan of doing slice of life stuff and nothing else, then this might be for you. The game meanders and loves to bait you. There are several moments that will build up and have you thinking, "finally, something's happening!" only for nothing to happen. Another issue is that the game constantly cuts between past and present at random and weird times. The cut back to the present feels unnecessary and jarring because it will literally just be Autumn reacting and saying one line before it cuts right back to the past. You would think that cutting between the past and present would be a clever way to advance the story, but nothing of the sort happens. It feels like a cheap gimmick that adds nothing to the game; nothing is ever revealed or added in the present scenes. In terms of gameplay, the gameplay is nonexistent. It consists of walking around as Swann and "filming" random things for about 4-5 seconds each. Then you can watch the footage that is automatically compiled into tapes, accompanied by a voiceover of Swann...not very engaging or interesting. A true walking simulator without a good story to make up for the absence of more interactive gameplay. I say unless you love 7-8 hours of slow burn set up with no payoff, then maybe hold off on checking this game out until Tape 2: Rage releases. Tape 1 is ultimately an aesthetically pleasing yet shallow and unsatisfying game. I spent 8 hours with these girls and yet, I don't feel attached to them at all, or even like I really got to know them. I can only hope Tape 2 is so amazing that it makes up for the 8 hours of prologue that is Tape 1. On the more positive note, the game is gorgeous and DONTNOD once again slaps with the soundtrack and the music.Show moreShow less

It is always refreshing to play a game you could tell they created with so much love. Lost Records: Bloom & Rage is an awesome narrative adventure with tough choices and clear consequences. You play as Swan, an awkward, introverted teenager who struggles to have friends. One day, fate brought her with three other girls, and they became close; each one of them had a different personality, and being young and reckless, they did something together that made them separate from each other, but fate once again brought them together after 27 years. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3431528055 The game allows you to play two timelines in the 90s when you didn't have mobile phones or any means of entertainment other than going out with friends and exploring the world. Swan, however, took an interest in filming; she always carried her video camera and filmed everything around her, which sometimes got her into trouble. She loves nature and loves hiking alone however, when she meets the girls, she encourages them to hike with her, and they discover an abandoned shack, which clearly from this episode indicates their life will change because of what they discover inside. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3431449302 Like any game from this developer, it focuses on exploring and making choices. I liked that they made it relatively slow compared to the other games. It reminds me of the charming time back in the 90s when no one was in a rush, and you mostly enjoyed spending time out with friends or attending concerts and enjoying time in the bedroom with your pets. This game made me very nostalgic, and they did a good job of catching the vibes. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3431519042 Pros: +Good voiceovers. +Outstanding graphics and cute character design. +Likable characters +Beautiful soundtracks. +Choices and consequences. +Chapter select (Total of 25 chapters in the first tape) +Collectibles (Too many, but can be all collected in collectible mode) +Steam achievements. Cons: -Nothing. DON'T NOD brought us another hit, and I can't wait to play the second tape. I wonder what is in the box that brought them all back together, although they promised not to see each other again. So many speculations and theories. I'll be updating this review when the second chapter will be released. I highly recommend this game if you enjoy slow-paced ones.

(tape 1 review) oh my god, can anything happen? like, this century maybe? the game seems like it is doing everything it can to avoid not just engaging you but saying anything at all. characters are bland and shallow and their relationships lack any real depth or nuance. the twist at the end finally garners my interest but only shows how dull the rest of the experience was. the game is beautiful, but empty. audio is good, but poorly mixed. cam-corder is fun, but not used to the fullest. so much bloat. so much nothing. maybe tape 2 will bring it together, but right now-- don't waste your time. (tape 2 review) i have mixed feelings. this was definitely better than tape 1, but i just kept thinking "i wish i cared". moments were visually impressive and even had some compelling drama, but i still had zero attachment to the characters. i also kind of thought what the girls started doing at a certain point was just genuinely unhinged and it was hard to stay in the moment. the game keeps up its charm with fun presentation and style, but once i got to the end i was kind of unsatisfied. there seems to be a lot of different versions of each scene-- like apparently you can keep everyone until the end of the night? there's like ten different ways that a specific event happens. i was surprised. maybe if i had made different choices i would've enjoyed it more. personally, i found the game to be a charming yet underwhelming experience. it has moments where it really works, but on the whole it just felt confused. regardless, there was still a ton of issues with the audio and performance. maybe it'll work for you, but it didn't for me.Show moreShow less
