Lost Records: Bloom & Rage

La partie 1 est tellement longue que ça en devient ennuyant. Ce n'est pas intéressant. L'histoire est plate. Pour dire, je m'endormais sur le jeu tellement qu'il y a très peu d'intrigue. On devine beaucoup trop facilement la fin de la partie 1 parce que c'est prévisible à 100% !

Loved the mood of the game!

I liked the game a lot... but. (will try to keep spoilers ambiguous, but they will be present) The "huge event" that made them all make their promise was (at least in my playthrough) incredibly lacking to the point I was really confused why they didn't just carry on their lives like before. it felt unsatisfying and annoying as a conclusion, especially as it felt like the whole game was building up to it. Honestly, it just felt like the promise was jammed in. These girls are inseparable and love each other, why would they abandon their closest friends/lovers just like that?? This connects to a later point, but I feel like this was unnecessary to force the player into this conclusion. It took me a while to work out why the magic felt to weird but I think it was the way the huge hell pit that everyone is weirdly chill about proceeds to do... nothing. Literally, nothing. And then it felt like they glued the end of another game, where magic played a much bigger part, on the end. I mean seriously, not even their wishes came true. Other than the end, all I remember is one scene where magic... gives someone a headache? That they ignore. That's it. At the exact point when the coven starts to actually become interesting, it ends in a way that feels deeply unsatisfying. Not sad or emotional, just unsatisfying, wasted potential. Towards the end there started being hints that the present and the past were affecting each other, and I feel like this would have been a really interesting direction to take things, maybe even leading to a better conclusion for the girls (even just them keeping in contact into the present), but it just got dropped and ignored an a way I found disappointing. The whole 27 years thing literally doesn't make sense. Why did it take that long to deliver the package? I feel like the narrative would have been way less relentlessly hopeless and depressing if it had been less time, and this is one instance where 'sad' does not equal 'emotionally powerful', at least not to me. Very minor but I found it weird that you can sort of rekindle your relationship with Nora (who is exactly Chloe btw) in the present, when she is currently married. It would have worked in a happy way if she wasn't married or with some poly representation, but as it is it just felt weird and uncomfortable in a way that was not addressed. Finally, again minor but the post credits scene really undermined the whole big "be sad about this" bit leading up to it and also the game as a whole (its all about these three inseparable girls reconnecting and then she just goes alone and abandons them all), while also making the story feel incomplete. What I find most frustrating is how much potential this game had that was wasted. Especially towards the end it feels rushed and riddled with cut or missing content. these things wouldn't affect my opinion of the game too much except that in games that are entirely narrative driven, the narrative feels important, yknow? Still though, I recommend this game because of tape 1, what I believe tape 2 could have been if given just another month in development, and how much I want to see something similar that *did* get that time to mature.

Muy buen juego, Kat me recordo a mi mama. Cuando vi un comentario que decia que este juego la hizo llorar, no mintio.

is pretty goo

If you like the Life is Strange games you will most likely love this game too.

I was super duper ready to find out what the [spoiler] supernatural abyss-[/spoiler] stuff was all about, and I must admit that I'm thoroughly dissappointed. For a story driven game to leave me with - what seems to be - the beginning of a longer story, is not my cup of tea. Not a waste of time, but very slow pacing, and I have had to drag myself to the ending, only to find that it's not the ending. This was not what I had expected from the makers of the first LiS.
