Lost Records: Bloom & Rage

This game was 10 hours of boredom. From start to finish, I was bored. There was another part of me that was curious and assuming it would surely get better, but every moment that I played the game continued to disappoint. I love the Life is Strange series and I was hoping this would be similar in storytelling and replayability, but I have no interest in exploring other choices in this game and I do not plan on playing any sequels that get made for this. I don't mind that there wasn't really a big twist, necessarily, but I do mind that none of the relationship building felt like it was worth it and that the main reason for the entire story was the characters meeting at a bar in present day to look back on their past that they magically couldn't remember, yet it took 10 hours to unwrap that with unrelated story after unrelated story of them as kids just having fun in the woods and bonding. The writing itself was utter garbage. I hated every time my character spoke because even when I picked things that I thought were normal, she somehow managed to say them like she was gasping for air and had never spoken to another human being in her life. She was supposed to be awkward, but this…

GUYS THIS GAME IS AWESOME. All the little choices you get to make are always relevant in some way, the dialogue varies all the time based on choices too. The characters are fleshed out and the overall vibe is super immersive and cosy. Great replayability too, I LOVE seeing all the little things I missed the first time around and choosing completely different paths.

I wanted to like this game, I really did. Instead, I found the first (almost) hour of game play dreadfully boring. Forcing me to record things just to move on with the story was dull. Record six things in the area, then move on to more talking, record six more things, move on to more talking. I got bored, quickly. Then, when the girls started talking about how their cycles were that month, which had absolutely nothing to do with the game (mind you, I am a woman too) I was like really? The game jumped the shark at that point for me. I was wanting a spooky game to start off halloween with and this was anything but. Nothing spooky, nothing riveting, nothing to hold my attention in the first hour. I think it had potential, but it just didn't grab me and want to keep my attention.
