I loved the original, so it was an instant buy. I had no idea Oxenfree was even getting a sequel, but then I just stumbled across it on Steam’s front page one day. So it was definitely a flawed game, but I think it was a unique and interesting enough experience to be worthwhile. I also found that the way the consequences of my choices came together made for a very disjointed final chapter, but I think that was just bad luck. The game’s other gimmick - the limited ability to see the consequences of your actions before you take them - was interesting to do once, but I don’t see it as the future of narrative games or anything. I’m not sure if I’ll replay the game, but if I do, I will almost certainly side with Power. I wasn’t expecting to like Power at all, but his direct, uncompromising approach to morality proved very appealing. I chose Truth to champion, with Bond and Power roughly tied for second place. A lot of narrative games try for stuff like this, but rarely is it executed so well - there usually seems to be at least one or two no-brainer choices. The game pushes you to choose one Aspiration to champion, and I think they did a really good job of making them all seem like valid choices with pros and cons, with none of them being obviously good or bad choices. ![]() On the other hand, I did really enjoy all the stuff with the Aspirations. All of the characters are too faultlessly nice to be believable… except one, but there was never an opportunity to truly take them to task for how awful they were. The story in the human world never really came together for me. Fall of Reverie’s events take place across two realms: A near future version of our world, and Reverie, the world of dreams, where dwell humanity’s personified Aspirations. In practice, it was an odd, inconsistent game. As a Dontnod fanboy, it’s been on my wishlist pretty much from the moment I heard about it. This one was not actually a sale purchase but a birthday gift from a friend. I’ll just go through them all real quick… or as quick as someone as long-winded as me is gonna get, anyway. Thanks to the recent Steam sale, I’ve blitzed through quite a few games recently. ![]()
