Lost Records: Bloom & Rage is a phenomenal narrative adventure from DON'T NOD. It expertly blends supernatural elements with a deeply personal coming-of-age story.
By the time it reaches its conclusion, Lost Records: Bloom & Rage feels like a missed opportunity. What begins with such a compelling and intriguing premise is rooted in a mystery that, over the course of the hours needed to complete the adventure, never becomes truly engaging, fails to surprise, and gradually loses its edge as the story unfolds. The game's real intention lies elsewhere: to tell the story of a friendship, a drama that is sadly human, and to explore a dual timeline, where past and present ultimately never truly connect. It could have been a powerful tale of coming-of-age and friendship, had it been written with more honesty.

Stick with Bloom & Rage through the hard times, though, and you might well be ready to take comfort in that lie. [Issue#411, p.110]

A real raw emotional story game that feels genuine. The camera recording aspect & making little movies with memories you film is fantastic even though the little snippets I recorded were mostly trash. You end up feeling bonded with all the amazing characters & are sad when the summer is over, the flashback aspect & current day premise was well done like you'd see in a high-end TV series. There could have been more done though, dialogue & delivery was odd sometimes, not enough time spent 1 on 1 with friends, & the fact that there's some "wrong" choices made me look up what to choose instead of playing naturally. Also, not sure what was with all the weird anti-hunting propaganda, I guess the writers don't know that deer hunting is actually good for deer & the environment? Or maybe they're showcasing how clueless teenagers are in their views, which would actually be genius, like all the kids protesting for silly causes in America & they have no clue what they're talking about.

Tape 1 was a drag and by the time I got to tape 2 I was over it. I typically like these type of games. This one had too many “go get 7 of these to continue” moments. I beat it but wish I hadn’t spent the time on it.

This is not an real story game, it feel more like an political opinion. It fails to tell an good story because the focus is clearly not there.

Lost Records Bloom & Rage is another gem in the now revered catalogue of Don’t Nod Entertainment. Sporting a set of characters that are so wonderful, and propelled by powerful voice acting, the tale will stay long in memory. Gorgeous visuals and a superb soundtrack help make this game a beauty to behold. The camcorder gameplay mechanic is a fantastic addition to an otherwise solid, if not spectacular gameplay design. Whilst the main plot can get bogged down by some minor issues, the characters themselves help seal this game as another memorable adventure.

Una aventura que te hace vivir todas las emociones de los personajes de forma profunda. Tiene misterio, tiene hilo conductor bueno y además muchísimas opciones que te llevan a una u otra escena opcional con muchísimos finales distintos, haciendo que sea muy rejugable. Los giros de guión son muy buenos y está a la altura de Life is Strange. Juego perfecto.

With its new licence, Don't Nod is following in the footsteps of Life is Strange, while skilfully managing to distinguish itself from it.

The coming-of-age adventure in the style of Life is Strange, with great characters, dialog and a mystical storyline, lets up a little at the end, but offers a great experience overall. I had a lot of fun with Swan, Nora, Kat and Autumn. I also enjoyed taking a nostalgia trip back to the 90s through the girls and reminiscing about my own youth.

An engaging, intriguing story in which every element seems well thought out and fits in with the rest: from the audiovisual setting, to the authentic characters, dialogue and the plot. It's a pity that the story moves too slowly at first, and when it speeds up, it speeds up too much.

This game is basically the child of Night in the woods, and Life is Strange. Sure, there can be improvement, but literally no story game is perfect. It’s dark, dramatic, beautiful, and has amazing romance. Also, hello the options are all women?? Not something you see often. The cinema in this game is amazing, and character design?? Top tier. It’s realistic, if you actually insert yourself into the story you can 100% feel it. It’s not supposed to be completed yet, the set up for another game is perfect. The two episode split honestly helps it be cohesive. Story games needs to be experienced as such, a STORY. This was delightful, and thank you devs for making an immersive, breathtaking game. There’s so much to compliment.

Dagli sviluppatori del primo Life is Strange, Lost Records emana le vibes di quel gioco, racconta una storia di adolescenti che ripercorrono l’estate del 1995. La narrazione è buona anche se onestamente mi sarei aspettato qualcosina in più, mentre tecnicamente non è ottimizzato benissimo. È bloccato a 30 fps e spesso presenta Pop-in.
