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]

In the first part of the game, you can see a great '90s setting with good graphics and a great camera mechanic. As you progress, you realize this is one of the worst stories ever written; it was difficult to keep nothing happening for the entire duration of the game, but they succeeded, thanks also to the characters, each worse than the last. It's a cringe feast, and the protagonist helps a lot.

One of the best ever.... .. . . . . . .. .

Simply a beautiful game with wonderfully written characters. I hope for a sequel. The atmosphere of this game is breathtakingly suspenseful and eerie—yet at the same time, as beautiful as the paradise of one's own youth.

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.

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.

La parte del sigilo es una verga atomica y me me re enojo porque no la pude pasar y se me fue Nora por esa pelotudez. El resto del juego es una hermosura.

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.
