    A bit of Oxenfree II. It’s good so far. Their previous game Afterparty was a pretty limp experience IMO, but they’ve won me back. It’s been a weirdly nostalgic time and the writing is solid. It leans on much of the lore of the first title, which means the mystery isn’t so interesting this time around. But we’ll see how it goes, it might surprise me.

      Alternative opinion: absolutely loved Afterparty. They went in a totally different, comedic direction with it, but I personally enjoyed it a lot. And, honestly, liked Oxenfree II even more than the first one. Yes, it lacks novelty, but makes up for it with excellent writing.

        Yeah fair enough, I can see why you’d get into it. I think the humour wasn’t for me and I found the plot to be too low stakes. Art was great though.

        Finished Oxenfree II, completely agree, writing was excellent. Characters are far more complex and the story was super thematically rich
