OXENFREE 2 is a good continuation of the original story.

Like the first game, it is an amazing experience that can be completed in one sitting.
The game is fairly short (6-7h). Unlike the first game, it does not require multiple playthroughs for additional endings, just achievements. I left PC running for days, hence why 45h on record, ffs.
(The final collectible letter spawning only after you have collected all the others was a skum move by the devs.)

While the first game focused on teenagers like from "Stranger Things" and their angst-filled struggles, Oxenfree 2 follows two adults that basically have to clean-up the mess left behind.
For that reason the characters and story are more mature. Good writing.

The music is great, like in the original, and best of all the audio mixing is better.
Meaning no interruptions or voices and sounds playing over each other.

The voice acting is good, but Jacob should learn to shut the f UP !
This anxiously nervous modern Western way of talking is beyond annoying:
"I, I, I was just... uh maybe so [sigh] Yeah, no, uh like, iF yOu dOn'T miND mE aSkiNg, anyway uh [sigh] so actually I guess [sigh] what just happened uh, [sigh ... what was I saying?"
This AIN'T cute, stfu and LEARN TO SPEAK ENGLISH MAZAFAKA!!
English is not my 1st language and even I don't talk like that.
I met weedheads more sober, confident and clear than this backwater hick Jacob. Even racist village rednecks are more coherent, educated and easier to understand than this challenged foolish stuttering.


OXENFREE 2 was still developed by "Night School Studio" and thankfully the vision was not compromised, but we can already feel Netflix's tendrils slithering into the writing and trying to add some "they/them" bs. Thankfully it is optional and can be completely disregarded if you simply don't chose this nonsense.


Overall the sequel was a beautiful game and experience. The cult church segment was spooky and had good action.
This game answers all the questions and should be played by fans of the first game.
I do recommend.

I really enjoyed this sequel - it was not as surprising and overwhelming as the first one, but I think a lot can be attributed to the discovery of the unverse and ambiance aspect. I think characters are interesting, more mature, and I really enjoyed the views and scenery. It had the right amount of "scary" for me too, I didn't feel as scared as the first one (and for me, that's a good thing).

Great sequel. If you enjoyed the first, this is a great way to continue.
