Disappointed. I'm sorry but i absolutely did not resonate with this one, i could not care for the story nor the characters. Jacob was just an insufferable person i wished would just shut up once. Theres a whole ass life threatening emergency going on and he can't shut up about books and other uninteresting things. In fact none of them were really interested in these anomalies. Whenever there's an urgent event happening, they both just slow down to a snail's pace to talk about something meaningless. Combine that with some movement bugs and repeating conversation bugs, it was a slough. I have played the first one and i must have misunderstood the story because this one did not make sense to me I thought Alex and co. escaped? Also who are the people i see in the flashbacks? Is Rex my current son in my belly i see in the future? Is he a different child? Am i a teen? Am i really 50? Why should i care about this Rex child, i could not connect with him at all. I could not sympathize with Olivia either, the final choice was unclear to me storywise or motivationwise. I also do not really understand what have i've done or accomplished. In the closing stats i genuinely could not remember who was Evelyn and how did i help at all. I do not wish to give thumbs down, i don't usually do that, i appreciate all the effort and passion that goes into a project like this. I guess Oxenfree 1 put the bar too high up for me. That or i just sympathize and relate to a gang of teenagers more given my age. Keep up the good work guys, not everything is everyone's cup of tea and if other people really liked it, don't just listen to my lone sorrow ass's review.
