Lost Records: Bloom & Rage (Tape 2) review

A fascinating new narrative adventure from the original Life is Strange team with fresh twists that help move the formula forward.

As for the game's antagonists, there's continued development for Kat's sister Dylan, but her arsehole boyfriend Corey is shortchanged - his more nuanced portrayal in Act 1's finale is abruptly abandoned, and he reverts into a one-dimensional cartoon villain once again. Image credit: Don't Nod / Eurogamer Subtitle sizes and backgrounds, controller remapping, motion sickness tools to smooth walking and camcorder feel, HUD resizing, offscreen speaker identification, optional reticule, detailed content warnings. It repeatedly tugs on the heartstrings through the use of familiar post-death storytelling staples - newly-found footage, ghostly appearances and more - while simultaneously still suggesting Kat can be saved, maybe, in a future game, via an extraordinary post-credits scene that robs her death of its impact and feels like an advert for a sequel that - for now, who knows - may never come.
