This game may see strange at the first sight, but you should give it a try.
Absolutely amazing storyline and great actors, calm gameplay and scary atmosphere.
It is a beautiful piece of art.
Perfect.
I really liked they way they told the story in this game. The exploring and radio mechanic were fun and engaging. The atmosphere was great. I got goosebumps many times...but I'm also a wimp. I really felt connected to the characters, so that's why I was disapointed at the end that the writers decided to get all weird and "oOOOoooo!" with time at the end. I felt like there was a really forced and contrived "gotcha!" at the end. Overall, it was pretty good.
Oxenfree was quite a surprise for me as I played it to relax but got involved. It was so captivating that I finished it in one day ! I really recommend it to anyone willing to live an adventure.
I've completed it twice in a row (like finishing it the first time and presseing the new game+ immediately after).
This game was not hard in any way, it didn't have a ton of mechanics, but it just kept
me glued to see it from alternative perspectives, because the world and character building
is awesome. Everything felt so intriguing to poke around.
The only complaint I got, is that this game is not meant for a laptop, performance-wise.
I'd put a 4/5 because of the lackluster optimisation, as I've played much more complex games with this 1000 passmark points laptop vga (I had to play on 1366x768, to have 60fps, dropping down to 20-30 at several map sections).
But let's assume I was on my pc, so it's a 5/5.
I went into 'Oxenfree' with an open mind. I have heard and read both good and not-so-good things about this supernatural adventure game; with this free copy of the game in hand, I decided it see for myself. There were things that I liked about 'Oxenfree', but the game was only somewhere from mediocre to good in the end.
Let's start with what I liked. The graphics were beautifully drawn and presented, even when I turned lighting and antialiasing visual effects off. The voice acting was also well done, and I found the dialogues, written almost like a stage play, to be captivating. Most characters were well fleshed out through their dialogues, giving them distinct personalities. Dialogues were snappy and felt natural, too, especially when your dialogue selection would interrupt other characters. There were a few surprises here and there, but nothing truly shocking or scary. I also liked the setting of Edwards Island the first one or two times I explored it.
My biggest complaint about 'Oxenfree' was how unoptimized it was. Despite my computer meeting the minimum system requirements, the game became annoyingly slow in parts, including the introduction/tutorial. This still happened when I turned off the visual effects and dialed down the screen resolution. For a game that relied on the snappy banters between characters and the quickness of your responses, this slowing down really broke the pacing for me.
Strangely, this sluggishness did not happen when I started New Game Plus (NG+) mode. NG+ becomes available upon finishing the game. I will not say much more about NG+ in fear of sharing spoilers, but I found it rather unnecessary and monotonous. If I had not start NG+ immediately right after I finished the core game (which took 5 to 7 hours to complete), I might have a different opinion about it. I suggest giving yourself a break after finishing the core game before starting NG+.
NG+ is still set on Edwards Island. This meant exploring the same locations again, which was my fourth time doing so since I pretty much ran around the island three times the first time around to collect all hidden collectibles. Edwards Island was not a big island, so it got boring by the third time I traversed it. Unfortunately, there are no fast travels in 'Oxenfree' as plot and character developments were tightly tied to where you happened to be on the island. While I can understand why the developers did not include this feature, it would have been nice to be able to fast travel after having explored the island twice or thrice.
In the end, 'Oxenfree' is a good "game" at best, but not great. The "game" part comes from the light platforming, as well as your choosing dialogues that will affect your relationships with other characters and the story outcome. Play it if you have run out of games to play (as I did), but I think there are better games to try in the meantime.
