Everyone hyped this game up to me and i was let down. I only played I think half of it, so maybe it gets redeemed, but...

You get very limited time to make most dialogue choices, to the point where you usually can't finish listening to what is being said when the choice pops up, and your choice almost always cuts off the current speaker. And in general, the characters cut each other off constantly and not in a natural way, just a really frustrating one. The gameplay was mostly boring, walk from place to place and dial a radio, sometimes looking for clues but there's not really much thought there. And you move so god damn slow.

The plot and characters were supposed to be the selling point and it just didn't hook me. People lump it in with LiS but none of these characters were as endearing or engaging tbh. They weren't bad but they weren't compelling enough for me to want to finish the game. And the plot was interesting enough, but again, not enough that it was compelling

Good music though

I adored playing this on my ps4, can't hurt to have it on pc too. Thanks!

This bothered me so much

I still enjoyed Oxenfree overall, though

Hmm, I kinda feel bad to get this for free. It was a game I was interested in purchasing. I suppose I can purchase the soundtrack though.
