- Gamezebo9.0Oxenfree 2: Lost Signals is a pretty relaxing game overall. There’s something calming about slowly exploring a quiet town with a companion. Still, this game does have horror elements, which I’m personally a big fan of. The scarier scenes are superbly executed and somehow perfectly merge alongside the more serene moments of exploring the forest.
- GamesCreed7.6With elaborate ties to the first game, the wait was worth it. Night School Studio excels in poignant character studies and has proven once more that its creative writing knows no bounds. What OXENFREE II: Lost Signals lacks in the graphics or gameplay department the spectacular sound design and alluring interdimensional narrative more than make up for it.
- Game Rant7.0Oxenfree 2 ponders the same questions, but manages to conclude without any of the lingering unease or mystery that the first game managed. There's something to be said for finishing a story, but to wrap it all up in a bow with one of three fairly neat endings contradicts the ever-shifting nature of time travel and fate that both games play with.
- 3rd-strike.com9.5Oxenfree 2: Lost Signals is a great sequel in every way. It delivers an interesting and engaging story that can be enjoyed on itself, but also has a lot of references for fans of the previous game. This narrative is delivered with amazing visuals and sound design, especially when it comes to the quality of the voice acting. While the game is light on its gameplay side, mostly consisting of walking, talking, and an occasional puzzle, it’s just the perfect amount to deliver its story. This is a paranormal mystery you don’t want to miss out on.
- GameSpace.com7.5The first Oxenfree was hardly a masterpiece, and the continuation in Oxenfree 2: Lost Signals is even further. The plot is interesting and intriguing, especially if you understand all the references to the first part and can connect the events of both games in the series in your head. But an annoying companion and not the most exciting gameplay spoil the impression, overshadowing the amazing acting and great atmosphere.
