'Oxenfree II may not always be operating at its highest potential, but when it is, there's still nothing quite like it.' Our review of OxenfreeGame showcases why there's still a lot to love about the stylistic choices from nightschoolers : Oxenfree
Quick Links Night School Studio's Oxenfree, released in January 2016, arrived on the market as a somewhat singular experience. Members of its development team carried over an emphasis on dialogue and choices from time spent at Telltale Games, but the game's presentation was fresh, revolving around discontented small-town youth faced with supernatural threats.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Walking & Talking Feels Better Than Before Players will spend most of their time in Oxenfree II walking around the town of Camena and chatting, activities that mimic the first game's experience but smooth out its rough edges. Traversal feels much more fluid this time around, thanks in no small part to detailed animations that breathe more life into the movement of characters.
A New Story Isn't Entirely New Transitioning to adult characters is the big leap of Oxenfree II's narrative, and it portrays its new protagonists with empathy and complexity. The dynamic between Riley and Jacob is rendered similarly to the relationship between Alex and Jonas that underpins the preceding game, but the added years of life experience underline perspectives that have had time to grow deeper tendrils and subtler resentments.
Emotional Tensions Are The Narrative Key With the core concept of Oxenfree's mystery already answered, Oxenfree II takes a different approach to pacing. Major supernatural happenings key in faster, while character explorations take a bit longer to get off the ground. The in medias res approach of Alex's story is minimized in Riley's, with relationships formed throughout the game rather than existing beforehand.
