Lost Records: Bloom &a; Rage

"DONTNOD flexes its narrative muscles with an interesting offering that, without any major gameplay innovations, is engaging. While the first film drags on revealing all the cards, the second seems in a hurry to wrap things up quickly (it&s;s half …"

"A teen drama adventure with a lot of nostalgia and a good atmosphere, but with a lazy script and boring gameplay"

"Lost Records: Bloom &a; Rage is a game that&s;s saved by its characters. Their personalities are as fleshed out as we&s;d expect from a Don&s;t Nod adventure game, they&s;re the driving force in getting you through the story. The presentation …"
