" OXENFREE: The emotional adventure game you need to know about". All that being said, if you're an adventure-game fan who likes slower story-based games, you should find Oxenfree an engaging sub-$20 download to play over a rainy Sunday afternoon.SUMMER 2016's HUGE CONTENT UPDATE: The most mind bending game of the year has new storylines, scenes, and endings, plus a multi-episode behind-the-scenes documentary. The music also adds to the atmosphere, but the voice acting is hit and miss (plus, teens don't talk like this). As Alex, you can decide what to say and how to act and choose the people you want to help - interestingly, there isn't always a "correct" choice or one that doesn't have any repercussions. The pacing is off, too, because some areas of the game are slow and drag on, while at other points some significant events take place in a short period of time.Īlong with beautiful hand-painted 2-D environments, the real charm in Oxenfree is the character development. It's also strongly recommended that players use a game controller, because the keyboard and mouse controls aren't the most intuitive. Some of the navigation is tedious, too, such as hopping over obstacles, climbing up or down rocks, or walking down twisting paths, as it all takes time, though it's likely required to let all the dialogue sequences play out. This mystery title is a fun, unique three- or four-hour adventure - with an enjoyable story and characters to unravel - but those with little patience won't likely appreciate the thousands of lines of dialogue to wade through. Made me wonder what the hell else it had in store for my child.ĭefinitely do NOT subject your minor children to this title there are plenty of superb horror platform games that they can play (Limbo, Inside, Little Nightmares, et al.) that don't descend into lowbrow adolescent sex talk (which I realize is realistic, but that's not why I play games). What kind of incel dorks made this game?Īll of that took place within just the first ten to fifteen minutes of the game. After that, I un-installed it from my Xbox enough of that puerile garbage. Not much later in the game, the sexual references made another appearance, in the form of a joke about someone's name (Richard Hardon = "Dick Hardon, and they named a tower after him, yuk yuk"). The references to drinking and hooking up were a bit much, but when they got to the beach and started playing a version of Truth or Dare and asked the main character who she'd have sex with (I refused to answer the question), I knew that I'd made a mistake buying the game.Ī couple of minutes later, one of the characters spoke of being in a drug-induced stupor and tonguing someone's anal orifice.
I started playing this with my 13 year-old daughter, unfortunately without doing my homework on it.
