#gaming lovely palate cleanser between Bond and the upcoming Resynced jaunt 🏴‍☠️ Lost Records: Bloom & Rage was a 👌🏻 narrative story that I enjoyed a lot - a few small notes but still tears in my eyes by the end. Games like this still being made reinforces my hope that it's not all basic AI slop yet 🤞🏻

We finished it, and now I'm sad 🥲 Lost Records was so good and it really twisted the knife in my heart. 10/10, would be destroyed again We needed a pick-me-up after that, so we raided out to @vee-kitzora.bsky.social for some Pokemon Champions! Thanks to everyone who joined 💜

Lost Records: Bloom and Rage is phenomenal. It's like a sad lesbian Stand By Me for the 90s. It's by Don't Nod, who did Life is Strange. If you loved that, you'll be RUINED by this. I'm just a puddle of emotions rn. Still n-b, but this game's gonna crack a few eggs 😉 Also: songs by Ruth Radelet!!

After taking waaay too long to finish Lost Records: Bloom & Rage, I am finally through. The game did what few games could: It made me scream at the game in anticipation and emotion. Not Dark Souls fight emotion, but story emotion. Well done. Beautiful. My choices sucked though, everyone left me.

Finally playing Lost Records: Bloom and Rage (which I pre-ordered and then proceded not to play for a year) and I need Don't Nod to make little, gay, narrative-adventure games forever (Especially because I suspect Square-Enix/Deck Nine are done with Life is Strange)

Bloom & Rage.... I've played lots of amazing heroines - Aloy, Kassandra, Ellie, Ciri, Shadowheart... the list goes on - but I've never related so hard to one as much as I relate to Swann, with her autistic-coded blend of awkwardness and inner strength. More characters like this please!
