[PS5] Lost Records: Bloom and Rage – Tape 2: A Review

Alright, imagine this: you fire up your PS5 and bam, there it is—Lost Records: Bloom and Rage, Tape 2. Like, are you even ready for this? I was so stoked after Tape 1, couldn’t wait to see where Swann and the crew were headed next.

So, the whole game’s this wild ride through time, right? One minute you’re hanging in the 90s, and then whoosh—you’re back in the 2020s. It’s all about untangling these crazy memories with Swann’s camera. You’ve got these timelines zigzagging and you’re trying to piece things together. Somehow, they throw in trophies with clever puzzle bits too. A little souvenir for your brain, if that makes any sense.

There’s this list of badges to snag—like 44 bronze, 2 silver, and 3 gold. If you’re a trophy hunter, it’s like catnip. Oh, and there’s this quirky bit where you call a secret number during the game. Random, right? But it’s part of the charm, I guess. Don’t worry, I’m not spilling any secrets here. Just know, a full Platinum awaits if you’re into that.

And, I’m sidetracking—where was I? Oh yeah, the vibe of Tape 2, it’s turbocharged compared to the first one. You’re already in the groove with Swann, Autumn, Nora, and Kat, so things move quicker. Seriously, it’s like a dance where your choices spin the tale to an ending that sticks. Goosebumps before credits roll and all that.

For $39.99, it’s a deal, I think? Not trying to sell it, just saying it packs a punch on the PS5. Anyway, that’s my take. Also, shoutout to DON’T NOD for handing over the game copy—I’m just here vibing with it.
