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

Whoa, so guess what? The second part of Lost Records: Bloom and Rage from DON’T NOD is out for the PS5. Ready to dive in? Let’s see what’s up with this Lost Records: Bloom and Rage – Tape 2 thing.

So, there’s this age gate thingy — had to pause and enter my birth date to watch a video. Old-school, right? Anyway, back to the game. I loved the first Tape, so naturally, I was all hyped to jump into part two. We’ve got this cool time-travel vibe again — hopping between the 1990s and the 2020s with Swann, Autumn, Nora, and Kat. Oh, and don’t worry, I won’t spill the beans on what went down at the end of Tape 1.

And the gameplay? You’re back to using Swann’s camera to capture those special memories — kind of like connecting the dots in their lives. It’s a neat way they link it to those shiny trophies, too.

Speaking of trophies, if you’re into that sort of thing, Tape 2’s got ya covered. There’s a whole bunch — 44 Bronze, 2 Silver, 3 Gold. Crazy, right? You’ll be chasing after them like a cat with a laser pointer. Plus, some fun challenges like finding hidden images or phoning obscure numbers — little things that make you go, “Wait, what?”

The story? It picks up right where we left off, so BAM — right into the action. No spoilers, promise. But, I will say, if you liked Tape 1, you’re in for a treat with this one. Everything feels snappier and faster, maybe ’cause we already know the main squad and a few side faces.

So, the choices you make? They totally affect where you end up before the end credits. It’s kinda like a choose-your-own-adventure book, but on your PS5. It’s retailing at $39.99, which isn’t too bad for a time-traveling escapade.

Almost forgot — minor disclaimer coming your way: I played this on a PS5 copy from DON’T NOD. There you have it! Go ahead, give it a whirl.
