Lost Records: Bloom & Rage part 1 review: An unforgettable nostalgia trip

Put your Goosebumps books away, pack your CD Walkman, and feed your Tamagotchi before you go because Lost Records: Bloom & Rage will take you on a ’90s journey you will never forget.

Before exploring what makes Lost Records: Bloom & Rage unique, let’s get the inevitable Life Is Strange comparisons out of the way. Both games are female-led narrative adventures with stories headed up by young people who uncover something unusual they can’t explain. And that’s where the similarities end. As much as I loved Life Is Strange, this latest immersive story from Don’t Nod Studios has enraptured me, heart and soul, and I guarantee it will do the same for any other ’90s kid.
