Review Afterparty (Switch) - A Hellishly Good Night Out, Without The Hangover
Hell yes
Night School made a relatively big splash with its 2016 debut Oxenfree, a ghostly story-based video game that set new standards on how dialogue can be executed in a game. The follow up to that title was always going to be an interesting one, then, as the question would be how Night School would iterate or, potentially, break away from the...

I don’t know if the reviewers actually played the switch version.
The graphics are just horrid with so much jagged edges and blending issues it takes you right out of what should be an immersive experience.
The follow up to Oxenfree is nothing like it should be.
The conversation mechanic is worse, in that you don’t interrupt people if you press a dialogue option early, which was a nice realistic approach Oxenfree took.
The story is also much slower and the levels are very isometric. No depth or even height to play with.
I don’t know what they did, but this follow up is a huge step backwards.
Avoid at all costs.
1 Star.
