Improved Load Times
Oxenfree 2: Lost Signals Features
No matter the game, long load times are always going to be frustrating, as it takes away from the time you get to enjoy the experience. Oxenfree is especially guilty of this, sometimes taking upwards of a minute to load in new screens.
This wouldn’t be as much of an issue if it weren’t for the fact that Oxenfree has you transitioning between large areas pretty often, tasking you with exploring in order to solve the many puzzles spread throughout the island.
There were so many instances where you explored the island’s many paths only to realize you’d either gone the wrong way or had already been to this spot, causing you to turn around into a few long loading screens.
While Oxenfree 2: Lost Signals should be able to avoid this issue if it comes out on new consoles like the Xbox Series X|S and PS5 thanks to their improved hardware, the game is currently only slated for Nintendo Switch and PC. Considering the former of those two had a lot of complaints from fans regarding long load times in the first game, it surely needs to be a priority for the next game in the series.
