Saved int always returns 0 when loaded [C#]

Hello everybody, as the the title suggests, every time i load up the oldHighScore int in my code, it always returns 0, and i can’t for the life of me figure out why the heck it’s doing it. It’s probably obvious but after 2 hours of trying to find the problem i still can’t find out why. Does anybody know what the problem is?

CODE:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary;
using System.IO;

public class SaveLoad : MonoBehaviour
{
    public int newHighScore;
    public int oldHighScore;

    void Awake()
    {
        //DontDestroyOnLoad(GameObject);
    }

    void SaveGame()
    {
        Transform otherScript = GameObject.Find("gameSystems").transform;
        newHighScore = otherScript.GetComponent<gameSystems>().score;

        LoadGame();
        if (newHighScore >= oldHighScore) ///if the new high score is higher than the old one
        {
            PlayerPrefs.SetInt("HighScoreInt", newHighScore); ///Sets HighScoreInt in playerprefs with the newHighScore int variable
        }
    }

    void LoadGame() 
    {
        oldHighScore = PlayerPrefs.GetInt("HighScoreInt"); /// Sets oldHighScore int with the HighScoreInt playerprefs thingamajigg
        Debug.Log(oldHighScore);
    }
}

It looks like you have to call PlayerPrefs.Save() after you set the int, unless it’s being saved elsewhere. The changes to your preferences file won’t be saved otherwise, so when you load up, it’ll still be empty.
