The Dark Pictures: Little Hope

Real talk, I loved this game. The performers nailed their work, the story fascinated me, and I enjoyed the QOL changes made to the gameplay. I *did* have some issues with the walking mechanic, where my character would suddenly shift direction without my input, but the struggle was minimal.

The main reason I knocked off a few stars on my rating (8/10) was because of the ending. The twist was well integrated into the plot but I felt like it cheapened the more interesting story beats in a way that immediately left a sour taste in my mouth.

Other than wishing for a more fulfilling ending, and minor mechanical glitches, the game was/is well worth it in my book.

While not as good as Until Dawn or even Heavy Rain, this was a huge improvement over Medan. I wanted so hard to like that game because I love the Ashmores, but it was terrible. I didn't know a single actor in this game, but I was able to really dive into their characters. The story telling is 10x better than MoM, and the qte's have been improved.

I will agree with others and say that the jump scares are pretty much nonexistent. In UD, if you had a camera, it would turn on right before a scare, and while for some that cheapened the moment, for me that made me even more tense. I didn't jump once in this game, and I played with all lights off, surround sound, the works.

But overall it is a decent game. The ending surprised me and I actually liked where they went with it. You could probably wait tho until the price drops.

I was surprised to see the HUGE improvement after the glitchy Man of Medan! Still isn't as good as Until Dawn (at least in my opinion) but it felt closer to it than Man of Medan did. Wish the button prompts were a little more harsh though. I never missed one besides 1 at the end where I couldn't aim my gun in time. OVERALL, would definitely recommend! Had no idea where the game was taking me and made me second guess my choices! Can't wait to explore the other paths!

Man of medan and Untill dawn were great games, but this one hit home. It seems like the developers took what experience they had from the two former games and made the best of it. Excellent and clever writing, especially with two players experiencing the game from 2 different perspectives. Second playthrough was just as interesting as the first, with very different outcomes and relationships between the characters. I quite liked the mystery revolving the past and the present, and the game never got boring. It was scary enough, a 6/10 on the Heebie Jeebies - scale, but it is the story and atmosphere that carries the game. It's rare, but i the ending was both interesting and dissapointing at the same time. Although I encountered a few minor bugs , the game played like a breeze.

Loved it

I think Little Hope is okay. The story is really good and better than Man of Medan, but the game has some flaws. I think the story feels a bit slower than Man of Medan, the QTE's are way too easy, easier than Man of Medan and Until Dawn, and it's easier to keep everyone alive towards the end. The ending however was a bit shocking and a little disappointing, and some jumpscares are repetitive and predictable.

Overall, the game looks good and the game does an okay job at jumpscares.
