Little Nightmares II

I honestly cannot pick which is better, the first or the second. They're both creepy and they're both very unpredictable. But you know what, that's what makes both these games so unique. Little Nightmares II takes the 3D indie horror gaming to a whole new level. I might as well begin with how unpredictable the story can be. This time, we got Mono and Six teaming up and have to face the scary monsters in town. And that exactly takes a step of the social commentary on sad reality. The graphics are not only creepier as ever, but also very exciting in terms of the detail when it comes to the background. And the gameplay is very challenging in a great way. It demonstrates how the game really wants to play around with all the monsters we would encounter by either being chased or even fight back. If you like the first Little Nightmares, you will definitely enjoy this one too. But I also recommend to prepare on what you will expect when playing this game. Like the first game, it will be creepy and play out its horror themes. Seeing how the games get progressively scarier and creepy, this tells me that the next installment is going to be even creeper when that comes out next year.

The first game was great, the second even better. Every second of gameplay is like a gift unwrapping, you don't know what to expect but you know it's going to be amazing, and guess what, it was. A mentally terrifyingly pleasant experience all the way to the end. The fact six is back makes everything that much more better. I also highly recommend this game to anyone who is a horror fan & definitely recommend playing the first one before this one if you have not. Thank you Tarsier Studios and Bandai Namco for creating the world of little nightmares

Little Nightmares 2 delivers a great atmospheric gaming environment filled with spooky ambience and thrilling environments. Much like the first instalment, this game delivers a cold and unforgiving environment. And underneath the surface of the gothic art style, there is a layer of mysterious backstory.

The story is a simple tale of a young boy named Mono, accompanied by Six (the first game's protagonist) trying to survive the brutal world they live in and find a safe place.

The gameplay is still quite clunky in places, especially with the pretty clumsy combat feature. However the physical limitations of the game and your characters only make you feel more vulnerable and in danger within the world. So in a sense it ads to the experience when you know surviving is harder.

The new environments are just as creepy as ever with 6 unique locations in the game. Each monster has a pretty spooky, creative design and fits the mood of the game. And the sheer size and scope is a step up from the first game.

The music is on par with the first soundtrack. It's haunting yet beautiful. Simple and effective. Best of all it compliments the game, adding mystique and builds the story with atmosphere. The simplicity in the music brings a child like sense of wonder that accompanies the characters through the story. And then some tracks just fill your heart with dread. Some songs just make the adrenaline flow in the more dire points of the game.

Not only is the game beautiful, it's also incredibly fun. Containing many hidden collectables, humorous achievement trophies, and some callbacks to the previous game. The game never feels stale and offers us a lot in a short amount of time. Each level progresses brilliantly.

Some of the downsides are the games short length and again the stiff controls at points. With a game as captivating as LN2, it's easy to indulge in the experience. But with the game's run time only between 5-6 hours, the time it can seem a bit brief. Less is indeed more but for me 5 hours isn't long enough. I think it could of had another level. But it's better to have 5 great chapters rather than anything that can be perceived as filler. In this case the game leaves us wanting more rather than waiting for it to end. The game is also very replay-able if not for the fun trophies and the cool hat collection.

Some further minor upgrades from the first Little Nightmares are the better checkpoint loading, nicer camera work, more challenging gameplay and fewer AI issues. So overall the experience is a lot more polished.

I love this game a lot. I've played to 100% completion but still want to play it some more so it's definitely worth an extra play through.

'Little Nightmares II (2020)' is an atmospheric and enigmatic puzzle-platformer that's as creepy as it is enjoyable. Because of certain aspects of its story which I won't spoil here, the game can easily be played without having played its predecessor (which is how I experienced it). Its story is surprisingly compelling considering that there isn't a single line of dialogue. It's simple but effective. The piece conveys its ambiguous narrative without holding your hand, which actually makes for a very satisfying experience. Its ending is fantastically frustrating and downbeat; it's actually the perfect note on which to end. The gameplay consists of puzzles, traversal challenges and stealth segments, usually all at the same time. It's more-or-less a side-scroller, even though you can move away from and closer to the screen, as it were. It feels surprisingly fluid, though the controls are ever-so-slightly clunky and you can get stuck on geometry quite easily. The title just drops you right into its events and forces you to fend for yourself, only occasionally interrupting with a tutorial message when an obscure new mechanic comes into play. The experience never feels frustrating, though, because it saves very frequently. It's a little annoying how much trial and error is involved, especially when the thing throws something at you that you couldn't possibly predict, but this doesn't detract from the overall experience as you immediately respawn not too far from where you met your demise. The game has several collectibles (one type of which leads to an extended 'secret' ending) that are incredibly well hidden. In fact, they're a little too well hidden at times. Still, it's entertaining to try and find them all. They add a bit more value to the relatively short story, although I still managed to finish the entire thing to 100% in around five-and-a-half hours. The length isn't an issue, at least for me, because the affair is so entertaining. Its aesthetics are spot on, with several disquieting enemies and a generally gloomy vibe, and its gameplay is really engaging, especially during its more exciting segments. The story, too, is unexpectedly affecting; you'll really care about your player character and his mysterious new friend by the time you reach the thing's conclusion. In the end, this is a distinct and well-achieved little title. It's great. I'll be playing the first game very soon. 8/10.

One of the best horror game of all time. My personal No.1 thou. The story, the music, the environment, the feelings, everything just so perfect. This game leaves you with so many questions when you end it. This game gets you like you have experienced something in real life not just in game because it will get you emotionally and psychologically. And it's all because of it's deep story, it's emotional soundtracks, and it's wonderful environment. Also as for being a part 2 to Little Nightmares 1, it's just perfect. Everything just fits as it should be. The people who have played Little Nightmares 1 before playing Little Nightmares 2 have the complete experience and waiting for Little Nightmares 3 as well. I feel lucky to play this game because you know it's very hard to find 10/10 games.
