    This feels more like DLC for the original. They've really skimped on the "creature" segments, none of which are as sophisticated or memorable as in the first game. Plus the game mechanics are pretty terrible. This is a game where you die mostly due to bad control input. I don't remember that being such an issue in the first one.

Near the end there's a very tired feeling maze mechanic that felt straight up lazy, and borrowed from the 90s. As a fan of the first game, this one is being vastly overrated.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game has forced Death loops even on easy mode because it's small size(5 gigabytes),the physics are medicore, it's always pitch dark and the ending is the worst possible it could be… Expand

    There is a puzzle near the end of the game involving a corridor and a number of doors which must each be entered in a particular order. I'll be frank: this puzzle would not be out of place in the dullest, hackiest point-and-click adventure game from 10 years ago. That's the problem with Little Nightmares II.

For every beautiful, fascinating moment, there are a dozen sequences so shockingly rote that I have to wonder . . . what happened, developers? Did everybody experience a divorce simultaneously? Is it something in the water? Half of this game was made with love and the other half with ice cold indifference.… Expand

    Сказать, что я ужасно недоволен игрой - ничего не сказать. Игра никак не связана с предыдущей частью. В плане того, что это приквел, нет никаких намёков, никаких подсказок про получение шестой силы, ни про то, как она оказалась в Чреве. Искусственно растянутый гемплей доставляет огромное количество неудобств. Перенос предметов из одной точки в другую настолько замедлен и настолько скучен,Сказать, что я ужасно недоволен игрой - ничего не сказать. Игра никак не связана с предыдущей частью. В плане того, что это приквел, нет никаких намёков, никаких подсказок про получение шестой силы, ни про то, как она оказалась в Чреве. Искусственно растянутый гемплей доставляет огромное количество неудобств. Перенос предметов из одной точки в другую настолько замедлен и настолько скучен, что мне стоило огромных усилий сидеть и проходить до конца это "шедевр".На первых парах ты поражаешься красотой локаций, детальностью прорисовки (если в настройках ты достаточно выкрутил графику). Но это всё пропадает в середине игры. Больше всего бросается в глаза убогость одежды и лица доктора, который появляется не на долго, но своей модельной убогостью портит впечатление. Концовка вообще поражает своей тупостью и странной сложностью. Кстати про баланс: его нету. Монстры тебя могу увидеть еле повернувшись в твою сторону, те места, где в прошлой части Шестая допрыгивала сама, сейчас требуется её помощь, ведь наша Героиня в одиночку беспомощная. Я всё понимаю, в первой части вышло прекрасное DLC построенное на подобном взаимодействиями с гномами. Но зачем навязывать это. Шестая - самый поломанный персонаж в игре. Она может застрять в дверном проём, может занять место под столом так, что вас не пустит под него, и вас поймает монстр. Это особенная тема, которая напрочь убивает желание проходить игру. По итогу всего вышесказанного, я хочу сказать, что у второй части Маленьких кошмаров был заметно больше бюджет, чем у первой части. В первую часть приятно играть не из-за графики, не из-за гемплея, а из-за души, которую вложили авторы в своё творение. От второй же части пахнет тухлятиной. Создаётся ощущение, что они сделали игру ради того, чтобы было. Лишь бы денег побольше набрать. Я по прежнему обожаю первую часть данной серии, и это ничему не изменить, но мне откровенно стыдно говорить о второй части и даже смотреть на неё, зная её убогости. Под конец хочется выделить, что это лишь моё мнение, и ваше право соглашаться с ним или нет. Играйте в хорошие игры, а для плохих есть рецензии метакритик… Expand

    oyunun fiyatı aşırı yüksek oyunun bitmesi 5 saat bile sürmüyor ayrıca mekanikleri resmen berbat buglı bir bölüm var fiyatını asla hak etmeyen bir oyun oynarkenki bulmacaları kolay fakat parkur kısımları sorunlu

    What Little Nightmares 2 has done, is take all that frustrating half baked mixture of platforming and puzzling from the first game,and intensified the mindless game breaking aggravation of Death by Trial and Error to a point where there is a cut off limit of 4 minute gameplay before smashing the controller repeatedly on a hard surface.
    A lot of work for little reward.

    Doesn't add much compared to the prior game. Controls are very clunky and combat elements are unnecessary because are poorly implemented. Good atmosphere but the execution, especially the movement responsiveness is definitely lacking.

    Brilliant and beautiful atmosphere ruined by disastrous combat sequences. Such a shame.

    I just spent an hour stuck, trying to figure out how to continue. finally gave in and looked online and discovered that a vital object is COMPLETELY MISSING therefore it is impossible for me to continue. This is the last straw, I'm not giving this game any more passes. The game is a broken and buggy mess. I was willing to forgive a lot and recommend this, but now I cannot.

    Really loved the 1st game. I bought the collectors edition for this one. This game is more of the same from the 1st game, but less. Stretched out and unsatisfying ending just to spin up some more time on your playtime. Ending credits are even not skippable. Collectable edition content spoiled me the endboss without even opening the artbook. I am so dissapointed, especially for the ending,Really loved the 1st game.

    Cool atmosphere, BUT... It's an trial and error game with too much physics randomness and bugs..the level design is non-existing and the controls are slow and annoying, which is not cool in a trial and error game where you play parts over and over. It's not a puzzle, not a story - just annoying trial and error..

    The game follows in her predecessor’s footsteps, but many new ideas for puzzles, unique environments and creepy scenes make it a fresh, engaging and surprising experience from start to finish. Everything that worked well in the original Little Nightmares now packs twice the punch. [04/2021, p.60]

    The second game proves to be faithful to its predecessor in terms of lore and atmosphere, and simultaneously manages to break new ground in gameplay. It makes us look forward to further evolution of the series in a potential sequel. [Issue#252, p.48]

    Little Nightmares II captures the fear of a being little in a grey, hostile and oppressive world that is exceptionally built. In a constant game of hide-and-seek, the tension is overwhelming, and you feel the weight of every heartbeat or the desperate gasping of enemies over your shoulder. Unfortunately, it's a short experience, much along the lines of the first in the series, and although it doesn't completely eliminate the weak points, it grabs on to its strong points in a sublime way.
