    GOOSEBUMPS

    BEFORE STARTING:
    Little Nightmares 2 was announced on February 10, 2021; developed by Tarsier Studios and published by Supermassive Games and Bandai Namco. The game was completed 100% on Xbox Series X, with additional graphical improvements compared to the old-gen version.

    TUNING THE TV:
    Little Nightmares 2 begins with a short scene depicting a long corridor with a closed door. The door bears the eye symbol from the first chapter, clearly hinting at the interconnection between the two games, establishing it from the start. In the following few seconds, the player finds themselves controlling a new little character, completely unknown, with a paper bag covering their face. This character doesn't seem to possess any special abilities and moves similarly to Six, the protagonist of the first Little Nightmares. The early stages of the game take place in a large, dark, and evidently inhabited forest. These areas serve as a way for the player to learn the various game mechanics in order to utilize them as soon as possible.

    ESCAPING FROM YOUR SHADOW:
    Little Nightmares 2 combines the simplicity of controls for the main character, including running, grabbing, stealthy walking, and calling, with the complexity and intricacy of puzzles present in different game environments. These puzzles continuously vary throughout the chapters and require strategy and reflexes from players, as well as a good level of stealth to avoid being discovered by enemies. The game is packed with chasing sequences, complex puzzles, enemies with different attack styles, and many platforming sections. The 5 chapters of the game are distinctly divided into completely different areas, each with at least one unique mechanic. Additionally, there are various collectibles ranging from huggable glitch children to wearable hats. It's worth noting the ability to choose which chapters to play. Fortunately, the presence of an allied artificial intelligence doesn't cause problems during stealth sections and manages to provide a sense of tranquility in the darkest levels.

    YELLOW FEAR:
    The art design of this game is stunning, with attention to detail in every aspect, in every moment of the game and in every situation. Each enemy has numerous unique animations based on player interaction. The variety of 3D models in this game is astonishing and, even though they are often repeated, they never give a sense of déjà vu. Furthermore, the attention to detail in the various rooms, which effectively tells a silent story to the player, is always delightful. Finally, the script is the game's highlight and is considered one of the best ever seen in the gaming landscape.

    STATIC SYMPHONY:
    The sound department of Little Nightmares 2 has significantly improved compared to the first title, with a much larger and memorable list of original music. The sound design is well executed in most situations, allowing the player to avoid hidden dangers or to tremble in their seat, hoping not to be caught.
    BUT WHY 9?

    PROS:
    Personally, Little Nightmares 2 is one of the most beautiful and touching horror adventures in the gaming world, with impeccable aesthetics and attention to detail that rival any AAA game. The addition of an ally definitely reduces the anxiety of solitude but adds an infinite number of fantastic interactions, along with the typical hand-in-hand running reminiscent of ICO for PlayStation 2.

    CONS:
    Beside some glitches, which are nearly unavoidable given the vast array of different mechanics, the game is almost perfect. The one detail that prevents it from reaching a 10 lies in the ending, which gives the impression of being rushed, possibly due to the impending release date. The final section of the game explains very little about the past and future world of the game and connects the two console titles in a somewhat hidden manner. Nevertheless, both games are still unforgettable gems.

    RATINGS:
    Gameplay: 10
    Music: 9,5
    Story: 8
    Horror: 9,5

    Druga odsłona skromnej produkcji o wielkim potencjale. To pomyślałem po ukończeniu LN2. Gra zrobiła spory progres pod kwestią wizualną oraz stylistyczną, a przeciwnicy z jakich można spotkać są ciekawsi niż ci w pierwszej części. Dobrze zapamiętałem te serię, przez co czekam na part 3.

    First, a small "lyrical" digression. Or "thoughts out loud." Something like that.

    Usually, when I play something interesting or watch something interesting, I don't write about it, although sometimes I want to.

    First, a small "lyrical" digression. Or "thoughts out loud." Something like that.

    Usually, when I play something interesting or watch something interesting, I don't write about it, although sometimes I want to. Sometimes there are objective reasons like work, but most of the time, the reasons are completely different, like "it's been out for a long time, what's the point of writing about it now," "Who is even interested in my opinion," and "I feel lazy today, I'll do it tomorrow." Even now, as I sit in front of an open document with this text, the thought "Who even needs this?" crosses my mind. Nevertheless, for some reason, I want to talk about this game specifically because it appealed to me and left an impression.

    A summary for those too lazy to read to the end: I personally really liked both parts of Little Nightmares, so if you somehow missed them, just like I did, I highly recommend downloading and catching up.

    If you've read this far, it means you're interested in the details. Here's my account. I completely missed the first part of the series and only found out about it during a Steam giveaway. Free games often just get added to the library and are promptly forgotten, but for some reason, I decided to see what this one was about. And I liked it. It immediately reminded me of Limbo which I associate with the platform game genre because I love that game.

    And indeed, these games are quite similar: a rather dark world, the main character being a child, puzzles, and no dialogues. Of course, there are differences: Little Nightmares, after all, is slightly more colorful (just remember the bright yellow raincoat on the girl), and you can run not only back and forth, which adds some depth to the game, so to speak. The gameplay here is straightforward: you run forward, encounter a puzzle, solve it, and continue running. But this is by no means a downside; on the contrary, it's just what you need after a hard day when you just want to press some buttons. Moreover, human-like creatures occasionally hinder your progress, so at times, you still need to exert some effort. As for the story, I must say that I didn't fully understand everything, and I had plenty of questions throughout the game. For example, who are those little people in hoods who sometimes appear and guide you in the right direction, why do you need to hug them, what is the girl's story, and why does she eat anything that comes her way, why is everyone trying to devour her, and so on. I couldn't find answers on the internet (maybe I didn't search well), but their absence doesn't hinder the enjoyment of what's happening on the screen. And in Limbo, too, much of what was happening was unclear to me, and yet it's one of my favorite games. As for the downsides: the game is very short (it took me just over 3 hours to complete), and it's not particularly scary, although it's not that difficult to frighten me.

    And here enters the second part. Essentially, it doesn't differ from the first; even the girl from the first part remains. But, as is expected from a sequel, in some aspects, it's slightly better: the locations are more extensive, the puzzles are slightly more challenging, and the story is somewhat clearer. And Little Nightmares 2 is scarier than the first part: in some moments, I literally had goosebumps. Completing this part took a bit more time, which I was glad about. What slightly disappointed me was the DLC, which I finished and even understood that it was it.

    There's probably nothing more to add. As I mentioned earlier, if you have the opportunity, just install both parts and play them. Especially if you feel like playing something dark, like Limbo or Inside.

    It probably doesn't quite reach the level of a full-fledged review; it's more like a fairly detailed review. But if it helps someone have a pleasant evening, I'll be happy.

    After quitting the first game, I decided to give this one a chance, hoping it would be different - and I'm so happy I did this.

    This game is amazing. The art direction is so atmospheric. Everything seems soulless and hostile. Every scenario you pass through has bizarre unique elements to it, such as School and residential areas. This also change the gameplay itself, since every area had different villains and enemies. The miss-in-scene is excellent and the cinematography has a good command of angles since everything looks so big and frightening. The mechanics itself seems more responsible, which is amazing.

    Obviously, as with every good horror game, the story does not disappoint. The first 30 minutes of the game are breathtaking and the ending was insane. As the game doesn't give you the answers, you have to figure it out by ourself. This happens in gameplay as well since it rarely tells you what to do - and I love that, cause feels challenging.

    Of course, I can not forget to talk about audio design. Dude, it's truly impressive how good that audio design is. Amazing 3D technology and quality overall. And the OST? Hands down. It still remains in my head after days of beating the game.

    After this stunning experience, I'm now playing the first one again.

    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..

    LN 2 is even better than LN1 in my opinion. It is longer than the previous game (still short lol) but with more shocking events, more sinister monsters, different areas (the forest, the school, the city...). As for gameplay, added combat system is a little bit clumsy and slow but i got used to it after a while. Overall it's still 10/10 for me.

    Truly an awe-inspiring game. The horror atmosphere is what makes this game so good. Puzzles are a delight, not too hard but not brain dead. The only thing is it can be a little clunky to control at times, but then again it's like that on purpose to make the player feel insignificant and weak compared to the monsters.

    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.

    It was much scarier than the first one. But the graphics were even better. I played part 1 on PS4 and part 2 on PC. The PC side seems to have better graphics.

    Little Nightmares II has beautiful levels, cool looking enemies and a couple of excellent horror themes with matching bosses to go with it. This games gets a lot of things right. Visuals, estetics and sound is spot on.
    However, the game suffers from some very badly designed controls leading to many frustrating moments. There are a lot of jumps and twists and turns that will require perfect timing which dose'nt help to forgive that this games control feel awkard. No auto-latch on when approaching a ladder, jumping to higher platform where your suppose to grab the ledge... Why?

    There is a section where you need to point a thing at enemies to freeze them so you can walk by them, this section is truely horrible. How that managed to get an "Ok, lets ship it like this" is beyond me. There are also alot of difficulty spikes, where things go from quite easy to extremly hard, for no good reason. The game also has a bit of a pacing and progression problem, it does'nt feel like there is anything that is being built up to but just a couple of losely connected themes that they built levels around.

    Most things could be forgiven, but the poor controls in a game that is built upon using these controls and require this kind of timing and near-perfect execution from the player is why I just cant recommend it.

    There is a great game here, but it is, unfortunately, burried under some truely awful game control issues...

    Little Nightmares II - '' Second strange horror puzzle game? ''

    So this is the second game. So what intrigued me the most was the detail of the game and the change in atmosphere was big, more than the first game was more color and the second game more gray and dark. So the same camera and several mechanics remained in the game itself (some were replaced). The game itself is interesting with its own story, but the point is that no one explains the story to you, and you have to understand by yourself what is going on and what the purpose of this game is because it is a psychological game. Of course, if you've already played the first series, you can already more easily understand what's going on here. So the level design itself is really more interesting to me than the first game in the series here with more intense puzzles and more action which also interests me. The game itself hasn’t changed very much personally, just the story itself, the details, the design and the theme and so on. What I’ve noticed is that some levels and characters are inspired by others in the game and the game’s character. But from the first part of the game, some of the game’s theme actions seem to be repetitive in this game, but with a modified design. As for the atmosphere itself, the game has quite a more interesting design, more gray and darker. The sounds of the game seemed cheaper to me than in the first part of the game. The essence of the game bugs that had some problems is that sometimes you are killed by an enemy through a wall in the game or as the bot gets stuck. Now when it comes to the minuses, the game still stays bright not as scary and dark as other games, of course we meet in one level in the dark, but this game lacks a scary thing. Of course there was more of everything in this part and the game itself was long, but the point is that something is missing from the game, but you don’t know how to say it.

    So Little Nightmares in my opinion is not much change has become much longer in design, history and so on. But the point is that there seems to be something missing in the game, but you don’t know what or darkness or fear, jump scare. But you don't need much and expect from the Psychological Game. I would dedicate myself to this game 9/10.

    I may have been harsh on it as I played the first game plus the DLC before jumping into this so I may have a more critical eye than if I didn't binge it. The first game was rough both from a gameplay and presentation standpoint, but felt interesting.
    This one is far superior from a graphical and presentation standpoint. From a gameplay standpoint it's really disappointing. Whereas the first game had amazing set pieces, this game shoots itself in the foot by being unforgiving causing you to constantly restart. Run left or right? You took a second to think and the monster got you. You'll get it the next time around and it's not difficult, but you die at every turn completely destroying the tension because that 1 second decision makes all the difference. It replaces a big terrifying run into split scenes of frustration.
    The flashlight is terrible and as is the melee combat, they just don't work. Every section that involved these to progress were an absolute nightmare. You feel unfiltered hatred when not only were you punished because the controls suck but also you get scared while it happens.
    The checkpointing is better than the last one but still is kinda weird.
    Graphics are beautiful for the kind of game that it is.
    In a lot of ways the pacing feels like DLC rather than a sequel, whereas the first built to a chaotic high note this one kind of just moves forward.
    Despite this game technically being better than the first in almost every way, I just loved the first one in a way that didn't resonate with me in this one. Maybe it was the novelty. They've obviously worked really hard on this game though and it shows.

Ancak yanımızda başka karakterin bulunması, tv'lerin içinden geçme ve ışıkla bazı düşmanları durdurma oyuna katılan yeni mekanikler olmuş.

    Görsel kalite, mekan ve karakter tasarımları ince ince işlenmiş. Her karesinde ss almak istedim. Bazı çizimlerle verilen atmosfer oldukça ürperticiydi. Okulda geçen bölümde gerilmedim desem yalan olur. Sinirli öğretmen, öğrencilik anılarımı depreştirdi. Sonraki bölümlerdeki tv ekranına dalıp giden ama tv kapanınca sağa sola saldıran insan betimlemeleri günümüz ekran ve içerik bağımlılığının yüzeysel ama etkili bir eleştirisi olmuş.

    Elimizdeki fenerle üzerimize gelen düşmanları durdurduğumuz hastane bölümleri bana Lights Out filmini anımsattı. Oyunda en çok gerildiğim anlar bunlardı.
    Oyun boyunca kritik anlarda oldukça etkileyici şeyler yapıyoruz. Bunların bazıları meşru müdafaa olsa da bazıları ahlaki olarak sorgulanabilir şeyler. Çocuk karakterle böyle şeyler yapmak şok etkisi yaratıyor.
    Oyunun sonuna çok ölüp bitenler olmuş ama sürprizlerden birisini tahmin etmiştim. Buna rağmen hikayeden pek bir şey anlamadım. İlk oyunu hatırlamadığım için olabilir ama oyun hikayesini çok da açıklamıyor zaten. Teorilere açık bir anlatım tercih etmişler. Bu bilinmez hava, gerilimin artmasını sağlamış.

    Müzikler sonlarda biraz baysa da genel ses tasarımın çok beğendim. Korkuyu veren önemli etmenlerden birisiydi.

    Oyunun son bölümünde birbirinin aynısı odalarda yakalandığımız paradokslar hakikaten çok sinir bozucuydu. Oralarda feci öfkelendim. Bir türlü çözemedim.

    Inside daha iyiydi ama bu oyundaki gerilim ve korku dozu bu tarz oyunlardın hiçbirisinde yok.

    Genel olarak oyunu fena bulmadım. Şimdi hikayeye dair teoriler için youtube'a gidiyorum.

    In better games, the Monsters slow down or accelerate depending on your accuracy to the solution.

    It feels as if the game trying to make you fail unless you have a definite answer to the problem and it does not care if you figured the solution on the fly. I would enjoy it much more if it allowed me to survive as i have found the solution on time.

    The devs can check the much better game "inside" first scene with the dog. If you know exactly what to do, you barely get away from the dog but if you hesitated for a half second the game compensates and blends the dogs animations to a slower one yet accelerates again to create the "barely got away" feeling.

    -> Good point: The puzzles are buildable, headache and weird. It is very creative game play. Some play confused for half an hour. Our partners can work smoothly like a real player not a bot (but she is bot). Most importantly, the game is very long game play.
    I have to compliment that the team has done a very good job. Especially in connection with the story that’s why the two main characters are no need to talk in sentences because we can observe from the character's gestures and actions. Moreover, they know at what point the players will express their emotions towards that event. There were many times when I had to cry out "Hey!" "What" "Really?" that invites us to follow their adventures from start to finish. I think this is the best game of 2021 for me and I recommend you to try to play it.

    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.
