    Otra historia que te marca, con unos gráficos muy originales y una banda sonora muy acertada. Con una atmósfera también muy opresiva en algunos momentos, te lo hace pasar mal. Estaría bien el modo dos jugadores cooperativo. Un must, hay que jugarlo igual que su primera parte.

    No, seriously, this little dude controls like a damn freighter. Who thought agility and tight *that* tight were a good idea? Shame, because the foundation was incredible. The gameplay execution just not so much.    … Expand

    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

    The art is simply beautiful, it also rescues the "fixed cameras" very well, making it clear that they are not something obsolete.

    It's a very succesful successor to the first game. One thing I like about these games is that they manage to raise the level of everything (atmosphere, music, gameplay, story) as you progress through the game. And in the end you are left speechless, trying to tie everything together to make sense of what happened.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have just finished the second game and oh my . The first game was incredible but this takes it up a notch . All the villains provoke fear into the player and the characters of Mono And Six are great. The ending where Six betrays you (mono) and lets go of your hand shocked me . And the thing about mono turning into the villain and it all being a time loop is just incredible . What a game I really hope a third instalment in the series is released at somepoint before 2025 . Incredible!… Expand

    So, I really liked the first Little Nightmares. i didn't feel it quite lived up to my expectations, but I still thoroughly enjoyed it. Therefore, I decided to play the second one too, and my god, this has been one of my favorite gaming experiences ever, along with both The Last of Us games and Marvel's Spider-Man. It took every aspect I liked or loved from the first, improved upon them,So, I really liked the first Little Nightmares. i didn't feel it quite lived up to my expectations, but I still thoroughly enjoyed it. Therefore, I decided to play the second one too, and my god, this has been one of my favorite gaming experiences ever, along with both The Last of Us games and Marvel's Spider-Man. It took every aspect I liked or loved from the first, improved upon them, and added more stuff that I loved. Gameplay is tense, fun and at points, very challenging. My only problem with the gameplay, and the game as a whole, is that many mechanics were hard to understand and it would at times be hard to grab ledges. Other than that, I was treated to gorgeous visuals, beautifully horrific designs, an amazing soundtrack and an overall masterpiece and a game I would highly recommend! I could go on and on, but I not here to waste your time. A pretty close to perfect game that I would highly recommend!… Expand

    If you are looking for a horror game that makes you think, that scares you with original ideas and that makes you empathize with its characters, even when they do not say a single word, you can't miss Little Nightmares II.

    The deaths caused by the controls being not as responsive as we’d like may annoy, but there’s a whole world out there you’re going to want to feast your eyes on. [Issue#186, p.79]

    Despite some rather annoying trial-&-error sections and puzzles which feel a bit too easy, Little Nightmares 2 managed to excite us from start to finish. Visuals are great, sound design is awesome, gameplay offers a fair amount of variety and the environmental story-telling again works excellent. Sadly this scary adventure is already over after roughly seven hours.
