    This is just boring. I'm not even sorry to say that i didn't enjoy this game. Maybe people who generally don't care about horror movies or games will like it, but i'm hardcore horror games fan (dead space, silent hill 2 etc) and to me this was just extremely meh.

    This supposed to be a joke? This is supposed an horror game? or Parody of horror? So boring.

    Weak, predictable "been there, done that" video games that tries to be horror, but is never actually scary.

    I’ve very much enjoyed the game. The dark and foggy setting has given it a Silent Hill feel. There are definitely a few scares along the way and as far as the story goes I thought it was very good. The thought the characters were much better compared to the last. Well done to everyone involved, I look forward to the next.

    Very good horror game, loved the atmosphere and the soundtrack was beautiful. The story was much better then Man of Medan and Until Dawn. Amazing characters and twist ending too!

    An ordinary game , it's not bad,but, i still prefer the first. the story is better, but the characters not, they don't have charisma.

    Had tons of fun playing this over halloween, having played Until Dawn and being an horror movie fan, in my opinion, asking Little Hope to be more like Until Dawn is the same as asking The Haunting of Hill House to be more like Scream.

Although it's game, Little Hope gameplay and story telling are tied to its horror sub genre, leaning towards trauma, redemption and psychological horror, while Until Dawn it's a classic cabin in the woods story. So If you like slow paced horror that plays on trauma I definitely recommend this game. Acting is okay, Will Poulter is actually really good on his multiple characters and they feel distinct, game play is a bit tuned down when comparing with Until Dawn which again I think is intended as this game leans more towards atmosphere than action.… Expand

    I love supermassive games, they play out like an interactive horror/ thriller movie, and I was so hyped about the next instalment Little Hope, great to see Pip Torrens return as the curator I cant imagine anyone else playing him he does a superb job again, and this one stars Will Poulter as one of the main characters and he also does a very good job, very impressive voice acting for aI love supermassive games, they play out like an interactive horror/ thriller movie, and I was so hyped about the next instalment Little Hope, great to see Pip Torrens return as the curator I cant imagine anyone else playing him he does a superb job again, and this one stars Will Poulter as one of the main characters and he also does a very good job, very impressive voice acting for a certain part he plays, the game as they always do looks stunning, they obviously have some very talented designers working for them, the town of Little Hope looks great with some very eerie/ stunning looking locations and a special mention to the monsters/ demons they look amazing its easy to tell so much work/ effort and thought has gone into them, I was shocked at the writing of the game with its many twists and layers again it stands out a mile they have alot of very talented people, if the thought of a interactive horror with many twists/ outcomes and deaths lol sounds good to you, you will love this, I cant wait for House of Ashes!

    В управлении (передвижении игрока) игра не подвисает, в отличии от РС версии. Иногда непонятные диалоги в русской локализации. Странная анимация лиц у персонажей. В общем не «Detroit: become human” но мне понравилось. Советую.

    The game is an improvement from Man of Medan and almost reaches Until Dawn. Good characters, nice plot twists and story. Buy it and try it yourself!

    OK, let be clear that this is a pretty terrible game in all the way that counts; the graphics are off (uncanny valley galore), the music/sound is meh and the story/ is absolutely atrocious.

    Absolutely awful game. Seems like it was made in a hurry, not enough budget, not enough creativity, and NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE LOOKING FOR BUGS BEFORE LETTING PEOPLE SPEND MONEY ON THIS GARBAGE GAME! I think an orphaned monkey living with elephants could make a better game. Don’t buy.

    graphics looked pretty good i guess, the jumpscares got old quick. The story is so damn convoluted and the ending felt pointless. No choice really matters in the end. Maybe if you play it and get a different ending you might leave satisfied, but I have no desire to replay it

    Little hope brings you a decent story, lots of glitches and sub par scare scenes. I give credit to the studio but this one of their lineup is probably at the bottom. Game had alot of holes and left me scratching my head at the end, Entertaining game but lack of anything else. Wait for it to come out on sale.

    I like Little Hope more than Man of Medan. Interesting story with a few jump scares, a perfect game for a Halloween night.
    What dropped out the score is the fact that some dialogues seem out of place here and there and another thing is that around half of the story the game crashed, corrupted my saves and I had to go back from the beginning.

    I found the story to be gripping right from the prologue. I really enjoyed the game. I found the characters to be more interesting and I felt they were well performed across the board.

It looks amazing and I had no technical issues while playing. Like I said I enjoyed the story and found it to be more of a mystery game than a straight up horror game. I found that the twist was earned (once I pieced the clues together and after a second play through)and made sense. Whether others like it or not is subjective, but I understand that people won’t like the twist. But I found the story to be great up until the twist. My problem with Man of Medan’s twist was that I figured it out immediately during the prologue so that ruined the experience. Not the twist itself, but when I learned of it. I liked that this happens at the end and made me think about the story again in a new light. There is a lot of walking around and they could do to streamline it a bit - or at least put more interactions along the way. All in all I liked it a lot and would recommend.… Expand

    Imagine a choose-your-own-adventure story. Now imagine that instead of deciding which page to turn to, you click a dialogue option on a screen. That’s it. That’s the whole **** game.

    sometimes you get to look around and click on objects!! WOW COOL

    storyline was convoluted and pointless. graphics were not impressive. piece of **** **** game. "

    Man of Medan looks inferior to Until Dawn but has more variations and distint cinematic endings, Little Hope is way more inferior than Man of Medan.
    I liked the prologue and epilogue (despite that such revelations was already use in horror and psychologic suspense) but the story of the five characters wandering off in the ghost town and the flashbacks of 1692 are so boring and unbearable,    Man of Medan looks inferior to Until Dawn but has more variations and distint cinematic endings, Little Hope is way more inferior than Man of Medan.

    This second installment of the Dark Anthology was realesed 14 months after Man of Medan and the third installment House of Ashes, they're saying it will be out next year, means that the franchise will go downhill way more down than Disney Star Wars because the principal issue i believe it's about the time and routine they put. I was planning to buy the 8 games of the franchise but if this is routine then i reject it, i will buy them if every game is out at least every 2 years each one, no less.
    And if House of Ashes, despite being a out only a year after turns out to be up in match with Man of Medan, then i will feel even more outraged 'cause means that Little Hope was a secondary work and yet it's worth 30$ like Man of Medan when should have a lower price for a lower profession of which they showed in Medan and Ashes.    … Expand

    What distinguishes Little hope from horror movies is that you don’t get to be annoyed about clichés or numerous bad decisions by its characters. No it is not a good idea to wander off alone when a killer is on the loose, nor should you explore that creepy basement by yourself. Yet, in this game, only one person is responsible for his bad judgement: you.

    Little Hope is a return to form for Supermassive Games. After the somewhat slow and dry Man of Medan, Little Hope arrives with a narrative audacity and assured performances that place The Dark Pictures Anthology squarely on the top of the interactive filmic adventure game heap. With a rich, complex, and wickedly surprising narrative, Little Hope is well worth playing, despite some awkward moments and transitions.

    Little Hope is a fantastic horror experience that really shows what Supermassive can do with the Dark Pictures series. Though it's a short experience and it exhibited a crash during review, it's a fantastically crafted thrilling drama with amazing characters who are genuinely fun to interact with. If this kind of game is something that seems interesting, don't pass up on this experience!
