    little hope is really average with meh scenes and EXTREMELY slow walking. Controls are clunky and laughably funny to use, doesnt feel like you are controlling a modern game when playing it. The characters walk in the slowest way i have ever seen in a video game, they are literally not human they walk like they are 500kg.

The characters walk in the slowest way i have ever seen in a video game, they are literally not human they walk like they are 500kg. Played this with a friend in co op mode and the game's reliance on quick time events and cutscenes really started to piss us off. The jumpscares felt like they were just ways to keep us awake while we were playing the game because most of the time it was really just watching cutscenes, walking around, and pressing circle or triangle at the right second. THAT IS NOT GAMEPLAY. The story was also massively convoluted and after playing for quite awhile i still do not understand who the main character is and what is their objective. It was funny at times when my friend was really excited to kill an enemy and we were both hyped to see him take that shot, but he ended up exploding one of the main characters' heads as a plot twist. Play when drunk with friends over at your house because you wont remember anything from the game anyways.… Expand

    The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope turned out to be much better than Man of Medan. This is felt in the first hours of the game. Little Hope is much more interesting and exciting, although it still can't scare at all.

Secondly, I would like to note the attention to detail, as the characters of the XVII century say. It's a small detail, but how it adds atmosphere. Yes, Little Hope is a passing project that has never been the Until Dawn level. But Supermassive Games is moving in the right direction. I personally liked Little Hope, especially the ending. It is partly expected for this genre, but again remembering the ending of Man of Medan, you realize that everything could have been worse.… Expand

    Сам сюжет мне понравился, но обескуражила концовка и её вариативности, что сделала её по сравнению с следующей и прошлой игрой, просто не реиграбельной. Итого, на один раз игра на 9 баллов, а на реиграбильность 7.

    Una densa capa de niebla cubre la noche en un pueblo que parece abandonado y en el que, desde que ponen el pié en sus límites notan que pasan cosas raras. Pronto averiguan que no pueden salir, están atrapados, por lo que tienen que atravesar el pueblo para buscar ayuda. Una aventura en la que deberemos tratar de conseguir salvar a todos los miembros de nuestro grupo mientras averiguamos que demonios está pasando allí.

    Excelente capítulo de esta serie de terror en la que en cuanto a mecánicas no hay ninguna novedad con respencto a la anterior entrega, ‘Man of Medan’. Una propuesta para pasar miedo y terminar en un fin de semana.    … Expand

    Nice atmosphere. Nice graphics. Mediocre sound when vlume goes up 100% during jumpscares.
    Casual controls.
    A series of games where jumpscare lose its meaning. The biggest flaw of the series. Repeatable, boring, useless jumpscares.

    I love Supermassive's games, but this one, for me, is very forgettable due to the fact that the story was made to feel very unimportant based on the ending, and the actions of the characters during the game seemed very strange at times to the point that it ruined the immersion for myself.

    Very nice and interesting story absolutely ruined by terrible interface and QTE management. Screamers are also bad as that's the last and cheapest thing you should use to scare the player. On PS5 the game stucks on loading close to the last scene, and even the reinstall or other decision before that doesn't help.

    Played it back to back to Man of Medan. While Medan was new, this part is a more Story driven and most important scary bit for me personally. Still a lot of bugs and annoying stuff. German voice acting is horrible :)

    I like the theme of the game. The mystery of the town,the fog, the unease on every step of the way. Definitely the game for the Silent Hill fans. The town looks beautiful. Story is good and the length of the game is perfect. Just as it should be. I recommend you to play it with a good headset, so you can enjoy the game 100%.

Thus rendering some choices weightless, your choices merely annoyed another character or made another character your friend but didn't change the story path.… Expand

    My favorite title from the series so far. Great story, good caracters, great graphics and really scary. Way better than Man of Medan(6/10), better than House of Ashe(7/10). Great game for 10-20$.

    It's alright. It's not on par with Until Dawn, but it is better than Man of Medan to me.

    When I first played through this at launch, I was indifferent. I replayed it again recently and... yeah. I can comfortably say I like this better than Man of Medan. The story is interesting, and I appreciate the direction they took it. The boat environments in Medan got old to me - quick. The woods    It's alright.

Your mileage may vary in that regard.

    The main issue with these games typically, for me, is the characters. The pack in this game is equally meh to Man of Medan. I like how they handled characters in Until Dawn, there was a lot of variation, a lot to like, and a lot to (intentionally) dislike. They really had you do different things and go down varied paths with all the characters. The first two games in this new anthology don't do those things nearly as well as Until Dawn did. A solid experience nonetheless.    … Expand

    This part is a little better than the previous.

    Here we have a much more elaborated optimization, very nice graphic an visual options. The developers worked good about many little details of the game like QTE and the whole engine looks more attractive. Also the characters became a way more rememberable than before. The story itself is also more interesting than the story of the ship.    This part is a little better than the previous.

    But these are still silly-acting people, who speak to each other in a very strange and silly way, so you cannot take everything seriously.

    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!
