Little Nightmares II

The main problem is the combat. It's extremely clunky and unforgiving. One mistake and you may have to start the scene from the beginning. In the most annoying one (actually the only really annoying one), you will have to run back from the checkpoint to the previous room, get a weapon, drag the heavy weapon up to where you respawned and then attempt the challenge again. I couldn't for my life understand why they would add a section like that in an atmospheric adventure/puzzle/horror game. It's so out of place. Even mechanically. Since the game is something inbetween 2 and 3D you will have to calculate angles and depth precisely for every attack, based on very limited visual input. One miss and you are dead and have to go back to that previous room, drag the heavy weapon again. If at least the weapon would spawn next to you, it'd be fine. But now, it just wastes your time and smashes the immersion factor to bits. Ah, and if you do complete the part and just run out of the room, there is a trap by the door that will kill you. I can say, with a 100% guarantee, that this section is the most poorly designed I've ever played. It's not even entirely clear if you have to use the weapon or not. Since it always spawned in the previous room, I thought that perhaps it was not to be used and that I should dodge the enemies. It took me perhaps 10 minutes to be able to pass through so it doesn't sound too bad. 10 minutes wasted is nothing. I don't care. The main problem for me is that by now I just feel disgusted by the game and it's creators. I can't believe they would design anything this bad and let it through play testing.

This annoying flashlight! Thank you you piece of crap for ruining this game for me.

This has not been properly ported to the PC. Why would you sell a PC game that can't be played with a mouse like any other game?

You should buy the deluxe edition of this game at full price, because it is a masterpiece. As soon as I saw the Ico style hand-holding I knew this is something special. With that said, I'm giving Little Nightmares II a negative review, because that's the only language that producers and "technical programmers" in a company can understand. The type of review that they'd share on their internal Slack channels to have a bitter laugh at how irrational customers are. The reason for the negative review? Even though the game can run on Windows 7, they don't allow it to, because it's "not supported". I don't want you to support my OS and I don't expect you to, but to actively prevent me from playing LN2 despite it being a DX11 Unreal (!) game - this review is the only language that you, the decision makers, can understand. You think stopping stubborn Win7 people from experiencing a potential (and very unlikely) Win7 related bug by not allowing them to play at all is better for your reputation? Really? Look at the graceful way Spelunky 2 handles the same problem: announces "we don't support your OS" in a pop-up message, but doesn't prevent users from playing the game.
