Little Nightmares II was definitely worth getting for me. It has excellent atmosphere, and I loved exploring its twisted world. Those little characters were fun too in an odd way. The only thing that I did not like about the game was that it gets pretty tedious whenever it decides to lean on its controls for some game mechanic. This game controls well as far as running and jumping around goes. The combat and flashlight mechanic are not one of its strong points though. That being said, I think that this is a great game with one or two flaws, not the other way around. Definitely worth getting if you think the world and story look interesting to you.
Also, I think this is even better than the first game in many ways! Great step up from the original, which is also great.
It's hard to put into words but this game is truly a must-play if you like games such as Limbo, Inside and obviously the first Little Nightmares.
- Great graphics
- Interesting story
- I Recommend this
The developers removed Windows 7 compatibility on purpose. The game could run perfectly fine on Win7, but they force you to move to newer Windows, why? Why punish players, for what?
The game styling and atmosphere is perfect much like the first game, the combat takes getting used to for a short while but once you see the enemy mechanics it gets a lot easier, like many games you get the timing right. The graphics are fantastic and I enjoyed exploring all the areas of the game as I did the first game. The music is very nicely made and designed. A lot of personality and shown via the actions and animations of the characters, you have to explore some areas and pay attention to every subtle movement to understand them, with them you can understand personality and emotion of the character. The msuic is very important to this too. There are more chase scenes in this game compared to the first game, I don't mind it but I do prefer the sneaking style of the first game since you feel more cornered. The AI of your companion is very good and I generally found the puzzles fun.
I pretty much enjoyed this game a lot, And I can reccomend it.
What I will say first of all, is you do die a lot on some parts as others mentioned but people just are not used to the game yet, I have played it two times (15 hours total) and didn't die anywhere near as much the second time (Played it a week later). On the third level running with the flashlight makes you less accurate with it, this is intentional to make you panic and you actually get caught easier, stick to normal movement and you will be far more successful passing areas.
If you get confused with the characters and storyline I highly reccomend going on the Bandai Namco web page for this game and reading the characters and you will understand more and piece links together. On old school games this information would have been inside a manual in the box or back of the box but as this is digital download you will need to go on the games page to get this extra information and context. Only thing to be careful of is the page shows all the main enemies so if you don't want this spoiled then avoid.
