Little Nightmares 2 Game Review
Little Nightmares II is a platformer, horror game released by Tarsier Studios. This is the sequel of the highly anticipated Little Nightmares II: The visual nightmare game that will be coming to Switch in March of next year. This time around, players take on the character of Anne who returns back to her nightmare because of a misstep she committed while investigating a series of murders committed by a man with an appetite for flesh. Instead of returning to the dark place she left behind, Anne must navigate her way through not only her own nightmare but also the vibrant and dark world of other characters in the game too. What really adds challenges is the way that each level is intended to be played, and the way in which the various weapon and item combinations can be used to not just defeat enemies, but also to cause more damage and kill various creatures that are roaming around the game.
So, what can we talk about in terms of the storyline of the game? And how can it compare to the game of previous years? In the beginning, the story is told from a first person perspective - that is, from the perspective of the character who has lived through the events. The story begins with a series of humorous, brief moments where we get to see what happens when the protagonists are taken away from their comfort zones (a boat trip in the Pacific for instance). You'll find that the locals have noticed some strange happenings in the darkness. They report the police who are unable to find any evidence of danger and so they leave the area.
Anne is currently in a room that has multiple cameras and objects. She has to engage with the objects to move forward. Light switches are required as well as other objects to navigate through the maze-like spaces. Although the puzzles won't solve any major issues but they will help you avoid obstacles and avoid gaps. It is possible to combine these puzzles with another game mode and this can turn into the primary focus of the game. Little Nightmares 2 takes places on land and not the sea. The result is that the puzzles are more challenging and the gameplay overall.
After you have completed the first few rooms, you will enter Room 2021. There will be more challenges. The storyline is similar to that of the original game, but this time, there are more enemies and hazards. The storyline is also longer but it's still entertaining. While the challenges in the sequel are a bit more difficult than the ones in the first but they're nonetheless challenging and enjoyable. This game is definitely worth a look If you liked the first game!
The platforming system of the game is unique, which is a plus. The first game had platforms on a couple of levels, however in the sequel, there are mini-games that involve platforming through the various zones. Additionally, the puzzles that require platforming are now more difficult, and require you to use your brain to figure out how to complete them.
The sound is much better in the sequel. here It's not necessary that you hear the same music as in the previous game - they've made their best effort to sound like something you'd encounter in the real world. The sounds were very catchy in the beginning of the game, but slowly lost their appeal. The game was made more enjoyable thanks to the voice actors, particularly in the horror-themed scenes. The characters in the game are better portrayed, helping you to understand them better.
The visuals are better also. The environments are designed better and more vivid. The environments appear realistic enough to frighten players, and the puzzle aspect of the game is improved upon (particularly in the later parts of the game). Overall, even though Little Nightmares 2 is clearly not the identical game as the original, it does contain some nice elements to add.
It's a good game overall. For fans of horror games you'll probably find something to appreciate here. However, if you're a horror game enthusiast who only plays the original nightmares, you may find nightmares 2 disappointing. But then again it's not a terrible game, just different.
