Rather than fixing this problem in the sequel, Tarsier Studios have just added more functions and sequences which don’t work with this game’s mechanics. Along with this, I was frequently falling off ledges when walking across planks of wood as it was hard to tell where the edge actually was. In the first game, this especially made it hard for the platforming sections as jumping from one place to another was really difficult when it was so hard to judge distances. Due to the fixed camera, the player has awful spatial awareness when exploring a room. The game’s 2.5D camera and clunky controls just don’t suit action sequences at all. Little Nightmares replicates the feeling of running from terrible monsters in a bad dream so well that even the clunky controls with their infuriatingly slow reactions remind me of the way you awkwardly tumble or feel incredibly weighted when running away from something in a nightmare. The Viewers huddle around a television, Mono can use the televisions to distract them and lead them to another area. Although the weapons you pick up are much too big for Mono to swing about easily, being able to attack things reduces that fear of being a helpless child in a nightmare that the first game captured so well.

In this segment, the new attack function comes into play much more frequently to crack open the heads of these little monsters.ĭespite how satisfying it is to get your own back on these brats, this section is another example of how Little Nightmares II’s focus on action takes away the same intense atmosphere the first game had with its stealth-oriented gameplay. Like the Hunter’s territory, they have laid out their own traps which Mono must be careful of whilst moving through the school. The school is overrun by children made out of ceramic who act like uncontrolled animals with their horrible screaming as they run about the place. From clothes hanging from the ceiling where a body once was, to the extreme mass of televisions littering the streets and apartments this small glimpse into the backstory of Little Nightmares made me itch for more and I only wish we had been given more.Īs you navigate around the city you’ll enter various buildings, including a school governed by a teacher who can elongate her neck like a snake when catching you sneaking around her. The city held many dark details about what state the world was possibly in before whatever apocalyptic event has happened. Those who remain have become faceless ghosts of themselves, transfixed by television screens, even to the point of walking off roof if it means getting closer to one. I love exploring the streets of this abandoned world, intrigued by the mysterious disappearance of its inhabitants who seemed to have vanished on the spot and left only their clothes behind. It’s almost like the inhabitants tried to throw them all away to stop the obsession.Īfter this sequence, the duo escape to a city, the game’s main setting.
The amount of TVs littering the streets further shows the obsession the Viewers have with the glow of the screens.
Instead, the game focuses more on the action sequence of escaping him which sets up why Little Nightmares II wasn’t quite as good as its predecessor. With more details into the Hunter’s grisly activities like this, he could have been a more memorable boss. But as you move closer you realize they are just dummies and their faces are made out of poorly stitched together skin. We’re offered a gruesome glimpse of a family seated at a table within the Hunter’s shack. Despite this exhilarating start to the game, I felt the Hunter wasn’t nearly as terrifying as any of the previous game’s bosses or the later bosses in Little Nightmares II. The presence of these traps becomes clearer when the player encounters the first boss, the Hunter, a masked man wielding a shotgun who relentlessly chases Mono and Six. The forest is littered with deadly traps, meaning that right from the start the player must be cautious in their every move. Starting off in a forest, Mono comes across Six, the protagonist from the first game. There were plenty of moments in this gorgeously designed game where I would just stop for a moment to take in its glorious imagery before moving on.
The fish-eye effect is great at enhancing that dream-like atmosphere and the apocalyptic themes in the city makes Mono and Six’s situation feel even more dire and helpless. As always, the setting is hauntingly beautiful with its dark blue hues and bleak details. But this was perfect for opening up the series’ story and giving further glimpses of the eerie world our characters are living in. Little Nightmares II drops the claustrophobic and cramped setting of The Maw from the first game, opting for the much more open environments of a forest and a city.
