Rate top gamesI've played the first one last year and I actually prefer it over this sequel. Little Nightmares 2 feels more like some leftover ideas from the first one, which are stitched together in some weird ways. The enemy design and overall graphics are totally lovely and some gameplay mechanics are pretty neat, but I think it would be a much better game if it would be as short and dense as part 1. Especially the "combat" and the last level are just super tedious and it's sometimes a little bit too much trial and error for my taste. Besides some terrible game breaking bugs, there has been a few moments where I just didn't know what to do. This rarely happens to me. Little Nightmares 2 is still a good game, but throwing in some cool new mechanics and that ending doesn't automatically make it better. Imo, the first one has a much better world design, story telling and atmosphere. Nightmares 2 has some really brilliant moments, but fails as an overall idea and concept when compared to it's precursor!

PROS:
+ Audio-visual setting (you better play with your headphones on, it's worth it)
+ Intriguing plot despite the lack of dialogues
+ Main character
+ Dynamics between characters (they can HOLD HANDS)
+ Opponents and their mechanics (school and hospital ones are wicked)
+ Horror elements (stuff gets more scary than 1st game)
+ Escape sequences gives goosebumps
NEUTRAL:
> Most of the puzzles are too easy
> Still too short
> Last chapter kinda meh
CONS:
- Controls gets too heavy for more dynamic segments
- Six lost her personality (for most part of the game, not whole), she's acting like a servant
- Battle sequences (would be better without them, just let us escape!)
Little Nightmares 2 is a great sequel, and after finishing it I just stood there right in front of my TV and I kinda wanted to go inside it for some reason. I do recommend buying this game. 9/10 from me

After quitting the first game, I decided to give this one a chance, hoping it would be different - and I'm so happy I did this.
This game is amazing. The art direction is so atmospheric. Everything seems soulless and hostile. Every scenario you pass through has bizarre unique elements to it, such as School and residential areas. This also change the gameplay itself, since every area had different villains and enemies. The miss-in-scene is excellent and the cinematography has a good command of angles since everything looks so big and frightening. The mechanics itself seems more responsible, which is amazing.
Obviously, as with every good horror game, the story does not disappoint. The first 30 minutes of the game are breathtaking and the ending was insane. As the game doesn't give you the answers, you have to figure it out by ourself. This happens in gameplay as well since it rarely tells you what to do - and I love that, cause feels challenging.
Of course, I can not forget to talk about audio design. Dude, it's truly impressive how good that audio design is. Amazing 3D technology and quality overall. And the OST? Hands down. It still remains in my head after days of beating the game.
After this stunning experience, I'm now playing the first one again.

The world of Little Nightmares is worth your time. I didn't enjoy the running sequences and their trial and error but I'll overlook that for what the rest is - a wonderfully grotesque adventure.

one of the best games I have ever played, the art style, the atmosphere, and the history are incredible, you can really feel the very nature of infant horror in every seccion of the game, it was a 10/10 for me

Didn't quite live up to the first one for me. Still great, and I look forward to what Tarsier comes up with next.
This game and its predecessor have an unmatched atmosphere of tension that fails to be replicated in most horror games. The entire game oozes an uncanny aura from its pores and is a masterclass on how to etch an image in the amygdala of a player's mind for hours after they take a break from this game. This is both a perfect sequel and a perfect franchise.
