Little Nightmares II

Little Nightmares II is a true evolution from the first game. Tarsier Studios has done a fantastic job in creating a world that’s even more terrifying, brought to life with absolutely sublime art and sound. Sure, there are a few frustrations along the way, but they aren’t what will stick with you. What you will remember, long after you’ve turned off the game, is just how magnificent and macabre Little Nightmares II is.

Burrowed deep inside the human psyche dwells the morbid curiosities that infest the essence of Little Nightmares II. Following in the skittish footsteps of its predecessor, Tarsier Studios have delved into the deliciously grotesque to bring us an amalgamation of the macabre that will fester in your subconsciousness for years to come.

Little Nightmares II is my favorite game of 2021 --which is quite the accomplishment considering how much of a huge coward I am. There is just something about how the game structured its bite-sized gameplay and ambiance, as it somehow managed to evoke an odd combination of excitement and dread that leaves me craving more.

Despite some annoying glitches, Little Nightmares 2 is a game any horror fan should play. The controls are simplistic, but the puzzles and enemies provide plenty of challenge. While still charming, the horror feels darker, and the themes will have you thinking for a long time after you finish the game. While you won’t need to play the first game to understand the events of Little Nightmares 2, any fan of the series will have fun piecing together how these two games connect.

Little Nightmares 2 is a sequel that ups the ante on everything from the gameplay to the nightmares themselves.

Little Nightmares 2 improves upon the original with more terror, better puzzles, and a fantastic atmosphere. Fans of horror or puzzle games shouldn't hesitate to pick this one up.

Little Nightmares II is bigger and bolder, which builds upon the foundations from the first game. The game is host to a disgusting, decaying world that opens up as you progress through each chapter. Its inhabitants will haunt your dreams for days and the emotional connection it draws between Mono and Six with absolutely no dialogue is powerful. It is worth noting that certain combat encounters and high stakes moments can become troublesome and do provide occasional road blocks which prevent the game from reaching its full potential. As it stands though, Little Nightmares II is a thrill ride fi...

Little Nightmares II excels at creating a truly eerie atmosphere that’ll stay with you even after you’ve put your controller down.

A horror fan's dream come true.

Little Nightmares II is mostly sweet dreams, but expect some tossing and turning.

Little Nightmares 3 features little innovation, few scares, and limited appeal if you’ve already played the previous two games, unless you’re dead keen to experience the series’ signature brand of stop-start stealth with a friend in tow.

You can’t ignore the LittleBigPlanet in Little Nightmares II. Tarsier Studios may have turned to horror with its eerie 2017 puzzle platformer Little Nightmares, but the Swedish studio’s body of work largely involves Sackboy, and he hangs over this gloomy PlayStation 4 sequel like an ominous shadow. Mono moves like Media Molecule’s mascot, grabbing onto objects in order to solve physics-based puzzles. At twice the length of its predecessor, this sinister sequel has plenty of memorable moments, but it’s let down by an overemphasis on trial and error.
