The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope Reviews
While there’s still room for improvement; less jump scares, more suspenseful scenarios, Little Hope has outdone its predecessor ten-fold. This is the perfect addition to a horror aficionado’s collection, and a must have for Halloween this year.
Little Hope manages to fix a lot of Man of Medans problems and delivers a great story with surprisingly good Twists. Some areas could use a lot more challenge, variety and creativity but overall the game offers enough for a great halloween/horror evening alone or with friends.

With anthology series, you’re always going to have some things work better than others and although the tighter gameplay elements mean Litle Hope plays better, it isn’t as scary and the cast pales in comparison to Man of Medan’s.
Though it has some problems with pacing and minor bugs, Little Hope is a brilliant Halloween pick thanks to its over the top narrative and gruesome deaths, making it hard to say no to another visit.
Little Hope is a fantastic horror experience that really shows what Supermassive can do with the Dark Pictures series. Though it's a short experience and it exhibited a crash during review, it's a fantastically crafted thrilling drama with amazing characters who are genuinely fun to interact with. If this kind of game is something that seems interesting, don't pass up on this experience!
The Dark Pictures: Little Hope is a satisfying follow-up to Man of Medan. It capitalizes on its co-op focus to elevate its standard story-telling into something special.
Great Expectations with Little Hope. This story is better than Man of Medan, but still has some limitations.

Like any other game from Supermassive, the visuals in Little Hope are superb and the atmosphere is super engaging, making you feel everything that the devs wanted you to feel. That said, the implementation of gameplay mechanics sometimes go horribly wrong and prevents the game from delivering a solid final product.

The Dark Pictures: Little Hope is a stronger second offering in the standalone horror game series. A more engaging story and interesting setting help overcome the shortcomings in gameplay.
It seems that Supermassive didn't have enough time to fully realize the potential of "Little Hope". There's less interactivity and branching of the story here in comparison to previous studio's titles. This year's project is okay, but Supermassive definitely can do better.

The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope has really improved compared to the last installment in the series, but it becomes repetitive so soon. The technical issues in Man of Medan don't exist in Little Hope and it makes QTE sequences much more enjoyable. The graphics are so great and the story itself is engaging. I think despite of its problems, Little Hope is one of the best horror titles of this year that any horror fan should try.

The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope has a history and mechanics superior to its predecessor. However, there is a "pattern" in the plot that must be broken, as well as the way they build the characters. If the mechanics remain the same in the future, chances are its successors will fall into sameness.

Little Hope did present a compelling story with the right balance between questions and answers, but the sequences in between lack depth with generic character interactions and many actions that don't change the outcomes.

Little Hope renewed my faith in the Dark Pictures Anthology but is held back a bit simply from the lack of quality of life features.
A fun, brief adventure that draws on the genres strengths but doesn't really reach the heights of the developer's Until Dawn, never mind surpass it.

The Dark Pictures so far has been all about popcorn-horror, the kind where the viewer screams and jumps before remembering that everything’s all right after. They’re not elegant, but they’re not trying to be - and that’s perfectly acceptable, especially if it’s what the player knows what they’re getting into.
The second entry into The Dark Pictures Anthology is an improvement over the first. As much as we enjoyed Man of Medan, Little Hope ups the ante in just about every way.
Supermassive's next installment in their scary anthology series Little Hope is a short but spooky tale. It's a step up from its previous title but still has yet to reach the level that Until Dawn set. With a cast of five characters to play from, co-op is the best way to play. It excels at telling an interesting narrative but after 4 short hours it doesn't stand out in much else.
Little Hope makes the direction of The Dark Pictures anthology clear, but it makes up for its evident formula with an interestingly convoluted story and increasingly nuanced branching paths.
The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope is a notable improvement over Man of Medan, thanks to its vastly superior plot that manages to keep you hooked and interested in the characters as you try to keep them alive.
