Little Nightmares II successfully creates a series of titles that pair up splendidly. Through masterful environmental storytelling and world-building, Tarsier Studios steps up to the likes of Limbo and Inside to invoke a creepy, horror experience that will force its way into your memories. Even with some frustrating sequences and some perspective clunkiness, Little Nightmares II gets a helping hand with all the other ways it exemplifies the genre.
Top Critic
Little Nightmares II is more of what fans enjoyed in the first installment. It's a terrific blend of evenly spaced platforming combined with environmental object manipulation puzzles. If that wasn't enough there's even a dose of co-ed puzzle solving. The game especially shines during the tense, atmospheric real-time platforming sequences. With its forgiving checkpoint auto-saves even a tired, old gamer can succeed through the platforming sequences.

Little Nightmares 2 delivers similar stealth and scares to the original, but leaves less of a lasting impact.
Top Critic
Little Nightmares 2 understands exactly what it wants to be, and mostly pulls it off.
Top Critic
Tarsier returns with another slice of horror that's just about glorious enough to make up for the frustrations.
Top Critic
A thoroughly entertaining work of video game art that improves mechanically on the original and proves thought-provoking in terms of more than just the puzzle-solving.

An amazing little horror game that can be as frustrating as it is brilliant.
Top Critic
This impressive follow-up builds on its predecessor with emotional gut punches and unnerving visuals that stick with you
Top Critic
Little Nightmares II is a delightful follow-up to developer Tarsier's 2017 horror platformer, but it's sometimes weighed down by gameplay frustrations and inaccessibility.
