Little Nightmares II Reviews
Little Nightmares 2 is more of the same, but it is a deja vu of a very unique and enjoyable experience. Although it does not bring significant innovations and provides a brief experience, the art and design of the game is quite impressive. It is an essential game for anyone who enjoyed the first title, on the other hand, it is not a product that will change the opinion of those who did not like the predecessor.

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.
Unfortunately, there really isn't a whole lot to say about Little Nightmares II. You get a general sense of how the story is progressing through events and the world is interesting, even if contrast hides a lot of details, making it a series of rather basic puzzles and stealth sections to the end. Given neither are overly engaging, it can be a little underwhelming, but it also fits the concept. You're not some otherworldly creature moving giant rocks to get into an impossible place, you're likely some kid trying not to die to a bear trap or captured. As a result, fans of the original will likely love it, whereas newcomers or those looking for a harder experience will likely be underwhelmed.
Little Nightmares 2 is one of the beautiful games and titles that you should not miss and its a must buy. It is a masterpiece in all aspects, from the story, style of play and music to the dazzling and bleak graphics that give you the fear factor, as it demonstrated the ability of the developer to make us feel terrified and excited constantly by putting up New ideas ,despite the many risks.

Little Nightmares II is a great sequel that builds on the strengths of the first game while making some key adjustments to the gameplay and the overall experience. This new chapter met all my expectations with a compelling story that ties into the first game beautifully. Although the controls are not as buttery smooth as I wish, it is a fun and quick little game that is very well put together.

Managing to go beyond the first game, Little Nightmares 2 successfully makes you feel like you are a weak character in a twisted world.

Having missed out on the original, though certainly having heard its praises, I walked into Little Nightmares 2 with next to no pre-knowledge aside from knowing to expect a creepy tone...
Little Nightmares II offers another dive into its twisted horror-filled world with satisfying puzzles and enough new mechanics and monstrosities to keep things fresh.
Little Nightmares 2 retreads many of the concepts that made the first game such a hit and provides a familiar journey that fans of the original will love.
Little Nightmares II is an excellent follow-up to an already terrific game. While the changes it makes to the series’ established formula, such as the dual protagonist story and the addition of combat, are a bit hit or miss, I still found it nearly impossible to put the game down during my six-hour playthrough thanks to its satisfying puzzles and unrivaled atmosphere. If you’re a fan of the original Little Nightmares, then this is a game you won’t want to miss. However, if the performance problems I mentioned have you on the fence (though honestly, they’re not that bad), perhaps consider picking up the game on a more capable platform than the Switch.
At its best, the game sustains an effectively ominous atmosphere as it channels recognizable childhood fears.
The sequel to Tarsier Studio's horror platformer is finally out. We take a look at how it holds up and improves on the original.
A visceral assault on the senses, Little Nightmares II drowns you in its thick, moody atmosphere and renders you helpless against the Pale City's many horrors. It is a meticulously crafted, devilishly clever puzzle-adventure that weaponizes every tool the medium has to offer to terrify you. While it retains many of the flaws that hurt its predecessor, its length, polish, and ambition propel it to the upper echelon of horror games.
The dark and creepy world from Tarsier is still as excellent in Little Nightmares II as it was in the original. With decent puzzle-platforming, and a few new mechanics to keep things fresh, the sequel revels in all things big, small, and grotesque.
Horror fans that delighted in the first Little Nightmares game and were not killed by the short recess will probably discover a ton to like about Little Nightmares II.
It’ll give you the willies in ways you might not expect, and ways that are hard to forget.
Tarsier Studios delivers a suite worthy of its predecessor. The game does not pretend to reinvent the genre and despite the few problems tainting the gameplay, we feel that they put a lot of heart to the work to make this experience interesting and authentic, although too short.

Little Nightmares 2 is certainly polished and beautifully stylised, but it didn’t offer me a new experience. While many on-screen antagonists snared me in their traps, it itself didn’t grab me. I far prefer the titles I mentioned before — Limbo, Inside and Unravel — over this, but fans of this genre will certainly feel differently.
The story is approximately double the length of that in Little Nightmares but doesn't overstay its welcome. Players will take slightly longer if they look for the hidden areas that contain hats or holographic Kids that Mono can absorb into himself. While the story is concluded completely, things are left open for the possibility of a third game in the franchise. Maybe by the time that rolls around, there won't be as much need for trial and error puzzling, or for accidental platforming deaths. For now, those who enjoyed the first title will likely love the second. Others will perhaps find it a bit too frustrating to see things through to the end.
Unlike the original, Little Nightmares 2 isn’t a game I can envision reaching cult success. It’s sad to see, too. Already the predecessor was quite noble, flaws aside, it just needed some upholstering. Instead, the follow up just adds more frustration and more jank over a longer time period. There’s absolutely striking imagery and wonders worth seeing in Little Nightmares 2. They’re just quite hard to recommend amongst all of the challenges the game presents.
