Little Nightmares 2 is gorgeous, with an underlying sense of horror. Small puzzles, such as lifting a partial chess piece and placing it on top of a broken piece, might have been rather tedious in the first game, but here it's not an issue. This sequel improves the former so much that I rarely had a problem interacting with key items, and as such the whole game flows far smoother. These headaches were often due to awkward interactions with objects, or obtuse puzzles. This might sound like a fairly backhanded compliment, but my fond memories of the previous game are sharply pierced by feelings of frustration and annoyance. Not once during my playthrough did I feel Six was being problematic. It all works pretty seamlessly, too, with Six knowing when to help out. Having a compatriot along for the majority of the story does mean that pseudo co-op gameplay elements have been built in, which changes the feel of the game significantly from the first. Functionally little has changed, the lack of yellow raincoat being the major difference between the two. Six, the main character from the original game, becomes an AI partner here, with Mono taking the lead. To see this content please enable targeting cookies. It's not a game that goes out of its way to shock, its appearance on the surface coming across as rather tame among its horror stablemates, but the nightmares depicted here are truly insidious. While full-blown horror titles have often tried and failed to really get under my skin, Little Nightmares 2 slowly seeped into my pores.
There's a lot to be said for a game creating a creepy atmosphere. Some slight pacing and gameplay mechanic issues aside, Little Nightmares 2 is a brilliant sequel that will delight as much as it'll unnervingly linger.
