much to the delight of fans&comma; is finally available cross-platform&period; Including the numerous goodies and innovations&comma; this new terrifying adventure takes full advantage of previous experiences and improved significantly&period; Here is my <a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;en&period;bandainamcoent&period;eu&sol;little-nightmares&sol;little-nightmares-ii">Little Nightmares 2<&sol;a> review on PC&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<h3 style&equals;"text-align&colon; center">WHAT IS LITTLE NIGHTMARES&quest;<&sol;h3>&NewLine;<p>Before going into the details&comma; a small premise both for those who know Little Nightmares and for those who don’t&comma; is due&period; Little Nightmares is an indie franchise developed by Swedish software house Tarsier Studios and distributed by <a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;en&period;bandainamcoent&period;eu">Bandai Namco Entertainment<&sol;a>&period; Critics rated the first chapter of the series&comma; released in 2017&comma; decidedly positive&period; Overall the game was a breath of fresh air in the horror video game landscape&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Take note that Little Nightmares has garnered hundreds of thousands of fans in a very short time&period; The game has a simple but compelling story&comma; as well as the puzzles that make up the game&period; Little Nightmares has earned a respectable place both in the indie scene and in the video game horror catalog&period; The very simple structure of the game is that of a classic 2D platformer&period; Here you have to solve puzzles and overcome small stealth sections to progress in the adventure&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>This structure is also implemented in <a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;en&period;wikipedia&period;org&sol;wiki&sol;Little&lowbar;Nightmares&lowbar;II">Little Nightmares 2<&sol;a>&period; However&comma; there are some additions and changes that I will talk about later&period; What really makes the difference in Little Nightmares&comma; and what sets it apart from classic platformers&comma; is its art and narrative direction&period; From the very first minutes&comma; you will find yourself immersed in a horror context that takes full advantage of the tradition of the genre&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><img class&equals;"aligncenter size-full wp-image-168321" src&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;cdn&period;bagogames&period;com&sol;wp-content&sol;uploads&sol;2021&sol;02&sol;26034719&sol;Little-Nightmares-2-2&period;jpg" alt&equals;"Little Nightmares 2" width&equals;"1200" height&equals;"675" &sol;><&sol;p>&NewLine;<h3 style&equals;"text-align&colon; center">A NEW ADVENTURE<&sol;h3>&NewLine;<p>Let me start by specifying that Little Nightmares 2 is a completely new adventure&comma; although the style of the game remains almost unchanged&period; In this second chapter you will find a whole new protagonist&colon; Mono&period; To accompany Mono&comma; after a few minutes&comma; you will meet an old acquaintance of the fans&colon; Six&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Six is &ZeroWidthSpace;&ZeroWidthSpace;the protagonist of the first game&comma; this time however presented without his characteristic yellow raincoat&period; Previously&comma; Six made his way in his nightmares alone&period; However&comma; this time Six acts as a shoulder to the brave Mono and will help him along the way&period; The latter has some arrows in his bow that his predecessor did not have&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>For example&comma; Mono is capable of using axes and blunt objects both as tools to progress and as weapons to protect himself and his friend from enemies&period; In addition to this&comma; during the game you will find some objects such as a torch or a remote control&period; Consequently&comma; compared to the first chapter&comma; here you will find fewer sections &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;in the dark”&comma; but more runaway sequences or purely puzzles&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>As you may have guessed&comma; there are some new small fights&period; These are against some of the monstrosities that you will encounter along the way&period; The linearity of Tarsier Studios’ game remains unchanged&comma; with a slightly deeper vertical development of the maps&period; Finally&comma; hats are also scattered throughout the game world&period; Once found&comma; hats can be equipped from the pause menu to give a new look to your little hero&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><img class&equals;"aligncenter size-full wp-image-168322" src&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;cdn&period;bagogames&period;com&sol;wp-content&sol;uploads&sol;2021&sol;02&sol;26034734&sol;Little-Nightmares-2-3&period;jpeg" alt&equals;"Tarsier Studios" width&equals;"1280" height&equals;"720" &sol;><&sol;p>&NewLine;<h3 style&equals;"text-align&colon; center">GOOSEBUMPS X M&period; NIGHT SHYAMALAN<&sol;h3>&NewLine;<p>While the structure of Little Nightmares 2 does not vary too much from the first&comma; the same cannot be said in the narrative&period; If the narration of the first game could be cryptic and inconsistent during the course of the adventure&comma; here you will find yourself in front of a small masterpiece&period; The most suitable comparison that comes to mind is the one with the Goosebumps series&period; As in those comics&comma; Little Nightmares 2 tells a linear story&comma; stirred by a few &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;wtf” moments&comma; with a final M&period; Night Shyamalan twist from a standing ovation&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Also here&comma; unlike the first chapter&comma; the narrative is really coherent and well contextualized&period; In the first Little Nightmares we found ourselves passing through different and not very connected environments&period; This made the adventure quite fragmented &lpar;albeit beautiful&rpar; and unnecessarily cryptic&period; Here&comma; on the other hand&comma; <a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;en&period;wikipedia&period;org&sol;wiki&sol;Tarsier&lowbar;Studios">Tarsier Studios<&sol;a> decided to outline the story and environments based on the fears that have unconsciously haunted children’s nightmares forever&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>During the course of the game&comma; you will find yourself being chased by a wicked teacher or by bullies of the elementary school&period; From school you will pass to a gloomy and disturbing hospital&comma; where you will be hunted down by a very menacing doctor&period; And what child in the world is not afraid of a strict teacher&comma; bullies&comma; or of running into the knife of the dentist on duty&quest; Finally&comma; a disturbing deserted city&comma; washed by a perennial rain&comma; makes a perfect transition between the various sections&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><img class&equals;"aligncenter size-full wp-image-168323" src&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;cdn&period;bagogames&period;com&sol;wp-content&sol;uploads&sol;2021&sol;02&sol;26034747&sol;Little-Nightmares-2-4&period;jpg" alt&equals;"Little Nightmares" width&equals;"1280" height&equals;"720" &sol;><&sol;p>&NewLine;<h3 style&equals;"text-align&colon; center">THE BEAUTY OF ART AND AUDIO<&sol;h3>&NewLine;<p>When it comes to the art direction&comma; Little Nightmares 2 differs subtly but substantially from its predecessor&period; As already mentioned&comma; the game world in this second chapter is much more coherent and contextualized than in the past&period; Each environment is perfectly managed and orchestrated&period; This is both in level design and in the choice of creatures that crowd the nightmare&period; The quality of the animations and models&comma; the richness of details&comma; and the management of lights and particle effects is really noteworthy in Tarsier Studios’ title&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>To surround a wonderful artistic sector&comma; there is also an excellent audio sector&period; Take note that this is mainly composed of a sound design of the highest level&period; The music includes both themes already heard in the first game and unpublished music composed for the occasion&period; Last but not least&comma; it is clear how the team has indulged itself with references to horror culture &lpar;and beyond&rpar;&period; In fact&comma; you will find very clear references to &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;The Ring”&comma; or to the more recent &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;The Haunting of Hill House”&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<h3 style&equals;"text-align&colon; center">NOTHING IS PERFECT<&sol;h3>&NewLine;<p>The only negative details that I have to talk about in my <a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;tarsier&period;se&sol;games&sol;little-nightmares-2&sol;">Little Nightmares 2<&sol;a> review&comma; lies in the technical sector&period; Tarsier Studios’ title is almost flawless&period; Take note that the game runs perfectly on any platform&period; Mono responds well to commands and in the numerous co-op sections the computer AI always works as it should&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>The only drawback of the experience is found in the PC version&period; This is a small bug that forced me to restart the game twice from the last checkpoint&period; I would like to clarify that the checkpoints in the game are a lot and very close to each other&period; However&comma; these small bugs do not affect the final rating of the game experience too much&period; Another very small flaw lies in the positioning of the camera&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>This occasionally makes the player run into really ridiculous and unexpected deaths&period; For the rest&comma; as already mentioned&comma; Little Nightmares 2 is statuesque&period; The game is very solid&comma; the interactions work perfectly with any object and with any enemy&comma; and the various runaway and stealth sections are really well managed&excl;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><img class&equals;"aligncenter size-full wp-image-168324" src&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;cdn&period;bagogames&period;com&sol;wp-content&sol;uploads&sol;2021&sol;02&sol;26034759&sol;Little-Nightmares-2-5&period;jpg" alt&equals;"" width&equals;"1300" height&equals;"700" &sol;><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><b>Do you want to try <a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;tarsier&period;se">Tarsier Studios&&num;8217&semi;<&sol;a> Little Nightmares 2&quest;
