Little Nightmare 2
"Little Nightmares," previously dubbed "Hunger" (per NME), gained critical acclaim for its darkly compelling environment and simple (but tight) gameplay. Six, a hungry young girl attempting to flee the Maw, a region infested with creatures and unspeakable horrors, has fans demanding a sequel. They ultimately achieved their desire in February 2021, with the release of "Little Nightmares 2."
The sequel, which involves Six and her new friend Mono, builds on the strengths of the previous game, from the 2.5D graphic style to the terrifying monsters and a tone that alternates between periods of peace and a growing feeling of dread. Certain fundamentals have been added, such as AI-controlled co-op, enabling Mono to shake her hand. As highlighted in other game reviews, this feature serves as a distinct point of differentiation from the original, telling players that they will not be alone in this. Although the world is frightening, these children are confronting it together.
Naturally, this also implies that the times you are forced to confront alone seem all the more alienating and terrible. While fans and journalists alike lauded "Little Nightmares 2," most believe the series as a whole is underappreciated. That was a shame because nothing else compares to this series.
