This game is amazing. From the visuals the the sound design and the music it is all just amazing. From the moment you start the game it entices you and it's hard to stop playing. The atmosphere is amazing and the horror is the best I have ever played. And the ending is insane. I was literally in awe at it. Anyone who is reading this you should go play the game. You won't regret it. The more people who buy the game the more it will encourage them to make a third one and then maybe make it into something bigger like the Resident Evil series. Thank you Tarsier and Bandai Namco for creating this masterpiece.

Little Nightmares II: Danger in the Pale City
Jinxxa_Wolf15 November 2021
Little Nightmares II returns with an epic, beautifully twisted tale, one which compares perfectly with the first game, in my opinion, which in itself is a rare feat. Few sequels/prequels can compare with their masterpiece originals. As a huge fan of the first game, I was very easily swept up in the dark lure of this game, curious to find the connections and understand a bit more of the world and lore. These games are somehow both exquisite and grotesque, a perfect mix of stunningly beautiful and monstrously disgusting.
This installment is more of a prequel story to the first game, but it definitely keeps with the unique style previously established and the devs manage to crank up the story a couple of notches with surprising results. Absolutely love where they are going with this. The ending was a incredible trip, so unlike anything most of us could have expected. Brilliant and compelling. I can't wait to see where the next installments will take us.
The story focuses on Mono, a unique masked boy, with mysterious abilities and a mysterious, yet familiar ally. The world, characters, music, and art design are all spell-binding and spot on. These games are amazingly clever at offering a fascinating and terrifying story as well as compelling characters through its art, world, and overall atmospheric experience. It somehow manages to express emotion with a wordless subtlety, as the characters never speak or share dialogue. Somehow the world of Little Nightmares is rich, moving and eerily horrific and highly addictive. I have such high hopes for LN3!

A Prequel Success
endless_dream24 February 2021
The first game was great, the second even better. Every second of gameplay is like a gift unwrapping, you don't know what to expect but you know it's going to be amazing, and guess what, it was. A mentally terrifyingly pleasant experience all the way to the end. The fact six is back makes everything that much more better. I also highly recommend this game to anyone who is a horror fan & definitely recommend playing the first one before this one if you have not. Thank you Tarsier Studios and Bandai Namco for creating the world of little nightmares
Top 10 Definitely best games

This game was incredible. It was tense from the beginning we saw the protagonist to the end we saw the antagonist. The background environment and the visuals were breathtaking. The character designs were phenomenal. The story was gripping,dark and twisted. All the traits a perfect horror game can have. And the ending was just....wow. It was unexpected and I won't ever see that ending coming from another lifetime.
Nice game

At the end of one of the best platform games, a sequel came out and we wanted to download and play it right away, so I played the game and finished and let me say: Game Good. The game was really tense. While playing it broke my psychology and I felt like something was going to happen at any moment, at this point the game was really successful. The game flows everywhere, I like the game. Those who play will also like the game.
But I was a little disappointed at the end of the game. Six let go of our hand and we fell down and then I was shocked when I saw that the main character Mono was actually Thin Man himself, and those who played will see this effect. If a new sequel to the series comes out, I want the game to end with a nice ending this time.
Waited so long for this
Neptune16528 February 2021
I loved everything and the ending left me speechless. There were a few rough moments but they were always immediately redeemed by amazing moments afterwards. I loved it and it's great for people who like horror and terror games. The game just flows better and makes you enjoy it regardless of how terrified you are in places. You just want to get to the next room to see what happens. You should play the original Little Nightmares first though if you're coming in to this blind. The first game (and its DLC) is fantastic. Super creepy and dripping with atmosphere. You really are missing out if you skip the first one.
Yet again, another brilliant game and so many questions.

Little Nightmares 2 sees a return of elements from the first game, like game play, physics, art style, graphics, and the silent way the story is told through only visuals. While the first game did so well with these elements, camera and motion were wonky at times and lead to frustrating deaths. These camera and motion issues were polished with the sequel, so it was a basically perfect game. There was also a couple new welcoming features such as the swinging weapon mechanic, teamwork with Six, and adorable hat collectables to find for Mono.
Something that deserves its own shout out is the audio design. Music is as chilling as it was in the first game, and the the first game also did a good job with audio design given the prominent visual aspect with these games. But Little Nightmares 2 did it so much better some how. You're not playing the game right if you're not wearing headphones. The way you can hear disturbing noises of hidden foes from three rooms away raises the intensity and suspense.
Again, the visual design of the world was the only clues as to what is happening with the story and the world. I liked how we saw an expansion of the world as the game started on land before transitioning to the floating island. There was no camera sway, so I'm assuming it's completely different form the boat we found Six in in the previous installment.
Speaking of Six, the twist that Mono was travelling with Six the whole time was a jaw dropper, even if you suspected it before. This doesn't just confirm the sequel as a true prequel, but we also see more hints of how demented Six really is. I mean, can we talk about her warming her hands by the flames of the burning corpse? And so many more questions are presented to us about her too, as if we didn't have any lingering after the first game. Why did that guy have her locked in the basement? Does her bloodlust develop from similar times in imprisonment? Where do Mono and Six come form? Are they from the same place?
And the biggest question: why did Six abandon Mono like that? I get it if her murderous tendencies are derived for vengeance against the "bigger people." But if that were the case, why leave him behind that way, especially after what they went through together? Whatever the case may be, Little Nightmares has once again left us one heck of a cliffhanger that we will be thinking about for a long time.
I hear that Little Nightmares has come to end, which is disappointing because this is a horror game franchise that could possibly rival that of Five Night's At Freddy's, in terms of convoluted story at least. Not only do we still have so many unanswered questions, but Little Nightmares 2 conjured a theory that I've been pondering to myself for a while.
My theory, which may never be confirmed or debunked, is that Mono and Six, and possibly others, semi represents the Seven Sins. Six represents Gluttony - she was hungry the whole game, encountered fat gluttonous monsters, and after eating Porcelain Face lady, Six consumed the souls (?) of all the beings she passed. Mono represent Sloth - his whole gimmick was a television, the freaky people we see are glued to their television or to the weird satellite tower, and Mono ends up sucked onto the TV land and sits on a chair for who knows how long before becoming the Tall Man.
Is my theory to far fetched, or do I have a point? All I know is that I wish there were more installments, not just because of the unique experience these games provide, but I'd love to see if my theory has any validity.

'Little Nightmares II (2020)' is an atmospheric and enigmatic puzzle-platformer that's as creepy as it is enjoyable. Because of certain aspects of its story which I won't spoil here, the game can easily be played without having played its predecessor (which is how I experienced it). Its story is surprisingly compelling considering that there isn't a single line of dialogue. It's simple but effective. The piece conveys its ambiguous narrative without holding your hand, which actually makes for a very satisfying experience. Its ending is fantastically frustrating and downbeat; it's actually the perfect note on which to end. The gameplay consists of puzzles, traversal challenges and stealth segments, usually all at the same time. It's more-or-less a side-scroller, even though you can move away from and closer to the screen, as it were. It feels surprisingly fluid, though the controls are ever-so-slightly clunky and you can get stuck on geometry quite easily. The title just drops you right into its events and forces you to fend for yourself, only occasionally interrupting with a tutorial message when an obscure new mechanic comes into play. The experience never feels frustrating, though, because it saves very frequently. It's a little annoying how much trial and error is involved, especially when the thing throws something at you that you couldn't possibly predict, but this doesn't detract from the overall experience as you immediately respawn not too far from where you met your demise. The game has several collectibles (one type of which leads to an extended 'secret' ending) that are incredibly well hidden. In fact, they're a little too well hidden at times. Still, it's entertaining to try and find them all. They add a bit more value to the relatively short story, although I still managed to finish the entire thing to 100% in around five-and-a-half hours. The length isn't an issue, at least for me, because the affair is so entertaining. Its aesthetics are spot on, with several disquieting enemies and a generally gloomy vibe, and its gameplay is really engaging, especially during its more exciting segments. The story, too, is unexpectedly affecting; you'll really care about your player character and his mysterious new friend by the time you reach the thing's conclusion. In the end, this is a distinct and well-achieved little title. It's great. I'll be playing the first game very soon. 8/10.
An Incredible, Engaging Adventure
tommo-merison6 February 2022
Little Nightmares 2 delivers a great atmospheric gaming environment filled with spooky ambience and thrilling environments. Much like the first instalment, this game delivers a cold and unforgiving environment. And underneath the surface of the gothic art style, there is a layer of mysterious backstory.
The story is a simple tale of a young boy named Mono, accompanied by Six (the first game's protagonist) trying to survive the brutal world they live in and find a safe place.
The gameplay is still quite clunky in places, especially with the pretty clumsy combat feature. However the physical limitations of the game and your characters only make you feel more vulnerable and in danger within the world. So in a sense it ads to the experience when you know surviving is harder.
The new environments are just as creepy as ever with 6 unique locations in the game. Each monster has a pretty spooky, creative design and fits the mood of the game. And the sheer size and scope is a step up from the first game.
The music is on par with the first soundtrack. It's haunting yet beautiful. Simple and effective. Best of all it compliments the game, adding mystique and builds the story with atmosphere. The simplicity in the music brings a child like sense of wonder that accompanies the characters through the story. And then some tracks just fill your heart with dread. Some songs just make the adrenaline flow in the more dire points of the game.
Not only is the game beautiful, it's also incredibly fun. Containing many hidden collectables, humorous achievement trophies, and some callbacks to the previous game. The game never feels stale and offers us a lot in a short amount of time. Each level progresses brilliantly.
Some of the downsides are the games short length and again the stiff controls at points. With a game as captivating as LN2, it's easy to indulge in the experience. But with the game's run time only between 5-6 hours, the time it can seem a bit brief. Less is indeed more but for me 5 hours isn't long enough. I think it could of had another level. But it's better to have 5 great chapters rather than anything that can be perceived as filler. In this case the game leaves us wanting more rather than waiting for it to end. The game is also very replay-able if not for the fun trophies and the cool hat collection.
Some further minor upgrades from the first Little Nightmares are the better checkpoint loading, nicer camera work, more challenging gameplay and fewer AI issues. So overall the experience is a lot more polished.
I love this game a lot. I've played to 100% completion but still want to play it some more so it's definitely worth an extra play through.

This game is good & can be fun, but it also is a pain in the you know what! They have focused a little toooooo much on escaping the "teacher" & that has really brought the game down! The guy in the first part was not that much. A couple scenes with him & you were done! Once in the school though you have more "teacher" than you do students to deal with!!
Other than the prolonged stints like that, it's a good game like I said! They just need to focus more on the game play than one character because it does drag the game on in a rut!!

The games art design and atmosphere are awesome. BUT the gameplay is extremely frustrating. The controles are as frightening as the game itself. Doing anything in the game is just a little nightmare. It redefines trial & error completely. For people with really strong nerves. I tried to like it but had to quit half way through because I was so frustrated. Never happened before with any game...
The Secret Achievements are so Creative
Master_Strange17 March 2021
Little nightmares 2 is everything the first game does but better, From it's beautiful scenery to it's incredible story telling. While the first little nightmares takes place in one environment which is the maw, Little Nightmares 2 this takes place in various of areas. The hat collectibles and finding all the Glitching kids was such a cool idea, it made exploring all the more worth it. the secret achievements you need to get are so creative. I feel this game is shorter than the previous and the ending is awesome. it truly is the best game. All in all this game is a masterpiece.
Simply astonishing.

What an incredible game all round, there are so many great things to talk about in this game.
The graphics are unmatched, especially at certain parts which are screenshot-worthy moments, yet even with the high performance graphics, devices still run perfectly fine.
The gameplay can be pretty frustrating at parts with a few moments of glitchy hitboxes, but once you get past these moments, the rest is fine.
The storyline as well is amazing, the transitions from the woods to the school to the hospital and then the city is amazing, with the gameplay really flowing throughout it. Each moment is exhilarating with different monsters or puzzles to solve.
The music itself is incredible and really carries the game throughout, Tobias Lilja doing an incredible job with it.
The ending as well is unmatched to any other game I've ever met. It's so breathtaking and if you look it up you will see many streamers and YouTubers genuinely cry because of it.
Overall. 10/10. My favourite game of all time and a completely unique horror game which is unmatched.

Nightmares Return Creepier As Ever
TheMysteriousReviewer23 October 2023
I honestly cannot pick which is better, the first or the second. They're both creepy and they're both very unpredictable. But you know what, that's what makes both these games so unique. Little Nightmares II takes the 3D indie horror gaming to a whole new level. I might as well begin with how unpredictable the story can be. This time, we got Mono and Six teaming up and have to face the scary monsters in town. And that exactly takes a step of the social commentary on sad reality. The graphics are not only creepier as ever, but also very exciting in terms of the detail when it comes to the background. And the gameplay is very challenging in a great way. It demonstrates how the game really wants to play around with all the monsters we would encounter by either being chased or even fight back. If you like the first Little Nightmares, you will definitely enjoy this one too. But I also recommend to prepare on what you will expect when playing this game. Like the first game, it will be creepy and play out its horror themes. Seeing how the games get progressively scarier and creepy, this tells me that the next installment is going to be even creeper when that comes out next year.
