The story is well paced, giving you just enough of each environment so we weren't left desperate to move on before being whisked to somewhere new and each new creature offered a fresh challenge and opened up new ways to think about the tasks at hand. Minor issues aside, Little Nightmares 2 is a spot-on sequel, delivering more of what made the original so great in the first place, while adding that little something extra thanks to its AI companionship with Six. Thankfully, these moments were really rare, meaning we could count the amount of times Little Nightmares 2 left us frustrated on one hand. This left us feeling drained: the moment of fear had passed, leaving us frustrated.Įven on a more basic level, during time-pressured moments if we weren't at the perfect angle to pick up a weapon or pull out a fuse, the game would assume you had a different idea – an obvious drawback of mapping multiple key actions to a single button.
