There’s recently been a trailer released starring Derren Brown, and – even if you don’t know who that is – it will definitely get you in the mood to explore the game’s creepy worlds. Little Nightmares 2 is a much anticipated sequel for many thanks to how creepy and unforgettable the original was. You can probably find better games in this genre, and better things to do with your time.The game can also be completed much quicker on your second playthrough similar to accessible speedruns for many with the first game. It's highly unbalanced between the main game and final fight, and pretty frustrating when I defeated him I thought 'Hooray that I don't have to play this game anymore!' It would have been fine if it had the pacing of Super Meat Boy throughout (you will win the final battle with patience, as you attempt it so many times you come to memorise every aspect until there is nothing left to surprise you, and chance alone will ensure you eventually win), but it was fairly laid back all the way and then BLAM, die a hundred times and try again on the last dude.
While the whole game takes 2 hours to get to the end, the final boss then takes a full 2 hours (in my case) to beat, ON EASY MODE. The other main complaint is the pacing and time distribution. While the bullet and movement physics are pretty cool, the controls are a bit sticky and not very responsive (the last thing you want in a sidescrolling action game). Generally a fairly fun game, with big problems later on. All in all, I'd definitely recommend this to anyone that's a fan of the genre. Much like Killing Floor, I felt the soundtrack was neither good or bad, just there. Graphically the game has all the fun and nonsensical cyberpunk stuff you'd expect from a game of this genre (read: giant robot fish piranhas), but jaggy lines over everything make it a bit hard to stomach on anything but windowed mode. My only qualms with the game would have to be with the low FPS in certain situations (likely due to all the physics) and the short nature of the game (3 hours long for me), though it has replay value due to the almost emergent aspect of the physics and how the enemy AI decides to react to it. I'm not just talking about physics-based puzzles either I'm talking enemy mechs that will latch onto objects and throw them at you, destructible buildings, grenades that bounce all over the place and blasts everything near it away once it ticks down, etc. It's a game very much done in the style of Gunstar Heroes and Metal Slug, but with lots of inventive weapons, incredible boss fights, and crazy use of physics in the level design. There really isn't much to say about it that isn't summized with the fake title I gave it. Gunstar Heroes: Physics Edition! Probably one of the best surprises I've had in a while from going through my Steam Winter sale haul.
