Little nightmares 2 gameplay
I personally have an issue with titles that have you relentlessly chased by something, and Little Nightmares 2‘s first level is all about that. I found these instances derivative and annoying at the beginning of the game, and didn’t feel any different as I progressed.

Little Nightmares 2 is full of these instances, split-second occurrences that you’ll largely be unprepared you’ll die, respawn, and then work around them. No need to worry, though - you’ll certainly notice when you’re then trapped in a net or when a rigged log violently falls from the skies and crushes your tiny body. Eagle-eyed players might notice the first rope hidden amongst fallen leaves on the forest bed, but most will not. Just like in Limbo, you’re at the mercy of its developers. Any narrative offered needs to be gathered and assembled by you, the player, based on what’s occuring around you. While your character can yell out, he doesn’t talk. While the occasional on-screen prompt will advise you of the button needed to grasp, crouch or perform a similar action, you’re largely left to your own devices. Little Nightmares 2 opens in the same way as Limbo: you’re introduced to its protagonist with little fanfare, tasked to head towards the right of the screen in order to continue on. While that combination of popular titles may excite genre fans, the rest of us will likely feel like we’ve been there and done it all before its narrative comes to an end. If Little Nightmares 2 is any indication, Bandai Namco’s newest franchise is more akin to Playdead’s grotesque side-scrolling titles like Limbo and Inside, with puzzle solving elements from Unravel and Brothers thrown in for good measure. I passed on Little Nightmares back in 2017, thinking it more of a puzzle game than anything else. True genre fans may get more of a kick out of this than we did.
