From the moment I started to play this my nipples were ready to pierce through the ninja turtles t-shirt I was wearing.

Much like my sex life this game is short, sweet, terrifying, intense and with just a hint of Tim Burton-esque inspired horror. Unlike my sex life it is highly satisfying. I would rather play a short well done game that sticks in your memory though, than a repetitive long tasteless one. Little nightmares is the definition of quality over quantity.

As you can see, this review is going to be a bit of a nightmare.

Little Nightmares feels like a fever dream that makes you feel scared, yet excited. Imagine being trapped in Tim Burtons head. That’s this game.

This is the kind of game where you wish you were still young and your friends were still around so everyone could sit on the couch enjoying the game together during a sleepover at midnight.

I just finished this game not too long ago and I haven't been able to move on because I'm still trying to process how badass of a game this was. Like the first one I was immediately taken aback at how it starts off like it's a cute adorable game, but then turns scary and violent without compromising either the cuteness or the terror of what's happening in the game. I love games like this because they remind me of books. Instead of getting everything at a face value you have to understand context clues, reading between the lines, figurative language, etc. especially with something so visual. The developpers managed to keep the horrific ambiance from the 1st game without changing the formula. Little Nightmares 2 actually felt like an horror game, the sense of danger is trully there.

And the fact that there is no dialogue from any of the characters ever, so the game relies solely on events, images, and sounds to pull you into the story (and of course to scare you) is utter genius. I f**king loved how surreal and creepy this game was without just relying on jump scares and gore. There were times in the game where my jaw DROPPED because I couldn't believe what I had just seen. The imagery in some of the rooms you walk into reminded me of Silent Hill. It does not have to be gory to seriously creep you out. Your imagination will fill in the blanks and that is the type of atmosphere I crave in gaming. I had huge respect for the art design in the 1st game but this one really took it to another level. And the ending was just... Wow. The door closes, the music swells, and you're just kind of left in shock. It got me emotional at the end with literally no dialogue through the whole game. Just powerful storytelling by creative people! Pure atmosphere.

Despite the atmosphere the game isn’t too difficult though and the puzzles are just challenging enough to be satisfying but not frustrating. The simplicity of the controls made me feel like I was playing old school Nintendo games, and it was no less fun to play than games with intricate control systems. I really just enjoyed the majority of the gameplay and sequences. Overall the mechanics, graphics, and general mood were just amazing because of how well they complemented the atmosphere. The game is a true triumph in that regard.

Finally, I can continue talking about the mechanics or the length of the game but it’s not about that. The reason people love Little Nightmares and keep coming back to this is because of the unsettling atmosphere and a world that they can think about for countless hours after the game is concluded. There’s nothing like it. If you're into spooky stuff and gaming this is a must play.

10/10
