The Dark Pictures: Little Hope

While not as good as Until Dawn or even Heavy Rain, this was a huge improvement over Medan. I wanted so hard to like that game because I love the Ashmores, but it was terrible. I didn't know a single actor in this game, but I was able to really dive into their characters. The story telling is 10x better than MoM, and the qte's have been improved.

I will agree with others and say that the jump scares are pretty much nonexistent. In UD, if you had a camera, it would turn on right before a scare, and while for some that cheapened the moment, for me that made me even more tense. I didn't jump once in this game, and I played with all lights off, surround sound, the works.

But overall it is a decent game. The ending surprised me and I actually liked where they went with it. You could probably wait tho until the price drops.

The Dark Pictures' follow up to Man of Medan comes Little Hope. An original horror that grabs your attention from start to finish. And with a talented cast, like Will Poulter. Now known for Guardians of the Galaxy 3. This is a good video game sequel. It's bold, daring and fearless that they've decided to make this convincing as a serious horror, with a good soundtrack, good 60fps recently, and the story is a never been told before experience. Gameplay is still stiff when it comes to movement with the characters. Needs to be more flexible. Ending was a tiny anti-climatic if I'm being honest, nonetheless it's a good game in general. Not one to miss.

Real talk, I loved this game. The performers nailed their work, the story fascinated me, and I enjoyed the QOL changes made to the gameplay. I *did* have some issues with the walking mechanic, where my character would suddenly shift direction without my input, but the struggle was minimal.

The main reason I knocked off a few stars on my rating (8/10) was because of the ending. The twist was well integrated into the plot but I felt like it cheapened the more interesting story beats in a way that immediately left a sour taste in my mouth.

Other than wishing for a more fulfilling ending, and minor mechanical glitches, the game was/is well worth it in my book.

The second game in the dark pictures anthology named little hope is a very creepy game that made me jump out of my chair and had me scared to my heart little hope does a great job building tension and atmosphere the Gameplay has improved over man of medan and the performances have improved massively the characters were likeable and had good chemistry together and the jumpscares were very affecting the curator also improved over the last game he had more to do and I liked him more than i originally did however its ending was disappointing and had me confused over then that little hope was fun and exciting.

Better than Until Dawn imo. The story is fantastic and the ending made me think. This game is tense and mysterious and intriguing. Gameplay, Until Dawn excels, but story wise this one takes the medal.
