⌚ Time to finish - 3 hours 45 minutes
🤬Difficulty - easy

🔊 Soundtrack - There isn't too much music. But the sounds they have creates an excellent atmosphere. One of the strengths of this game.
🌄Graphics – pleasant to look at.
🌦 Atmosphere – Excellent atmosphere. Tense at times, mysterious, made me feel all kinds of feelings like fear, disgust, startled etc. But nothing to give me a heart attack, or cheap scare tactics.
📚 Main Story / Characters – Light on story but what was there created a sense of mystery. I liked it.
🤺 Combat –None
🧭 Side Activities / Exploration – None apart from collectibles etc. I didn't even know these existed till half way through the game when i randomly stumbled on them. Wish it was clearer so i could have collected more from the beginning.
🚗 Movement/Physics – Ok. There are some clunky controls. I don't understand why, there is a grab button for ledges, ladders. Should just auto grab those w/jump, while grab is for environmental objects like boxes. Some jumps felt imprecise. Expect a few deaths from clunky controls.
📣 Voice acting – Not much

📝 Review:

This was a good game. The puzzles weren't too hard but the atmosphere and story is what made me want to keep playing it. It did feel like it ended abruptly but that's fine its a short game. There is DLC and part 2 to go through which I will go through. I feel in these sort of games, Inside was far better.

💡Final Thoughts:

No reason not to play this game if you are into things like Limbo/Inside/Gris etc.

Definitely worth playing even if its not topping its genre. It provides enough here to make you feel involved, gripped, and generally not a chore to continue and finish.

I enjoyed it enough want to play the DLC and sequel.

At its best, Little Nightmares is a nail-biting experience which bathes you in tension as you creep through environments past vile creatures and try to work out how to escape with the threat of death looming over your shoulder. At its worst it’s a simple puzzle game which constantly reuses basic mechanics. Luckily Little Nightmares is at its best far more than it is at its worse, and the intriguing and twisted world the developers have created is fascinating, becoming increasingly warped till you reach its shocking conclusion.

A terrific sequel to one of my favorite games of all time. Just like its predecessor Last Window gives you the same feeling of reading a really good novel. Though the characters and story are not as captivating as in Hotel Dusk imo, they're still fantastically written. The writers of both games just know how to write their characters. Just like Hotel Dusk this game has flawed characters that still maintain reader sympathy and engagement. Flawed characters are essential to any good story and both games know how to handle them realistically, which leads to very intriguing and natural dialogues.

I wish Cing wouldn't have gone bankrupt, because I need more games like Last Window and Hotel Dusk. Both games are hidden gems that deserve way more love and attention.

We finally got a fully voiced Byleth but at what cost?

I've read fanfiction better than this. Not like I had much hope about the story in the first place since it's a warriors spin-off game with a completely new protagonist. It has some good scenes and fights of course. Especially SB. I actually kinda liked the route and more Edelgard content is always a win, but man ...all in all this game is really kind of a mess.

Some characters behave strangely in order to fulfil nothing more than pure fanservice and awful tropes (looking at you AG). And some of them are just irrelevant in general.

The secret chapters are a joke and just prove that the original characters are unnecessary and only exist because it's a warriors game. I guess that was to be expected but it's still disappointing to see. Welp, I'm glad this isn't canon.

The gameplay is fun for the first few hours then it's getting too grindy and tedious for me.

Overall Three Hopes is an alright game if you like the cast because the new supports and character interactions are fun to watch, but this game only made me appreciate Three Houses even more to be honest.

I know this is a fanservice spin-off "nobody dies" AU, but the circumstances surrounding the lords this time around are too convenient imo. There was simply no tension. Even the endings felt too abrupt and all routes lacked the emotional impact Three Houses offered. The routes were lacking in emotional investment, mostly due to odd pacing and lack of exposition in certain things and character interactions.

(The game leaked a few days ago, so I had the chance to play it early.)

This might be controversial due to the generic anime story and fanservice, which I wasn't all that fond of either, and the general hate surrounding this game, but I actually enjoyed my time with it, especially the soundtrack. It's so good.

Storywise, it's definitely not the best FE has to offer. The premise was good actually, but the execution failed pretty hard for me. Some characters were nothing but quirks, though this game also has some decent and likable characters who I came to enjoy. This, along with the fun gameplay, boosted my enjoyment. The poor localization and some of the fanservice were quite annoying sometimes, though.

Also, playing this with the Gay Fates patch made the experience definitely more fun for me
