Little Nightmares II might be the perfect sequel.
In fact, most of my problems with the first game are wholely solved here. The addition of Six as an AI-Controlled partner brilliantly establishes personal stakes to the story that the first game sorely lacked, as well as innovates with a more clever and cooperative approach to puzzle solving. Not only does Six help as an extra set of hands, her AI might be the most natural and lifelike AI companion I've ever experienced in a game.
The setpieces are more thrilling, the tone is more threatening, the gameplay mechanics are more varied and interesting, the visuals (especially the lighting) are more captivating, the whole journey is more awe-inspiring.
Aside from like, two combat encounters with frustratingly tight timings? And maybe some of the jumps are hard to judge sometimes? I really didn't have any problems with this game at all. It's just the perfect sequel, and perhaps my favorite adventure platformer.
