I kinda liked the first game more. Felt a lot more cohesive in terms of themes and story, Little Nightmares 2 felt like it was about something else entirely. And yeah, that ending.
Yeah it feels like they tried something different. With the first one, all the big ennemies were underlings of the Lady. Here, even though they inhabit the city (except for the hunter), they are not linked to the Thin man. It's a bit confusing.
But overhaul the game is still really good and scary. IMO being chased is one of the scariest thing, so stressfull.
I really loved the first one and I was thinking about buying the second one one day.
The art direction was really great and it was a big change from AAA games.
The first one was free on the psplus a year ago.
I really enjoyed this one as well, but I got super frustrated with some parts and ended up putting it down.
