Does Little Nightmares 2 Game have Multiple Endings?

Little Nightmares 2 is a unique take on the genre focusing on puzzle platforming and a terrifying world that is as beautiful as it is haunting the first little nightmares. Its DLC expansions were a great introduction to this frightening universe but little nightmares 2 takes everything a step further with a longer darker and more fascinating experience.

Little Nightmares 2

In the first game, you played as a girl named six navigating her way through an underwater vessel called the maw. She returns in little nightmares too but as a companion to mono the boy protagonist who dawns a heroic paper bag on his head. Here the two explore the world outside of the maw only to discover that it’s, even more, terrifying filled with new giant enemies that will make your skin crawl, unlike many horror games. Little nightmares 2 does not have any jump scares instead the tension comes from trying to hide and run away from massive creepy enemies ranging from a hunter equipped with a shotgun to a schoolteacher with a freakishly long neck.

They look act and behave like creatures straight out of a little kid’s nightmares while you can’t fight these villains head-on evading them is still a fun challenge having you memorize. Their unique patterns to avoid their lines of sight or their attacks one of my favorite enemy encounters is these hospital patients made up of various body parts who freeze under the light.

So, you have to use the flashlight to keep them at bay it’s easy when there’s one of them but two three four now that’s a frightening challenge. You will also encounter smaller enemies that can be fought depending on if you have a blunt object or ax in your hand and you have to pay attention to when the enemy telegraphs that they’re about to attack leaving them.

Open to a quick swing in a sense these combat encounters are also more like timing-based puzzles than actual fight sequences. These sections are not as common but they’re a nice break to finally get back at the creatures that have been torturing you all this time each encounter with an enemy big or small has felt fair and well balanced.

They don’t have any cheap impossible to dodge attacks and I felt like every mistake I made was my fault and not the games well except for these traps. Fortunately, they’re not in the game too often but it’s real easy to miss the pieces of wood on the ground that trigger them and result in your demise like it or not dying is part of the learning experience and little nightmares 2.

Little Nightmares II Switch

Thankfully, the loading times on the switch have vastly improved over the first game previously the brutally long load times felt like a punishment for dying on the switch lasting up to 25 seconds which have now been reduced to just 5 seconds at worst I’m impressed. They were able to shrink the load times so much on the switch and I’m also impressed with the overall port it’s definitely running at a lower resolution than on the other consoles.

But the art of game direction is much strong that the lower pixel count doesn’t ruin the general tone and feel of the game that and the switch does a good job of maintaining 30 frames per second with some dips during high-intensity chase sequences. I only noticed two instances where the frame rate was distractingly low but it quickly readjusted itself back to normal I also played a bit in portable mode and it looks and runs about the same that said whenever you are about to play this awesome game.

Little Nightmares 2 story

In portable mode make sure it’s in the dark with the best headset or pair of headphones. You can get your hands on it because one the music is amazing and two there are a couple of puzzles with audio cues that you’re going to need to hear because this is a puzzle platformer. There are a lot of puzzles that involve moving platforms and this time you won’t do that alone as previously mentioned six from the first game is here to give you a helping hand as an ai companion and she does her job well.

She will give you boosts over high ledges help you jump across long gaps and she will nicely give you some hints if you need to go somewhere or to hide my favorite ai companions are ones that don’t get in the way or slow you down so 6 definitely fits that category that and she plays a huge part in the story as for the general puzzles in the game. They mostly consist of moving furniture to reach high spots or finding keys to unlock doors.

There was only one puzzle that stumped me involving a chessboard but other than that most of them are pretty easy to figure out instead the challenge of these puzzles comes from not getting caught by monsters as you’re frantically trying to complete them, which is why most of them are simple like escaping through a hole in the wall before getting crushed by a giant enemy.

Little Nightmares II puzzles

It sounds easy but it’s quite a bit more difficult when you’re trying not to get turned into a pancake I wasn’t turned off by the simplicity of the puzzles because they were made exhilarating by the enemy encounters and the atmosphere of the game itself the world might be my favorite part of little nightmares 2 sets primarily in a place called the pale city. This area is gigantic unsettling and uncompromisingly beautiful. There are some wide shots in the game that I’m certain were done just to brag about how good it looks as I progressed deeper and deeper into the pale city.

I couldn’t help but wonder what happened to this once bustling metropolis and a part of me was comfortable not knowing the answer nightmares are not meant to make sense after all and I was fine just letting its illogical nature take hold of me as I kept playing while the story doesn’t outright tell you anything about what happened the answer becomes clearer. The more you play leading up to an impactful conclusion the first little nightmares was a short experience ranging between two to three hours.

Though much longer if you play the DLC expansions the sequel, however, is twice as long about five to six hours and it still left me wanting more and I sure hope they will satisfy me with some DLC episodes down the road luckily. There are reasons to play this game again such as finding hidden collectibles like equippable hats and glitching remains of lost children in the chapter select screen it’ll show you how many you have left.

If you want to do a completionist run looking for these items will lead you to some hidden areas so it would be worth trying if you want to see everything the world of little nightmares 2 has to offer in my spare time I might do another run of this game to get all the collectibles and just re-experience this epically horrifying adventure that I enjoyed every minute of while. There were some puzzles and enemy encounters that made me a little frustrated like those hallway traps.

This game felt more like a ride taking me through a nightmarish world filled with mystery and some creepy monsters along the way I liked little nightmares 2 a lot and I highly recommend it to any fans of the horror and puzzle-platformer genre. Especially if you enjoy games like limbo inside and obviously, the first little nightmares which you should definitely play. If you plan on picking this game up you will appreciate the additional world-building and shorter load times of the sequel.
