Disclosure: Review key provided by Publisher (Bandai Namco Entertainment<\/a>)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dark Pictures Anthology is a series of short narrative horror games developed by Supermassive Games. The same studio that brought us 2015 PS4 exclusive Until Dawn in the same genre and in 2019 gave us the first entry in the Anthology – Man of Medan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first part of the series released in August 2019, and had a fairly lackluster reception, particularly due to its ending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Little Hope Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Little Hope is the latest entry into the Anthology and while it has a very interesting premise, the formula that the game presents does surpass that of the Medan but could be a case of beauty being in the eye of the beholder. Here is our detailed The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope Review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gameplay:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Supermassive took a lot of feedback from fans from the previous entry and made a lot of positive changes to the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The game has much smoother transitions between dialog choices, there are now more options when switching between cameras depending on your setting, you are warned of Quick Time Events (QTE) preemptively so that you are ready at the buttons, context sensitive icons that help you interact with items, and an overall improvement to walking animations, controls and improving the walking speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
