The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope

In terms of story, this game is definitely an improvement over the last, but it doesn't really work for a choose your own adventure game. If this were a book, it would be great, but once you figure out the twist, you realize how much your choices don't matter in the long run. I value story over anything when it comes to these games though, which is why I still gave it a positive review.

Just like in [i]Man of Medan[/i], in [i]Little Hope[/i] you guide a group of people through a nightmarish situation. Your decisions determine the outcome of the story, and tiny things you do at the beginning might have serious consequences later on. This one felt more linear. Without doing a completely new playthrough, replaying the last chapter and making different dialogue choices changed some cutscenes, but the final outcome was always the same. And that's also due to the story. There's a big overarching revelation at the end, one you might not like. Also, the only real life or death situations seem to happen during combat quick-time events. Because of these, I had to cheat the run by restarting a chapter several times. Normal QTEs are one thing, but QTEs where you also have to aim at a target that isn't clearly specified become guesswork. And the timers for these events were extremely restrictive. I hated them and they felt like very cheap deaths. The visuals, audio, and voice acting were all very good, and the tension was certainly there. In the end, I did like the playthrough, but I'll probably leave it at that. I don't see the point of going through it a second time. Good, but I think [i]Man of Medan[/i] was a better game.

По сравнению с военной частью - полный бред. Логика очень страдает. Умерли 3 персонажа, хотелось перепройти игру чтобы попробовать их спасти. Как только показали развязку и что вообще к чему - сразу отпало желание. Стало на всех всё равно. [spoiler] всё равно никого не существует, и мы просто смотрим бредни в голове гг. А самое обидное, что всю игру (играли в компании) мы старались улучшать отношения между персами, прожимали все qte. Но если мы правильно поняли из прочитанного в инете после прохождения, то в моментах где персонаж просит помочь или хочет геройствовать, то нужно геройствовать. Типо сами должны забороть своего демона. ну что за бред, вся игра нам намекает что нужно работать в команде и улучшать отношениями между персонажами, чтобы в критических моментах они не помогали друг другу. После концовки немного понятно почему так надо делать, типо гг борется со своими демонами. но блин в игре все эти демоны воспринимаются как существующие монстры. Короче очень слабо [/spoiler]

Absolutely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game. Hopefully will forget about it quickly

I have mixed feelings abt this game. its not really bad, id say that its actually good but the story is really short and kinda boring. youre just walking around doing the same things over and over again with maybe a couple sudden moments and jumspcares, thats all.... also this game is buggy as ahhhh: it crashes, houses are floating and textures are missing. 5 years later and its still the same. the game didnt even register me as finishing the story even tho i did because it literally crashed the sec i finished the last cutscene... try it out if you like these kind of games and if its on sale but other than that there are for sure better games in the dark pictures series than this one.

(Spoilers) I played Little Hope right after finishing Man of Medan, and it has some positives and some negatives. My biggest issue with the game was the characters. Most of them were just not very likeable and came across as annoying, especially when compared to the cast of Man of Medan. I also found the setting pretty boring. The game mostly takes place around old abandoned houses, roads, and forests, and after a while it starts to feel repetitive. Compared to Man of Medan, where you're exploring an abandoned ship, or games like Until Dawn and The Quarry, where the locations feel memorable and important to the story, Little Hope's setting feels much more basic. The jumpscares were definitely scarier than the ones in Man of Medan, but the game relies on them a little too much. Almost every time you're about to see something from the past, there's a loud scare. It made me feel like the developers didn't really know how to build a scary atmosphere naturally. The game wasn't particularly scary overall, although the story surrounding the burned house and the witch trials was pretty eerie at times. Despite my criticisms, I think Little Hope does a few things really well. The game's lore is much more interesting and easier to follow than Man of Medan, and the witch trial storyline creates a genuine sense of mystery that kept me invested until the end. The premonition pictures are also more useful this time around, making it feel like your choices and observations matter. While I wasn't a huge fan of the main plot twist, I did enjoy how much thought the different endings can provoke. Seeing how your decisions affect who survives and what ultimately happens gives the game good replay value and makes the conclusion more memorable than I expected. The locked traits were also a nice addition even though it is kinda unfair to save a character you then watch die, but it fits the narrative. Overall, I don't think Little Hope is one of the stronger games in The Dark Pictures Anthology, but it could still worth playing if you can get it on sale. It has some good ideas and a stronger lore than Man of Medan, even if the characters, setting, and horror don't always land.

What a game again by dark pictures anthology and the last twist was unexpected this series has nailed it and still next 2 games are left for sure i will recommend to play little hope with his scary jumpscares and dark environment and etc everything was top notch.

Ребята, если вы хотите действительно классную игру, с интересным сюжетом, прикольными персонажами, хорошей развязкой событий И с максимально уёбской концовкой - вам сюда. Потенциал у игры огромный, крутая графика и головоломки, но концовка... Как можно такую хорошую историю слить в это говно. Перевернуть в шизу. Знала бы я раньше об этой конченой концовке - не проходила бы. 3/10

Wtf is this ending, saving everyone with quick time events the whole game just for the padlocks to kill them all at the end

Super cliche nothing burger
