If not for a few clunky gameplay mechanics, Little Hope would be the perfect horror game.
Little Hope is a solid spooky story best enjoyed with popcorn and friends. The tension is high, the fear is real, and the mechanics are improved from the previous Dark Pictures instalment. If you’re interested in some witchy goodness and moral judgements, this might be the spooky story for you.

These games aren’t interested in the darker aspects of the human psyche, the vulnerabilities and existential questions which impart the lingering sense of dread that lasts after the story is told. No, The Dark Pictures so far has been all about popcorn-horror, the kind where the viewer screams and jumps before remembering that everything’s all right after. They’re not elegant, but they’re not trying to be - and that’s perfectly acceptable, especially if it’s what the player knows what they’re getting into. And as much as I’d wanted the next Dark Pictures title to take a more cerebral approach to horror, I’m happy to welcome a well-crafted witch-themed slasher game all the same.
There are certain things that don’t quite connect and a handful of plot holes that stick out, but Dark Pictures: Little Hope is definitely worth your time if you’re a fan of the genre or liked Until Dawn and were disappointed with Man of Medan. It’s a game that’s best enjoyed when being played with a group of people to shout out which decisions to make and pass the controller around. At its best, Little Hope is chilling and gripping and creates an internal conflict in the player between wanting to press on and being too scared to see what lies behind the next door.
Little Hope capitalizes on the strengths of Man of Medan, and improves the recipe on a few key aspects, which makes for an overall better game.
It’s a real shame that I was disappointed by Little Hope because otherwise it’s an impressive piece of audiovisual excellence and I just love its genre. If you like Charlie Kaufman’s movies (which I don’t), you may perhaps appreciate the ending better than I did. It remains a mystery why Supermassive Games have degenerated their interactive storytelling formula by restricting players’ influence over events.
There is nothing offensive about the story in Little Hope, and nothing immediately sets off warning bells or narrative decisions I would tell players to consider before going into it. At most, the game is just boring and uninteresting.
The Best game ever...
I played with my daughter and we loved it

With a shocking end it was a definitely satisfying story and gameplay.
Also has still good looking graphics and mechanics in PS4.

Played it back to back to Man of Medan. While Medan was new, this part is a more Story driven and most important scary bit for me personally. Still a lot of bugs and annoying stuff. German voice acting is horrible :)

Nice atmosphere. Nice graphics. Mediocre sound when vlume goes up 100% during jumpscares.
Casual controls.
A series of games where jumpscare lose its meaning. The biggest flaw of the series. Repeatable, boring, useless jumpscares.
