How you avoid these hulking towers of terror, however, is by relying on mostly the same simple stealth techniques established in the original crouch-walking to quieten your footsteps and scurrying between the shadowy undersides of tables during the short windows in which their gaze is averted. Just hearing the leathery squeak of her stretching spine off-camera was enough to make me wince, but the appearance of her dead-eyed grimace bobbling at the end of it and twisting its way up towards my elevated hiding spot in the classroom’s rafters was a genuinely chilling sight. There are a number of genuinely terrifying creations hellbent on sniffing you out, but the one that had me most on edge was the school teacher with the serpentine neck.

This leads to some hilariously dark moments later on when, after Mono has picked up a discarded TV remote, he’s able to toggle these goggleboxes on and off to draw the focus of certain enemy types and lure them to their death like media-loving lemmings.Īs was the case with the original, it’s the villains that really are the stars of Little Nightmares 2.And as was the case with the original, it’s the villains that really are the stars of Little Nightmares 2. Speaking of which, busted boob tubes are found littered along your path through Little Nightmares 2’s gloomy narrative, which appears to be a sardonic commentary on the screen obsession of modern society. It also breaks the immersion somewhat that Mono is so easily spotted the moment he sets foot outside of the shadows, yet Six can seemingly stumble around in the spotlight right under an enemy’s nose and attract about as much attention as a broken television set.

While Six’s inclusion eventually has a surprising story pay-off late in Little Nightmares 2 - in a way I won’t spoil here - her presence feels largely underutilised for the bulk of the adventure. But much like a little sister, Six also often finds herself getting in the way, stubbornly standing still to block your path while you’re dragging a piece of furniture, or accidentally nudging you out of cover when you’re trying to remain hidden from the watchful gaze of a wide-eyed warden. It’s admittedly quite adorable the way Six will occasionally mimic Mono’s actions when he picks up an important puzzle item, she’ll often scoop up a wooden building block and amble along behind him, shadowing him like a younger sibling. There aren’t any complex mechanisms that demand to be operated in tandem, and it doesn’t really ever get more dynamic than simple synchronised acts like climbing on top of a piano lodged among some broken floorboards and timing your jumps so that the combined force of your landing can propel it downward into the basement. Yes, there’s a dedicated input for beckoning her over to your position, but I don’t really recall ever actually needing to use it in order to coordinate a way towards a puzzle solution.

This obviously helps to minimise trial and error in more high pressure sequences, but her companionship doesn’t really introduce much in the way of teamwork as far as puzzles are concerned. Instead, Six acts as a handy guide whenever one of Little Nightmares 2’s adult antagonists gives chase, blazing a trail a few yards in front of you and indicating, for instance, which crate to hide behind a split second before a lumbering farmer can unload a shotgun spray.

Six’s role is that of a slightly more proactive version of Yorda from Ico, but her relationship with Mono doesn’t really evolve into the partnership that made the PS2 classic so special. Additionally, Mono is equipped with the services of Six herself, since she tags along as an AI-controlled partner through much of the journey. The key difference here is Mono’s ability to pick up and wield a handful of different weapons to either smash through specific sections of the scenery, or to swat away smaller enemies like the disembodied hands that stalk you through Little Nightmares 2’s hospital level. New protagonist Mono may look different to the original game’s Six, donning a paper bag mask in place of her distinctive yellow raincoat, but his skill set is largely the same.
