*Not a professional review in any way shape or form, I'm just bored and a bit too passionate about this game
Okay so I love the way in which Little Nightmares combines such sensitive and macabre topics and imagery with the innocence of the protagonists, who are children. And not only that, but the the ability that the scriptwriters have had to create such an interesting narrative and storyline in a game that doesn't have dialogues or text. The world in which the game takes place in is both fascinating and bizarre. I recently realized that since the game is played in a 3rd person view, it almost seems like you're playing with a dollhouse, which subconsciously brings the player closer to childhood, if that makes sense?
I am probably writing random thoughts I have about this game that don't have a connection, okay. So I also really like the choice of colors made in this game, since the lugubrious and blue tinted imagery creates contrast with the main character, Six, who wears a yellow raincoat. By the way did you know that in Little Nightmares II (I can't remember in which part exactly, I think that Six was walking through the city) a little paper boat appears next to a sewer, making a direct reference to the little kid with the raincoat in the movie It? Well now you know.
Also the characters are so fucking cute like look at this little shit:
Like don't worry Six, I know that you killed and ate a grown ass woman I still love you, you're so adorable. I don't know how to center images.
And Little Nightmares I was also a really amazing game, but when Little Nightmares II got released?? Like they just took it to the next fucking level I love this game so much.
And now I'm gonna talk about some reasons why I *DON'T* like Little Nightmares III, even though the game hasn't been released yet. Because being a hater is good from time to time. Okay so just watching the trailer, the game just DOESN'T SEEM SCARY? WHERE'S THE TENSION? THE SUSPENSE? THE HORROR?? And for the very first time we don't have Six, which is the character in which the whole game revolves, and SHE ISN'T THERE? Maybe she appears in the game at some point (or at least I hope so...) but I feel like the fact that Six isn't there made the fans feel very disconected from this third game trailer.
By the way can we talk about how they keep postponing the release date? Like GIVE US THE FUCKING GAME (I'm not gonna buy it but I like watching gameplays). Usually I don't mind release dates being postponed, if it means that we'll be getting a more polished and curated version, instead of a rushed and incomplete game. But the game was supposed to come out in like Halloween 2023?? THAT'S ALMOST 2 YEARS AGO. Well maybe not, it's like a year and a half but STILL. I ALMOST FORGOT THAT LITTLE NIGHTMARES III IS SUPPOSED TO BE A THING.
Now let me talk about the character design for LN3. Look at them:
They are cool but I feel like there's too much going on with their designs. In LN1 and LN2 the main characters' appearance was much more simple and minimalistic, I think that here the designs are a bit too much. And I MISS SIX, WHERE THE HELL IS SIX!!!
I don't know what else to say, I'll update this when I finish studying, which I should have been doing hours ago but I kind of got stressed and had to distract myself somehow.
