The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope review



After the first episode of the horror game series The Dark Pictures Anthology premiered, the Supermassive Games development team showed us episode two, titled Little Hope, one year later. After we witnessed the first episode, we went back to the experience. In this episode, I learned about the improvements he made to the previous part and its comprehensive story to introduce you to this comment.


This story is separate from the first episode. You don't need to be familiar with the details. It started when a bus suddenly capsized, overturning and causing some scars and injuries to passengers, including college students and their teachers. This is the so-called little hope. As the dense fog spreads, it mysteriously takes you back to your starting point. You can't find any solution other than applying to the small town. Here, things suddenly get very interesting, especially when I was drawn into the past until the end of the seventeenth century, with the advent of magic, people were tried and executed. There are clear similarities between the roles encountered in the past and the roles played now.


The general idea of ​​this story is very interesting, in some cases there is ambiguity and similarities between it and the present and the past, and it even brings some surprises here and there, but the defect lies in the details and differences between the characters, the dialogue is present. Due to the loss of characters, the interaction between them is very superficial, and there are many illogical and strange choices. Her identity sometimes resembles moving inanimate objects most of the time, but she gets angry suddenly, or finds it time for some humor, and the relationship system between characters is back, so dialogue establishes trust between characters or distrust. And the development of certain characteristics of these characters, such as courage or deception, but we did not find that these characteristics do not have a fundamental impact on the dialogue or dialogue. With regard to character behavior, such as the latest version.


The graphics are generally good, and the character details are excellent, but most of the time the facial expressions and lip movements are constant, enhancing the feeling that these characters are inanimate beings, and the melody here is excellent. the last. Versions, because we think they are appropriate and breathe life into the stalked or endangered parts. The game provides Arabic translation of menus and texts, and the translation effect is good in general, but unfortunately, it uses small fonts and fonts that are difficult to read, and due to the current lack of options to adjust the text size, it is intended for those who do not understand the English language .. Said may suffer from pain.


As in the previous episode, this game is an interactive movie experience. Before looking for clues and secrets of the next environment, you can move on to the next environment and interact with the characters we mentioned to determine the course of the event. The game's decision is illogical, as many of the scenes are full of fallacies and illogical things. This makes you feel like you are watching a horrible horror movie. The final episode of "Medan Man" is the direction and results that can be obtained due to the accident. But when we try "Little Hope" a second time, we find that the diversity has been reduced. Whatever you do, many key events cannot be changed, which is a little disappointing. The game is full of scenes where you need to press buttons or QTEs at the right time. A nice tweak made by the development team is to add a code that tells you that you're about to start shooting in a scene, so you're ready for that scene.

If you want to try the experience together, you can use the "Movie Night" option, which is in the same stage as the previous version. At this point, you can choose each of the five characters, and then who will play with them to provide the console for your companion. When the time comes, he chooses this role, the story is still a common story stage, that is, you are facing part of the experience


So your choices will influence each other, even if the impact in this episode is much less than in the previous one.

Since we wanted to check the different files and collect secrets, it took about four and a half hours for the end of this episode. For us, the value of re-experiencing this episode is less than the previous one, which is only twice with us. The similarities found are the same. Little Hope suggests a fun story with its overarching theme, but in many cases, the content of the story about your dialogue and decision-making is superficial, full of fallacies, and illogical. It is enough to preserve the errors of the previous version.
