The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope

9/10

After a brief foray into the world of VR, Supermassive Games returned to the horror genre last year with The Dark Pictures Anthology, a series of horror titles exploring different themes. They initially aimed to release two games per year. Thanks to Covid-19 they haven’t been able to keep up with that schedule. The second of those titles, Little Hope, missed its planned summer window. I think we’d all agree, though, that Halloween is a more appropriate release.

Little Hope is a return to form for Supermassive Games. After the somewhat slow and dry Man of Medan, Little Hope arrives with a narrative audacity and assured performances that place The Dark Pictures Anthology squarely on the top of the interactive filmic adventure game heap. With a rich, complex, and wickedly surprising narrative, Little Hope is well worth playing, despite some awkward moments and transitions.

Get your clean underpants ready as Supermassive Games have unleashed their latest game in time for Halloween: The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope. With solid foundations and a lineage in the genre, will the latest entry in the franchise be a cheap, hollow trick or a dark, sinister treat?

The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope is a noticeable improvement as it spins a mysteriously horrifying tale that still ends up lacking in some areas.

Little Hope proves that the Dark Pictures format isn’t a fluke and I’m excited for Supermassive to continue honing its craft. On that note, I love how these games tease forthcoming installments with collectible in-game premonitions. Next up, the seemingly Descent-inspired House of Ashes.

The Dark Pictures: Little Hope is atmospheric, intriguing, and mysterious. It's not exactly scary, however.

Supermassive's next installment in their scary anthology series Little Hope is a short but spooky tale. It's a step up from its previous title but still has yet to reach the level that Until Dawn set. With a cast of five characters to play from, co-op is the best way to play. It excels at telling an interesting narrative but after 4 short hours it doesn't stand out in much else.

We tell you, it’s a good game! It’s not average! It might have some problems here and there, but you have to admit it is a “Good” game.

I’m a fan of Supermassive Games and have been ever since Until Dawn. While their games don’t always deliver on scares, they’re still an enjoyable experience, for the most part. Rush of Blood is still one of my favorite VR games to date and I wish they would release another title like it. Instead, they seem to be going all-in with their interactive movie styled games with The Dark Pictures Anthology. Man of Medan was their first entry into the series, which I enjoyed quite a bit despite ...

The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope is a passable experience, but also a largely forgettable one

Like Man of Medan, Little Hope is gorgeous to look at. The character models are naturally the spitting-image of their actors, while for the most part, the performances are spot-on. There are some rough performances throughout though, alternating between hammy and wooden lines here and there. It adds a certain “slasher flick” vibe to things, which is fun, but it can take you out of the experience now and then.
