Released just a few months ago, the title has received utmost praise as an artistically spooky sequel. Following the original’s massive success and its history, Tarsier Studios has created a veritable upgrade for their second nightmarish outing. With brand new larger-than-life levels and tons of secrets to find and understand; the sequel gives players the extra freedom the first didn’t offer. With the first game feeling claustrophobic at times, Little Nightmares 2 brings players into the world around them and genuinely sets them in great shadow box-like areas.
Releasing on a multitude of platforms also gives the studio lots of flexibility and much more opportunity to sales which is almost definitely how they’ve reached this milestone so fast. With this announcement, there are tons of players visiting Pale City and experiencing all of the thrills for the first time. You can experience the game for yourself either through Steam on PC, the PlayStation Store, the Microsoft Store, or the Nintendo Switch eShop.
