(mini-review.)

Little Hope fails to learn from its predecessor's mistakes. It's a game with a great hook/idea and the very real allure of co-op horror multiplay that ultimately suffers from a litany of foibles compromising the entire offering. A sumptuously lavish visual experience, Little Hope simply oozes atmosphere. Unfortunately, the music, voice acting and, most importantly, the plotting are hit or miss, at best. The game lacks serious scares, packing only a few jump scares at most. The controls are simply awful, with characters controlling like shopping carts and the ending is more psychobabble nonsense on par with Man of Medan. Tons of crashes, glitches, and poor performance optimizations abound. Still waiting for Until Dawn. A reasonably fun diversion with a friend if you can get the game on the cheap but certainly not for $30. Maybe not even worth half that.

Worth a look.

7/10.
