Really good game! Had a lot of fun with the puzzles. Loved the atmosphere and monster designs. I was a big fan of Little Nightmares so I was pretty excited going into this, but it's definitely not perfect.

First off, It's a lot buggier than the first game. I found myself getting caught on geometry a few times. I think I died a few times to the game just getting confused.
Secondly, the controls for the flashlight section need some work. Some of the bigger crowds of enemies in the hospital just had me spinning around and praying.
Thirdly, I feel like combat barely works. I figured out a rhythm for hitting the porcelain children at some point in the school chapter, but it just doesn't feel right. I didn't have as much trouble with the hands in the hospital, but the children were just annoying. Swinging your weapon is so cumbersome and the timing for hitting the children is so strict and it's hard to tell if you'll miss or not.

The game really excels during its quieter moments, and these are the moments that remind me the most of the first game. I really like climbing through old dusty buildings and finding secrets, however, LN2 tries to throw in a lot of bombastic set piece moments or long sections with sometimes frustrating mechanics. Regardless, this is still a great game and worth your time.
