Check out the first look at the second instalment of The Dark Pictures horror anthology series from the makers of Man of Medan and Until Dawn.
I found it enjoyable enough, but definitely not as good as until dawn. Worth a try now that it's cheap.How does the first one stand up? This might be good for my quest of finding videogames for my dad
I loved Until Dawn and enjoyed Man of Medan well enough. But I'm excited for Little Hope because I read an article where the developers talked about how they heard the criticisms people had for Man of Medan (a lot of which I agreed with) and were able to make adjustments. I just pre-ordered this, can't wait!
Did you play it alone or with others?Really enjoyed Man of Medan. The criticism I had was the predictable story and some of the QTE's. Really looking forward to Little Hope sine the story is more super-natural.
I tried playing Man of Medan but the characters all felt super fake and silly in comparison to Until Dawn where they felt silly but they felt real.Man of Medan was a little disappointing, hopefully this one end up a bit better.

I tried the Man of Medan demo, and I didn't like the characters or the setup, so I passed on getting the full game. We'll see if I feel differently about this one.
Did you play Until Dawn by chance? One of my favs so MoM was already going to struggle to grip me the same way, but you are right about MoM. The characters were just kind of unlikable, and not unlikable like the UD ones for their attitudes and behaviors, they were just not good at putting together a story that was gripping being told this way. I think the premise for MoM could have been a really solid survival horror style game, but it was beyond obvious what had happened and that comes too early for the rest of the game to not be a snoozefest.
Little Hope for the bit I've watched early on should be a better setting this go at it. Can do some real spooky shit and have some jump scares that are atmospheric versus just stuff popping up on the screen to try to make you jump.
