“There were hardly any jumpscares and the demons were not even scary at all. They look like some goofy ass clowns tbh. But the thing I loved about the game most is the ENDING. Didn't expected it. Also loved the desolate…”
“I really enjoyed the story in this one, I loved the fact you didn't need 2 player to complete the achievements and out of the 2x Dark Pictures I've played this one just beats Man Of Medan”
“I’m dropping the review after completing The Dark Pictures Anthology: Season One (all 4 games). I picked it up on a 90% sale. Also, I’d like to mention that Friend Pass doesn’t work. I really enjoyed the second game,…”

“A short (approx 4 hours) interactive horror movie where you can play co-op and try and save (or kill) as many people as possible. It's the second game in the anthology and I definitely preferred it to the first. Players…”
“the game is so fun to play with friends, but only limited to 2 players online is not okay, and in this part the ending is not good as other part.”

“This game is a mess. Honestly It's a lot more jank and feels unpolished than Until Dawn or any other multiple choice game, definitely not as good as any Telltale game(even the worst ones). The acting is phenomenal, stan…”
“This was the first of the Anthology games I played. I was impressed by the layers of choice that drove the story's direction as well as character building. The ending I got really messed with my head. I have not yet,…”

“[i]SPOILER ALERT![/i] Little Hope is a solid addition to The Dark Pictures Anythology, however I'm not impressed with it as with the first part: Man of Medan. Sure, this game offers that unique gameplay, somewhat linear…”

“It had a great atmosphere, setting and intriguing story that seemed to span across 3 different timelines, and the characters were mostly likeable. The scares weren't scary at all, but that's very subjective. It also…”
“Up to the point where I ended up (I might play this again in the future but who knows), I really liked the story and all of the characters. The reason I don't recommend this game is because of the combat QTEs. I have…”

“I only did one play-though so far... thought it was pretty good right up until the like very last 5 minutes and then i thought it was GREAT 4/5 stars -1 star for semi-buggy animations”

“good story bit short but fun story game”
“Devs!!! If you are making a horror game with fixed camera on player. Please don't forcefully add exploring the rooms or places everywhere i go. It's hard to explore and it steals the fun of horror game. Make it linear.…”
“A short, interesting little mystery. Worth plaing through in one or two sittings.”

“Oh my god! What a story it was! Loving the series so far ...! It's great to see that the devs have implemented a proper third person camera in this game! :D”
— a player, Steam review · 8 hrs played“Temu Silent Hill 2. Having said that, it's not bad, just not great. I didn't mind the big controversial twist as much as others seemed to, but you could feel the lower budget compared to Until Dawn and even the other Dark Pictures games. Way too much slow wandering and repeating…”
— a player, Steam review · 6 hrs played“Though it has an interesting story, the clunky cutscene take away from the immersion. What do you mean you're like miles away from the creature and the next second it's right beside you. It's just sad that none of your inputs matter if you just choose one singular wrong option.…”
