After
a year of presenting the first episodes of the horror games series The
Dark Pictures Anthology, the huge game development team returns to
introduce us to the second episode entitled Little Hope, and we return
after our experience in the first episode to discover this episode and
learn more about the improvements that have been made to the previous
part and to learn more information about Improvements made to the
previous part.
The
story is separate from the first episode and does not require knowledge
of its details, and it begins with the bus suddenly veering from the
road, which led to its overturning and exposing its passengers to
university students and their teacher to bruises and injuries, and from
this the events begin your search for the bus driver. the present.
The
general idea of the story is interesting, including the ambiguity and
the similarity between the present and the past under certain
circumstances and it even presents some surprises here and there, but
the disadvantage is in the details, the dialogues between the characters
are very superficial and many of the interaction options between them
are irrational and strange because the characters are lost as essential
to the dialogues. Or the behavior of the characters as in the previous
version.
The
graphics are generally good and the character details are excellent,
but the facial expressions and lip movements were rigid most of the
time, enhancing your feeling that these characters are moving blocks
devoid of emotions, the melodies here are excellent and go beyond the
last version where we found them appropriate and breathe a little life
in the corridors where you are being chased Or put you at risk, the game
offers Arabic translation of the menus and texts that were filmed at a
later time. The translation is usually good but unfortunately done with a
small font and kind of
As
the last episode, the game is an interactive cinematic experience where
you can search for clues and secrets in the environment before moving
on to the next environment and interact with the characters as mentioned
to determine the course of events and it is unfortunate that most of
the decisions in the game are illogical and many of the scenes are
filled with a little frustrating, the game is full of scenes that
require A quick press of the button or QTE, and one of the nice tweaks
made by the development team is the addition of icons that tell you that
you are about to start one of those scenes that prepare you for that
scene. 
If
you want to go through the experience collectively, you have the same
stages as the latest release, with the movie night option, in which you
chose each of the five characters and who will play with, to give the
console to your companion who chose this character when the time is
right, there is a joint story stage, Which is always a feature of the
experience, you go through a portion of the experience while another
player is out
The
end of the episode takes about 4 and a half hours due to our desire to
look at the different files and collect secrets, for us the value of
re-experiencing this episode is less than the last episode, and while
the last episode can be fought at least 3 times to satisfy your
curiosity about different possibilities, we just finished this last
episode, but we We haven't learned enough from the latest version
errors. 
The
story is exciting with its idea and its relationship between the past
and the present in mysterious ways - improving the QTE system to inform
the player of his exposure to these scenes - excellent melodies that
evoke the atmosphere of the experience.
The
dialogues and characters are boring and superficial, and the many
scenes and options are full of errors and illogical things - a lot of
the choices and attributes that the characters gain do not actually
affect the course of events which gives less value for replay.
Small
Amal managed to present a story with its original and exciting idea,
but failed to take advantage of this solid foundation with the
introduction of meaningless dialogues and interactions between the
characters, an experience that may appeal to those who liked the
previous episode, but it is not a horror game we recommend
