Supermassive Games' The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope scored big at last night's TIGA Awards 2021, winning two prizes including the most coveted one, the Game of the Year award.
A surprising choice, to be sure, even though Chris praised last year's entry in the anthology horror series. His review rated The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope 8.5 out of 10, with the following summary:
The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope takes the Supermassive Games formula and improves on the previous outing, Man of Medan, in so many ways. With a more interesting story, a strong set of characters, the masterful building of atmosphere and more, you're going to be left on the edge of your seat while playing through this story. The excellent branching narrative, as well as multiplayer options also increase the gameplay value exponentially. This still isn't perfect, the sloth-like movements of characters can be annoying later on and some QTE's are annoyingly cheap, but this is still a brilliant game, one I would recommend to anybody.
