u/Silver-Entrance-4004

I mean, everything about him screams evil, his First scene Is him Killing for no reason a gnome and laughing about It as if It was the funniest thing in the world.

Later on we can se how this guy seems to have a beaf with gnomes since he has dozens of them trapped on cages and bottles scattered all over his mansion

Every time that he kills us or he think that he killed us he start laughing his ass out

He seems to have put dozens of traps on his house in order to kill every free gnome that might pass by.

Lastly in the zone with the Cage that Will fall on him, there his a gnome inside a box surrounded by traps, this means that the Naturalist put him there and added the traps knowing the poor gnome would never be able to escape

After LN3 I tought The Kin and Mini Kin where the Word of the Worst, but the naturalist proved himself to be even more cruel than those two

Ok, I must Say that I was left very satisfied by this game.

Technical aspects:

The gameplay was really able to transfer the basic LN mechanics (climbing and pushing big objects) in VR in a good way

The atmosphere Is Just perfect, while in LN3 (which I like) there where some moments that Sid not really gave a LN atmosphere, Altered Echoes was able to give those same vives in every room.

The sound effects are Majestic, from the Monsters sound to the music the team have done a Splendid job.

Chapters:

Chapter 1: feelt nice to be back in the signal tower and uncocer some of its secrets like what happens to the Kids there, Tough It felt kinda short

Chapter 2: rerurning to the school was also pleasent, tough It Is confusing for me since now the school looks so destroyed and all the bullies are dead for some reason

Chapter 3: the train station/train was intresting, the station was intresting even if a Little too short and the train was cool has hell and has my favorite antagonist of the game

Chapter 4: the Mansion Is ok, has a cool atmosphere, cool estetic and this chapter Is absolutley NON GNOME FRIENDLY. however It was honestly too short, I feel like It could have been done a Little more with It

Chapter 5: my least favorite chapter of the whole game, the fist part where we crawl inside the music box Is cool but everything After that Is Just... Nah...

And now lets get to the juicy part, the Monsters:

The petrefying eyes: they are cool, nice that they are back but feel like they could have been given a Little more screen time, but overall ok

The Thin Man: got to be honest, I was a Little dissapointed that we got so Little of him, we see him capturing Six at the beggining, walking around the tower for 2 seconds and then the First chapter forgets about him till the very end, but got to Say, the Chase with his hands crawling out of the TVs was cool as hell

The Teacher: ohhhhhh her, She Is hands down the One that scared me the most in this game, her AI Is honestly well done (something that LN3 was not able to do), when we make a mistake She does not immediatly kills us but uses her neck to investigate, giving the player the time to Hide. And I have to be honest, She got ma a few times and having her fave straight up in front of yours Is not a pleasent Moment. And also, for the ones Who wonders... YES!!! We finally kill her!!!

The workers (Headless dudes):... Honestly I was dissapointed by them, they litterally appear in ONE room, and they Just walk, all we have to do Is walk when the are still, no Chase, no stealth, One scene. At this point putting the guests instead would have made a lot more Sense

The guests: not much to Say about them, since allmost all of then Just sleeps, they are still creepy and the puzzle where we have to Cook for the One guests that Is still awake was nice

The Train Conductor: my favorite of this game, at First I was incertain by the fact that he seemed too much like the doctor but I was wrong. I love that they made him more Lizard-like and the fact that he sedate the Guests with his wisthle was extreamly cool, he also has the best Chase sequenze of the game, I was also suprised by the fact that he survived, i expected him to die at the end of the Chase but was Happy yo be proved wrong. so I 100% approve the train conductor

The Naturalsit (yes, apparently he's not a Photographer...ok?): he is pretty good, his design Is fery cool and the AI is very well made, tough sometimes he started walking in circles for no reason but I Guess its fine since It Just came out, Wish he ad a Little more screen time tough.

Monster Six: uh... Not much to Say about her, we dont really fight her She Just exist, make noise and run away, was expecting her to be the Final boss to be honest

Shadow hands: people complain about the Hypnotist of LN3 but THIS Is the real worst final boss of the franchise, there Is no explenation about what they are, they Just appear and (poorly) try to catch Shadow Six and at the end we dont really fight them and defeat them, this really dissapointed me

All things considered, Little Nightmares Altered Echoes Is a really good game with valid gameplay and perfect atmosphere, however I feel like a few things could have been tought out Better and its a Little too short.

Overall I give It an 8/10
