Now that Little Nightmares 2 has released, reviewers have praised the game’s horror aesthetics and gameplay. It seems an improvement upon the classic original in almost every way, as players navigate various puzzle and platforming challenges in this horror adventure. So, just how long does Little Nightmares 2 take to beat?
The answer can vary, mostly based on playstyles and how long players spend on some of the game’s puzzles. Reviewers of Little Nightmares 2 are a bit split when it comes to some of these puzzles. Some reviewers found the puzzles to be a nice part of the game, while others found quite a few puzzles to be tedious. Ultimately, this will determine how long players actually spend with the game.
With its creepy aesthetics and platforming, there’s a lot to love about Little Nightmares 2. Fans of the original game should love the sequel, even if some of the puzzles feel a little arduous. And for those interested in checking the game out before buying it, a free demo of Little Nightmares 2 is available. Now that a lot of people are playing it, there’s a better idea of just how long the game takes to beat – and while it’s still a fairly short game, it’s longer than the original.
How Long It Takes To Beat Little Nightmares 2
Little Nightmares 2 takes around 5 hours to beat, although some early reviewers managed to beat it even faster in around four hours. Players who may get hung up on a puzzle or two could spend more like 6-7 hours in the game, so five hours seems like a safe average. This is still admittedly pretty short for a game that costs $30-$40, so some fans may want to wait for a sale.
It’s worth noting that Little Nightmares 2 is still almost twice as long as the original game, despite being so short, so fans of the first entry may be fine grabbing the game during its launch week. Its playtime is also comparable to that of Little Nightmares: Complete Edition, for those who’ve played through the first Little Nightmares and all of its DLC. So, overall, Little Nightmares 2 feels like a great successor both in terms of gameplay and the amount of time it takes to beat the game.
Fans of the first game will definitely want to check out Little Nightmares 2. The game takes around 5 hours to beat, and it’s available now on PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One.
