Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
215 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
With that said, Little hope tells a compelling story that blends elements of the past with the present to create a edge of your seat thrill ride up until the end.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
59 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Third person exploration, with loads of cutscenes, some QTE’s, finding collectibles and making lots of choices, choices which unlike most of the later TellTale games actually matter in the grand scheme of things..
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
41 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
That said, it’s more fun in co-op and works well for its short, roughly four-hour length.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Visually, Little Hope is striking, making excellent use of lighting, weather effects, and detailed environments to craft a somber and oppressive mood.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Maybe voice acting isn't perfect but it's really good for most of the part.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There is an option to choose between a controller (if you have one), point & click, and mouse & keyboard, which I thought was a nice addition.
