The Dark Pictures Anthology series of horror games by Supermassive Games now has three games under its belt and by all accounts, more are on the way. Now that there are a few games to work with, let’s dive into sorting through them all and coming up with a ranking of the best games in The Dark Pictures Anthology series.
3. Little Hope
Best Dark Pictures Anthology Games
Little Hope is the second game in The Dark Pictures Anthology, but it lands last on our list of the best games in the series. Not only did it not take any steps forward really from Man of Medan, but it actually regressed in most ways as well.
Little Hope follows a group of students and their teacher as they become stranded in an abandoned ghost town known as Little Hope. A mysterious fog prevents them from leaving and they are soon hunted by vicious monsters that stalk the town.
It’s not a bad game by any means, and there are some genuinely scary and tense moments. However, Little Hope relies heavily on jump scares to up the fright factor on scenes that were otherwise not very scary. It also has a very strange story, with three different plot points that appear very loosely connected and then are finally connected kind of out of nowhere in the end in a very unsatisfying way.
It might have the eeriest setting of all three games, but that’s about all it has over the other two.
