Let me explain you some of the history that's behind this game!
Do you remember Until Dawn? If not it's highly recommended that you play it. Supermassive Games and Sony collaborated for the masterpiece of a PS4 exclusive game.When Until Dawn was released in 2015 everyone were so HYPED for the next title by Supermassive Games in the Dark Anthology Series as Until Dawn was such an amazing game.
In 2019, Man of Medan was released, a new title in The Dark Pictures Anthology by the same developers ie. Supermassive Games but this time without the backup of Sony Entertainment. This game was unfinished garbage. The incomplete scenes and lack of playtesting was clearly visible.In the end the characters story was incomplete and some scenes didn't make sense. Also this game was released with a CoOp mode which made the storyline of the game senseless in single player mode as half of the part was covered in the second players. I could literally go on with the problems with Man of Medan but let's not get into that
Let's dig into the Latest title by Supermassive Games in The Dark Pictures Anthology
Let's start about what the game is About-
The Dark Pictures Anthology : Little Hope
Abandoned and all alone, 4 college students and their teacher become stranded in an isolated town miles from anywhere after their bus crashes in bad weather. Trapped by a mysterious fog in the town of Little Hope, they search desperately for a means of escape whilst visions from the past haunt them from the shadows.

Let's Review Little Hope!
This time around Supermassive Games focused more on the story and have a better Solo and CoOp mode. The game is roughly 4 to 6 hrs depending on how detailed you play it.
Little Hope has an intriguing Story with some questionable writing but thats ok as it's fun talking about it in CoOp with a friend. Some scenes are similar to Until Dawn in idea but the execution is no where near. The game seems rushed into releasing or shortage of budget was clearly observed.
Let's cut to the chase-
Gamebreaking bug 1- When in CoOp mode after about 4 hrs (70% game was done) either the host or their partner disconnected or straight up freezed and their game crashed. This now happened every 45 min or so.
GameBreaking bug 2- After about another 2 hrs (95% game done) couldn't finish the game as couldn't move forward ie up the stairs where the player is supposed to go to move ahead in the story.
These bugs are related to Controller Compatibility and often happen when you share any item between the players.
Note: These bugs are random at the moment but not worth trying your luck as it took nearly 1 hr if not more to keep relaunching the game again and again and it's real Pain.

PS: We know the developers work hard on every game and we are not trying to shame them or anything disrespectful but since Little Hope is an expensive game published by a game development company these kind of bugs are not acceptable to any gamer who has paid a premium for the game.
The game in all was Good but We will Not Recommend it now. Once a patch file is released by the developers correcting this error others can consider buying this.
Supermassive Games also teased their next Title in The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes was launched within Little Hope just like it was done within the previous title Man of Medan.
