Little Master 2 on Game Boy feels like digging up a time capsule—in the best way. The pixel art pops with just enough detail to make the world feel alive, and those crunchy battle sounds? Pure nostalgia. You start off in this little village, picking your first monster (I went with the fire lizard, no regrets), and within minutes you're already getting into scraps with wild creatures in tall grass.

It’s got that classic monster-taming vibe but with way smoother controls than the first game. The puzzles actually make you stop and think sometimes—I got stuck in some cave for way too long before realizing I had to push a boulder onto a switch. And the battles? They’re quick but surprisingly deep once you start mixing abilities.

If you played the original, the upgrades here actually matter—better sprites, smoother movement, and way fewer random encounters (thankfully). But even if you’re new, it’s one of those Game Boy gems that just gets its hooks in you fast. Just don’t blame me when you lose track of time grinding your team in the late-game forests.
