    Finished in one playthrough, the game is definitely playable and quite visually pleasant (even astounding at times), but nothing else. All the environments are repetitive, and so are the perils encountered. The plot is inconsequential.

    Very good game. If you liked Inside you can`t go wrong with this one. Limbo was more challenging which i prefer. Little Nightmares is a little too easy and short as well. But nonetheless a good game which looks very good.

    Little Nightmares is a super bad version of Limbo. The gameplay mechanics are just so poorly designed.

    There's too much downtime repeating sections, and it's not fun. The contextual clues are badly designed. For example, some enemies sniff around even though they can't smell you. However, they have perfect sight.

    The camera angles and controls also really, really suck in a lot of sections, leading to unnecessary deaths. Sometimes you push doors open by walking into them while running doesn't work. Sometimes you can push open doors by running into them. And sometimes you can push them open by holding the action button. It's never consistent, which makes escape sequences entirely tedious guess-and-check routines.

    The jump + action combination is the worst of all. There's a 50-50 chance whether or not an object is climbable while holding the action button. Try doing that over and over again during an escape sequence.    … Expand

    Great game, quite similar to Limbo and Inside so if you liked them you'll love this one. No objetives, just going ahead and solving puzzles

    PROS: Superb visuals + Atmosphere + Cool and varied puzzles

    CONS: Easy puzzles + No story + It's short but it's worth

    This game is as beautiful as is it short.. I beat it in 4 hours..
    If you buy and play it,in the end i guarantee you'll be disappointed.. you could maybe buy it on discount because otherwise it's not worth it (but that's my opinion of course)

    A horror platformer that provides multiple locations to explore and a variety of monsters that you have to run and hide from. However it is very short, so be certain you want this game before buying.

    That being said, mechanically, this game doesn't work at all, key commands are not responsive enough, which makes this hide and seek mechanic almost unbearable to the point you end up getting frustrated quite often. I got bugged like twice during my play-trough, the AI gets all messed up when you try to make a sound decoy throwing an object, and there is an absurd amount of clipping with some enemies and their interactions.

    Great art, great ambiance, great soundtrack and some good tension moments. But puzzles are so simple that it feels more like a walking simulator than puzzle-platformer. If it had better puzzles, I would put it in the same category where I would put INSIDE and LIMBO.

It climaxes with a bizarre, utterly unique level where the characters break up visually if the player does not discover and pursue the gameplay mechanics. This forces the player to learn the mechanic. Accomplishment is measured in how well you can discover the mechanic. Not an easy game to play. I found it more accessible as a YouTube playthru.

    Little Nightmares is a puzzle platforming horror game where you play as a girl trying to escape the maw…
    And apparently you’re delicious because everyone here is trying to eat you…
    This is probably one of the coolest 2d platforming games I’ve ever played…
    The puzzles aren’t difficult here and the platforming isn’t really difficult either…
    At first you’re for the most part you’re just going forward.
    Going over obstacles, pulling items,
    throwing switches, and figuring out fairly simple environmental puzzles…
    and then you run into your first enemy... and this is where things get scary...
    Little Nightmares is hands down one of my favorite horror games of all time...
    Doing horror better than most first person games...
    You’re hiding in the shadows, sneaking around... under tables and beds praying you don’t get caught by the enemies walking around trying to eat you
    This is horror done right.. trying to find your way through rooms while dealing with a threat…
    trying to get to key items and back without being seen
    the trial and error stealth gameplay is satisfying,
    And the game mixes it up with just platforming or chase sequences, so the pacing is perfect..
    And gameplay feels varied...
    No 2 enemy encounters feel the same
    Though there are a few frustrating moments in the game where I felt I was getting by with luck...
    specifically an annoying table scene that I had to keep climbing on top of and running through over and over because of the games sometimes pretty awful checkpoints…
    and dying will be pretty frequent as this is sort of actually a 2.5 d platformer with layers…
    This sometimes makes it hard to tell if you’re going to jump at an item you’re trying to grab onto and fall behind it or not…
    But thankfully theme moments in my 4 hour journey were rare…
    Little Nightmares is terrifying at times...
    and the level design and character design is varied and memorable..
    Horror Games and Platformer fans alike owe it to themselves to pick this one up.

From the trailers I assumed it would be like a dark Tim Burton film with an engaging story plot and a dark and lurking atmosphere. Well I was at least half right there. Little Nightmares is one of those indie games that shouldn’t be twenty dollars for the experience alone, because that experience is like a short roller coaster ride that ended abruptly and without any true understanding as to why.

    I haven’t read any of the comics or background information about this game, I am giving you a review from my experience jumping in. So of course there is going to be a lot of information that is lost in translation, I won’t need you to tell me where I am right and wrong. But I am sure you will do so anyway. Anyway back on point.

    You play as a nameless character (unless you read the comics or whatever then you find out the character’s name is six, but as I mentioned above) who is of ambiguous gender and wears a bright yellow raincoat. You wake up having a fever dream of an asian lady looking at you. I don’t blame the thing, I’d wake up from a dream that was getting a little too heavy for me to handle as well. Once you come to your senses you seem to be in a prison/ship where everything is dark and murky. This is where I will stop, because this game is an experience worth having.

    The game controls like limbo, and let’s be honest it might as well be limbo. Just with a brighter color tone. You can walk, run, jump, grab things and manipulate the camera. The challenges aren’t too terrible. I instinctively knew what I was doing, so I never really got stuck. The obstacles you’ll face are these grotesque creatures that resembles a Tim Burton nightmare. However considering that this indie game was published by Bandai games I wouldn’t be surprised if it was an exaggerated representation of the American Culture. But I doubt it, I just thought that would be a funny connection. You’ll spend most of your time running away and hiding because you are a tiny being in this world. You’ll find Nomes that will run from you. Once you find them you can give them hugs, but i’ll be honest. Considering you perform one of the best Dr Hannibal Lecture inspirations on one of them over a thick sausage, I wouldn’t become too attached.

    The overall plot is told through visual metaphors, and this game does perform that extremely well. Its is a beautiful game in the most dark way possible. All of this is accompanied by beautiful sound design that does set the tone of the game. However the game isn’t worth $20. Considering you can beat the game in two hours and have to spend extra money to get extended gameplay with DLC, you can see where I became disappointed. But at least I was able to get it out of the way on one of my off days. So that’s a plus.

    Overall, if you’re looking for a game that is dark and doesn’t overuse blood and gore. Accompanied by amazing visuals and sound design and have some money to spend. This game is worth the play through. I do wish it was a longer experience. The ending was… strange to say the least. But It was still a good game.

    Hope this swayed your opinion.    … Expand

    - nice social commentary (if I understood it correctly): the gluttony of the Western society, all those people eating meat and literally shoveling huge chunks of beef with bare hands into their disgusting mouths. When these ugly enemies start chasing your character they are slow and crush furniture in they way - that's hilariious. One of them even shovels your character right into his mouth - gross! (in a good way). The kitchen levels are the real high point of this game. Maybe the designers should have moved them closer to the beginning of the game. And, interstingly enough, there are a lot of toilets in this game. The hint is transparent.
    - excellent music score, sets the tone and actively participates in everything. It's really one of those games where music feels like a narrator and not just as background

    The so-so:
    - most puzzles are very simple and the solutions are usually obvious right after you walk into the room. This is probably good for casual gamers, but if you are a hardcore gamer (like myself), you should just lower your expectations and accept that this is more an "experience"-type application rather than a game. In the second half of it the puzzles do get harder, but mostly because of heavily scripted sequences which you can only solve after you've learned the patterns of enemy behaviors, and for that you will have to die several times.
    - some chases feel too scripted and cinematic. They do have an emotional effect but overall make it feel even less a game
    - overall, the game is completely linear. Thus no replay value. It's also pretty short. I completed it in 3 sessions, 2-3 hours each. I guess one cannot expect longer gameplay from a game which doesn't re-use its graphics too much
    - only 3 types of enemies. They are very memorable though

    The bad:
    - the ending was confusing. The character suddenly turns evil - why? what for? What is achieved by that? I think they just wanted a twist in the end, or a last shocker in the end to justify its horrow theme.
    - there is no story, and whatever one could make of it feels pretty shallow. For comparison, "Inside" had tons of story elements, with many possible interpretations. Here it's just a more or less random walk, a "nightmare" without any logic or meaning. Well, you can say it's just a "nightmare" game, as the title puts it, but still, it doesn't feel right. E.g. one could ask "why doesn't it have twice more, or twice less levels"? It seems that the nighmare ends simply when the required gameplay duration is reached or the allotted development budget is spent.
    - the controls are optimized for console controllers and aren't very comfortable on PC, even if you remap keys. Also, camera sometimes rotates while you move, and the directions of character movement doesn't visually correspond with your key presses - this gets confusing and makes chases harder and more annoying than they should be.

    Overall, it's a great game which almost everyone will like. It's somewhat short and it's a one-off experience, but for a modest price it's certainly worth a look. It's also a great artistic achievement.    … Expand

    A really good game with exceptional level design, great sound effects and some excellent high speed chase sequences which you will have to be on your toes for. The only things that let the game down are it's very short duration (2-4 hours max), puzzles that are a bit simple and slightly clunky controls.

    If you're a fan of creepy stop-motion animation, and/or the kind of scary books nobody dares publish for children anymore, this game is a dream come true.

    I think Little Nightmares is a good horror platformer. Unfortunately, I have to say that I don't like the game very much. First of all, I hate having to watch children being tortured, and secondly, I hate that dark, drippy atmosphere where the owner of a nice living room can't be none other than a man-eater.

    A few people complaining at "the lack of story" compared to the likes of Inside and Limbo. Whilst the story is certainly ambiguous, I felt it was less so than the aforementioned titles. The story was certainly good enough to make me audibly gasp in shock at certain points.

    It is quite a short game, but the DLC pads it out nicely and ups the stakes in terms of scaring the living bejeezus out of me.

    Summary: Two thumbs. Highly recommended - an absolute must-have if if you like Inside and Limbo and don't mind ambiguity in your storytelling.    … Expand

    A beautiful, dark game.

    The game is halfway between a walking simulator, a puzzle game and a platformer. The controls are AWFUL (AWFUL AWFUL), fortunately, the game is not hard, so the narrative and the atmosphere give a very immersive feeling.

    This game has a somewhat open interpretation, however, less cryptic than Inside.

    Cuando era pequeño, como cualquier otro niño inocente, temía a la oscuridad. El miedo a la oscuridad es uno de los más antiguos y comunes, pero lo que realmente tememos es lo que en ella reside, todo tipo de seres sacados de nuestra imaginación. Como decía el escritor estadounidense H.P Lovecraft “La emoción más antigua y más intensa de la humanidad es el miedo y el más antiguo y másCuando era pequeño, como cualquier otro niño inocente, temía a la oscuridad. El miedo a la oscuridad es uno de los más antiguos y comunes, pero lo que realmente tememos es lo que en ella reside, todo tipo de seres sacados de nuestra imaginación. Como decía el escritor estadounidense H.P Lovecraft “La emoción más antigua y más intensa de la humanidad es el miedo y el más antiguo y más intenso de los miedos es el miedo a lo desconocido”. La última obra de Tarsier Studios nos intenta transmitir todos estos miedos que sentíamos cuando éramos pequeños y nos adentra en una pesadilla interactiva.

    Little Nightmares es la última propuesta jugable desarrollada por Tarsier Studios y distribuida por Namco Bandai Games. En Little Nightmares nos pondremos en la piel de Six, una niña la cual despierta en un lugar de pesadilla relleno de seres que van más allá de la realidad. Los controles del juego son simples y tienen un buen funcionamiento la gran parte del tiempo. En ocasiones cuando estemos en una persecución, huyendo para salvarnos de un horroroso final, los controles pueden jugarnos una mala pasada a la hora de deslizarse. Uno de los botones del mando(o una tecla en caso de jugar con teclado) nos activa una funcionalidad que aun siendo inútil otorga una mejora a la ambientación. Esta funcionalidad es la luz que desprende el pequeño mechero que porta nuestra protagonista. La luz tiene la misma utilidad que esa lucecita que usábamos de pequeños a la hora de dormir. Este artilugio no servirá para defendernos de horribles criaturas, pero si para otorgarnos una cierta tranquilidad en momentos tensos.

    Donde realmente reluce Little Nightmares es en su ambientación con la que consigue transmitir terror y malestar al igual que una terrorífica pesadilla. Todas las habitaciones que recorreremos durante la aventura nos recordarán constantemente lo pequeños que somos y lo indefensos que estamos gracias a sus estancias de aberrantes proporciones. Los seres que veremos durante la aventura ayudaran a infundir el terror en nuestros corazones gracias a sus diseños de pesadilla. El sonido también es un aliciente a la hora de generar la atmósfera. La banda sonora no es algo que recalcaría ya que en pocas ocasiones escuchamos música durante la partida. El juego prefiere respaldarse en el sonido ambiente y en ocasiones recurre al completo silencio para aumentar la tensión en el jugador y mantenerlo siempre alerta. Gracias a los recursos sonoros que utiliza consigue transmitir lo que quiere sin necesidad una banda sonora al uso.

    Lo que podríamos reprocharle a Little Nightmares es su escasa duración, yo lo termine en poco más de tres horas y media. Al final el juego te deja con ganas de más , aunque termina en el momento justo sin alargarlo innecesariamente.

    En conclusión, es un gran juego que perfectamente podría optar al mejor juego independiente del año. Si sentís el mínimo interés os lo recomendaría, incluso os diría que es una compra imprescindible. Su precio ronda los 20€, si creéis que es muy caro por la escasa duración que ofrece os recomendaría esperar a alguno oferta. Realmente, el título merece la pena jugarlo y disfrutarlo, a poder ser sabiendo lo mínimo sobre el.    … Expand

Again, the environment and atmosphere tells the story. However, unlike INSIDE, this game executes the setting much better, with an escape theme that's much less bizarre and psychotic.

    Similar to INSIDE, you're thrown right into the game without any indication as to what to do. There are lot of controls in this game, but a few minutes of fiddling around or checking the control settings will set you on the right track. Despite having too many controls, it was actually better for the game instead, as it added realistic physics to the game and made it feel much less one-dimensional.

    In a nutshell, everything more or less feels like an alternate version of INSIDE, except done better and with a different story. It's not super scary, but it does get tense from time to time. The levels that involve actual people can be quite challenging as you have to actually use your head a bit. I personally didn't find the game as short as others claimed it to be; it can easily last six hours or more, which is a decent length for an indie game.

    SECRETS OF THE MAW DLC - 8/10
    The DLC is a must-play since it is canon and ties onto the main story. It is surprisingly lengthy and all three parts were designed incredibly well. They were reasonably more difficult than the main game. To access the DLC, you have to go to Chapter Select and enter the far left room on the bottom row. The devs simply dumped all three parts of the DLC there, which is confusing and can easily be missed.

    The third part in particular had puzzles that weren't straightforward and needed you to think outside of the box. It felt more like an advanced-level "escape the room" with multiple elements and no indication at all as to what you should do. I used a guide since I knew it would've kept me lost for hours, and I wasn't wrong about that. There were things in the puzzles I would have never noticed without using the guide.

    Is the third part good then? That depends on whether or not you're a pro at escape the room games. I honestly think the difficulty could've been toned down a bit, considering the overall gameplay up until now. Some clues to lead you along the right track would've improved it a lot.    … Expand

The world design is gloomy yet charming and the music adds to the experience.

    Like in INSIDE, the journey is at times quite monotonous, with not enough movement mechanics to keep the player engaged physically. Because of the lack of narration and the mysteriousness of everything, it's also difficult to get engaged emotionally, other than "protect this cute little thing from dem ugly big things". The puzzles were decent, but most of the time rather trivial, so intellectual engagement also wasn't really a thing. Because of the overall lack of engagement, I simply didn't care about the game most of the way through, which is a shame, because the concept felt like it had more potential!

    Little Nightmare is a cool puzzle platformer game with great graphics and visuals, but personally I prefer Inside and Limbo...Because their story is darker and more complicated than Little Nightmares'.
    Game itself was exciting and cool but DLCs were boring.
    Also there weren't really hard puzzles and beating game was easy. Generally it's a good puzzle platformer and worth playing and    Little Nightmare is a cool puzzle platformer game with great graphics and visuals, but personally I prefer Inside and Limbo...Because their story is darker and more complicated than Little Nightmares'.

    The art of that game is so nice. Puzzles are sometimes annoying but especially the controls sometimes become so frustrating. I also played all the DLCs. I can say the DLCs are okay. 11hrs on record.

    Game incrível .
    Não sou fã de games de terror, mas este me surpreendeu bastante e quando comecei a jogar não quis mais parar.
    O unico defeito é a campanha curta, em médio deve durar de 3 a 5 horas pra zerar o game.
    Peguei de graça.
    Joguem!!!

    Вау, не ожидал от этой игры настолько хорошего геймплея и визуала. Очень стильные, криповые коридоры, грамотные левелы, графика выглядит отлично даже на тостере, не обычные монстры. Удивило что разрабы умудрились даже напугать казалось бы в игре , где врядли можно напугать по настоящему. 8/10 скоро вторую часть буду тестить.Вау, не ожидал от этой игры настолько хорошего геймплея и визуала.

    The game works in what it has to achieve and displays your character evolving over time with no spoken words.
    A downfall (for me at least) is a lack of plot. You are just dumped into this zone and you leave. Unsure the underlying purpose of the truly artful game.
    Yes I got this game for free on Steam, but to pay full retail I would wonder if I got my money's worth with just 4 hours of gameplay. I definitely recommend when a sale appears to try this thriller.    … Expand

    ITALIAN: breve recensione
    Gioco che fa dello stile grafico l'aspetto principale, capace di creare un'atmosfera inquietante e assurda, proprio come in un incubo. A potenziare questo aspetto ci sono anche un protagonista indefinito, l'assenza di storia e contesto e ambientazioni sproporzionate in dimensione.
    Dietro questa grande cura estetica si nasconde però anche un gioco interessante.    ITALIAN: breve recensione

    Dietro questa grande cura estetica si nasconde però anche un gioco interessante. Si tratta infatti di un puzzle game principalmente a scorrimento orizzontale, che però ci vedrà inseriti in un ambiente tridimensionale (un po' come in Inside, ma qui è ancora più marcato questo aspetto).
    Inoltre bisogna dire che, per quanto sia breve e giocabile da chiunque, non è semplice come ci si potrebbe aspettare, alcune parti richiedono diverti tentativi per essere superate (a cui bisogna aggiungere anche un senso di ansia dovuto ai nemici).

    Per concludere, è un gioco davvero breve (dura circa 6 ore, forse anche meno) ma è molto curato e la sua moderata difficoltà lo rende soddisfacente.

    Это очень жутко. Игру я получил с недавней раздачи и решил пройти ну многие говорят что игра проходится за 4 часа но если ты не спидранер и не смотрел геймплей то на прохождение уйдёт часов 6-7 у меня ушло 6 часов и то сложные моменты я смотрел на ютубе. Короче это шедевр тем более щас скидка и так мало денег стоит грех не купить.Это очень жутко.

    This is odd because the game is rather linear but I beat it like 4 times. Its that good. When playing you feel like you are taken to another dimension. Audio, graphics, design - jesus, everythings top quality. I can't wait to play the sequel.

    Do you like Limbo and Inside? If so, Little Nightmares will be right up your alley. The game is less original and expressive as Playdead's titles though.

    Music and sounds of the Maw make an already atmospheric game even better. The cry of surprise and righteous indignation that Chef Twins let out once they find Six prowling around their kitchen will surely come to haunt you in your dreams. [Issue#221, p.93]

    Little Nightmares is truly poor by the gameplay, but it's a very intense breathtaking one-timer, what warm-up your black soul especially thanks to the brilliant design of ship interior full of horrors. [Issue#275]
