    Interesting but overpriced game. I really enjoyed it, and the DLCs are pretty worth it too.

    A game clearly taking heavy inspiration from Playdead's Limbo and Inside, and while Little Nightmares manages to add its own flair, it doesnt quite match those games in my opinion.

    The 2.5D approach here is interesting, but it becomes a nuisance in critical parts of the game where it's challenging to percept depth while you're platforming. The game also tries to emulate Playdead's trial and error gameplay approach by making you die quite often, but here it somehow doesnt feel as fair.

    The game world is intriguing however, it's filled with dread and atmosphere, and it keeps you thinking about what is going on it. Some later parts of the game are genuinely nail biting.

    An overall decent game, but doesnt quite grab me as the games it's trying to live up to.    … Expand

    It's fun game with good puzzles and sometimes scary too but it's too short you can beat it in 2 hours in your first playthrough,
    If you like horror games it's for you.

    Sympatyczna gra, w której mierzymy się z naszymi małymi lękami. Charakterystycznym dla mnie elementem, z którym najbardziej kojarzę tę produkcję jest muzyka. Klimatycznie gra trzyma wysoki poziom co pozwala z łatwością wczuć się w grę. Styl graficzny przyjemny dla oka, a zagadki jakie oferują nam twórcy są interesujące.

    I changed my mind about it.

    Well, let's just say my first playthrough of this game was not good. However, for some reason, I decided to give the second game a chance, and then... yes! I absolutely loved it. Since I was left with that famous taste of "I want something more," I returned to the first one. So, did it get better after all?

Since I was left with that famous taste of "I want something more," I returned to the first one. So, did it get better after all?

    The story was the easiest one to get involved in because I was really into the plot of the second game. The six's perspective became so interesting after seeing what happened before all of that. The villains were not all memorable - and to be honest, they were kind of dumb since the AI is not that good. Speaking about the gameplay, it is strange. It's not that responsive, and the uneven composition just made everything worse. Yeah, it makes sense cinematically, but it's a pain in the a**.

    Just like the second game, there's an amazing atmosphere around you. It's not that deep, but it's enough for most people. That game made me value the sequel even more because I could see clearly where they got much better. Anyway, I hope there's a third game.    … Expand

A lot of traps await and a lot of things are out to get you, and you have to sneak past them all on the way to freedom (?). 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 Nightmares is one of my favorite games. It reminds me of Limbo but LN have more thrilling events, where you have to run for your life and try not to end in bubbling pot. Limbo is more puzzle-ish game. Here are also puzzles (especially in DLC) but less. Furthermore it has great, creepy and unforgettable soundtrack, cool graphics and overall perfect atmosphere.

    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.

    This game is scarier than you might think. With its 2.5 D environments it takes you on a very nice short trip through a cold and unforgiving world. The clay style art is also really unique and adds to the whole feel of the game. It gives off some Tim Burton vibes. The twist at the end is really well done. Looking forward to playing the sequel

Most of the game involves finding a lever to pull, or finding a key and putting it in a lock, or sneaking around a giant monster behind their backs as they turn around. Sometimes you have to figure out interesting ways to climb to the top of the ceiling by trial and error. Gameplay wise, it’s really fun and it’s a little scary. For example, I was sweating bullets as I snuck around a giant scary looking chef chopping meat up. I didn’t know what to do in the level so I panicked and tried everything to figure out how to get out of the room. I was super relieved to figure out the solution on my own after dying a couple times from the ugly chef. Hint: Sometimes I overthink it so the solution is usually the easiest one!

    In the beginning of the game, there are no tutorials. Only if you get stuck for a while, the game hint pop up reminds you of a button you should press you’ll need to get around the level. I used an XBOX one controller and it worked great. I highly recommend using an XBOX controller for this game. There were no bugs I came across and it was smooth throughout. Being on ultra settings on my PC, graphics were super detailed and gave a perfectly spooky vibe throughout. Very dark rooms and disgusting looking textures everywhere.

    It is a really, really short game but a good one as it can easily be beaten in around 3-4 hours. I wish it was longer!

    Story-wise, I don’t fully understand it but it gets dark very, very quickly. Avoiding spoilers, I was shocked at some of the things the main character did. I was shocked at some of the disgusting things that happened in this game. It is mildly depressing and it truly is a scary nightmare. But in the perspective of your main character, a young female child. The game does not have a narrator or text to tell the player what is going on in the story. It is all done through the gameplay and silent cutscenes. In fact, not a single word is spoken in this game. You’d have to come up with your own interpretation or look up online to find out what the story is about.

    There is some replicability in the game, there’s unlockables and lots of hidden items that will unlock concept art in the main menu. If you go out of the way, you might spot details you didn’t see before and find new areas with a hidden item.

    Overall, this game is totally worth playing. A shorty but a goody as it can easily be beaten in one day. I just wish it was a little longer! The developers also made a bunch of DLC, a mobile game, and another game called Little Nightmares 2. I look forward to playing them soomeday to find out more about this very interestingly dark story.

There are some calm moments when you're just walking quietly and admiring the environment and there are some tense moments when you're running from the disgusting creatures of that world. It's really one of the most atmospheric games in the world. It's short though.

    I like the ability to traverse and use your environment with the ever looming fear it offers. The variety of gameplay is also interesting as it delivers puzzle solving, stealth and escapes from danger. Surprisingly there are also boss battle moments also.
    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

    Really nice graphics and style with also a good and inmersive soundtrack.

    A bit short maybe, just 2-3 hours.

    Worst thing is about its controls and camera.
    The fixed 3rd person camera + the clunky controls make almost imposible to target anything in the game. Specially affecting jumps and persecutions.
    That makes all the game difficulty relays on its poor controls and camera.

    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

    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.

    Really cool game, the monster and level designs are really good. I dislike that there really isn't a story and nothing about the world is explained. The gameplay is clunky at parts but it didn't bother me much.

    Little Nightmare I - '' Strange horror puzzle game? ''

    My first impression of the game is really awesome and adventurous. Not much to talk about in this game is a really detailed and great puzzle game. I really liked the whole atmosphere just so everything looks so great and interesting purely the theme of that game. The theme of the game is really great as if it all started from start to finish as you seem to have walked straight and no loading screen. The story itself is not so very understandable no one explains to you here you have to shake your head and ponder for yourself what the whole story of what is going on here is about here. The puzzles themselves are not difficult they are quite easy and complex so 50/50. You just need to think more, because you can get stuck in some places as well. Now speaking of the horror itself I don’t know much I would say it was scary and a big horror here. So to me, that’s a minus. Well, the atmosphere and details are really scary. But the bottom line is that most places could have been more dark and more jumpscare. Which will scare you more because the character had one of the lighters which is used very little only in certain places where necessary. The game itself is definitely worth a look because the game itself goes so smoothly and in detail.

    So in my opinion, I really enjoyed the game and deserved a lot of attention and fame. It was fun to play and find out what was lurking here, but the bottom line was that the game as horror really wasn’t that much to make me very horrified. I would dedicate myself to this game 8/10.    … Expand

    The game doesn't include any jump scares and focuses more at the atmosphere than the horror elements.
    Everything fits perfect, the atmosphere, the soundtrack, the graphics, the performance (runs on my GTX 760 with Ultra settings 60FPS+) and the story telling. Sadly , the game receives to little recognition.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Gioco carino, ambientazione affascinante e ben resa (ricorda una versione dark de "la città incantata" di miyazaki) . Gameplay piuttosto scarno e forse alla lunga ripetitivo, ma complessivamente il gioco non annoia, data anche la contenuta longevità.
    Scene memorabili:

    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.

    Finished the game in around four hours. While the visual style was good (especially the enemy characters), the game was very easy and way too short. I also did not find it scary enough to tag it as horror. Only buy at a steep discount.

    Great game that combines platforming with stealht and puzzle solving. It slowly creates a horrific world, and it becomes a psycological experience to the likes of Limbo or Inside. The only con is that it is too short (3-4h aprox.).

Короче это шедевр тем более щас скидка и так мало денег стоит грех не купить.Это очень жутко.

    Little Nightmares es un juego indie maravilloso. No se nos explica nada a nivel narrativo, pero la ambientación soberbia que tiene nos lo deja todo claro desde el primer momento.

    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.
