    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

    Très bon graphisme bonne ambiance, l'ost et très bonne et le jeu en lui même est très intéressant, mystérieux et angoissant, je vous le conseil!

    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.

    Little Nightmares es un juego muy bueno. Un diseño artístico como pocos en la industria y una jugabilidad más que correcta. La historia también resulta muy intrigante e interesante. Tanto el sonido como la música son sobresalientes. Tiene algunos errores de jugabilidad como caerte en algunas zonas donde no deberías caerte o una duración algo escasa.

    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

    For fans of horror and atmposheric games, I think this is a must-play. The game's aesthetic is excellent, gameplay is simple but effective and the story is interesting.

    The story is really interesting, it makes you wonder, but even though it is short, it gets very boring after a while, you always do the same thing, I loved the music of the game and the finale

    It's a nice game and scary+puzzle excites people and adds great pleasure to the game. If your computer's video card and processor etc. If it's good, I recommend you to play it.

    El arte y la musica son muy buenas, las mecanicas aunque no son muy dificiles tienen su grado de dificultad, el juego me mantuvo sumergido en el desenado saber que iba a pasar despues de principio a fin,

    Like many others, I can't help comparing Little Nightmares to INSIDE, but for me that's not necessarily a good thing.

    Like INSIDE, it's a very pretty, atmospheric 2.5D platformer, where you traverse a mysteriously hostile world as a tiny human. 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 (?).

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!

    Like INISDE, it's a solid 6.    … Expand

    Little nightmares has amazing atmosphere. Very short but concise game. I finished in 4,5 hours, but it worths the money and time. It is horror, platformer game. I have issues with the control and the camera sometimes, but it isnt that bad. The sounds and music are amazing. There is no directly storytelling, but there is in the graphics, enviroment and act.

    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]
