    Little Nightmares was a proper game. Short but proper. But damn, the credits lasted for 30 minutes, they even listed the Janitor.

    It's an excellent puzzle/platform/adventure game, that doesn't stop being interesting, while it keeps difficulty very balanced.

    Great game. I finished it in less than 6 hours, and I’m a slow player. Really get you in the mode with the cinematic vision and soundtrack. Totally recommended

    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 wonderful game. Throughout the game, uncertainty, danger and hostility remain. There is no fear, there are terrible moments and disgusting. This emphasizes the personality of the game. There are no "screamers", this is great. The game is logical, the world of utopia. The ending is wonderful))

    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

    Really good. I don't like horror games but it was short enough to keep me playing. It is darker than trailers and promo illustrations

    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.

    One of the best Games I've ever played! It is a masterpiece! Especially on PC in 4K it really shines! And it has an absolute superb DLC called "Secrets of the Maw"! A must have for every videogame lover!

    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.

    This is one of the best games I've ever played! The atmosphere is one of a kind. No typical jump-scares. 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.

    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

    MUITO BOM, se começar a jogar é impossível parar, a historia traz uma curiosidade por respostas as suas perguntas sob a historia, é preciso prestar bastante atenção e criar suas teorias s, o que na minha opinião é incrível, o jogo msm com pequena variedade de movimentação traz diferentes mecânicas, a historia é totalmente imprevisível e acima de tudo é divertido.

    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.

    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]
