    У этой игры очень хорошая графика и музыкальное сопровождение также не ожидал такого от концовки есть моменты где прям точно надо где то проскальзывать в какие то щели и у меня много раз не получалось меня это и бесило. Это игра будет по лучше Inside и Limbo.У этой игры очень хорошая графика и музыкальное сопровождение также не ожидал такого от концовки есть моменты где прям точно надо где то проскальзывать в какие то щели и у меня много раз не получалось меня это и бесило.

    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.

    A mesmerizing experience. Both creepy and cute, very atmospheric. The only disadvantage is its poorly made saving/loading points. A unique game recommended to anyone.

    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.

    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

    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 little artistic horror video game that will surprise you. It's pacing and balancing are great, it's not as memorable as inside or as as good either. But Little nightmares is a very fun little experience.

    虽然流程很短但是各种的场景美术设计都很棒，全程诡异的气氛是最大的特点，解密和跑酷的难度都一般，就是地图利用率不高，没有让人走二周目的想法，在玩法上可能略逊但是游戏体验很好

    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.

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. An easy 9/10.    … Expand

    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.

    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

    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.
