    Even though the game is realy beautuful! Great atmosphere, awesome style and pretty good gameplay for its genre... it is realy annoying that it doesn't have a story! I have just finished it and i seriously feel nothing! No sadness, no happiness, nohing at all! It's like the devs didn't even bother to make a story...And as far as i can see everyone can only make theories about what thisEven though the game is realy beautuful!

    The game engine is promising with gorgeous rendering of light and unique aesthetics. The controls and game mechanics are also something that could be used to create a great game! The actual game is garbage. There is no story and the game design is horrible. It's easy to get stuck in every room in the beginning of the game and you probably need to play it with a walkthrough guide.

    This game has very bad controls and response. There's also no guidance at all.

    Not exactly taxing in the puzzles department, and its price-to-runtime ratio is a little out of whack. But gorgeous, memorable and oozing with atmosphere and love. [July 2017, p78]

    Little Nightmares stands head and shoulders above its peers it terms of its true innovation, beautiful, atmospheric design, and a truly terrible tale. For any horror fan, Little Nightmares is the stuff of dreams.

    We've waited a while to see Tarsier strike out on its own and it's gratifying to see it succeed with a game as good as this. [Issue#187, p.70]
