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

    Has potential but it's frustating at times. At times you don't know what to do so you resort to a trial and error approach. Also, it's super short game. Only play it if you have the PS+ Extra subscription

    Very cool game. I really enjoyed the puzzles and the visuals. The Sound was also nice. It was just a bit short. But definitely recommended!

    Me aburrí bastante, algunos puntos de control horribles, no hay físicas, la difuminación es horrible, lugares extremadamente oscuros que ni sabes dónde estás, gameplay muy simple, solo está bien la ambientación e historia

    El juego es por momentos bueno, pero también muy corto por el precio algunos podría considerar que esta bien, pero yo no, tiene buenos momentos, pero le falta implementar más mecánicas, siento que pudieron poner algo más para meternos en la mejor en la historia, algún texto o un personaje que no dijera algo.

    Puzzle game molto bello: stile grafico ispirato, ambientazioni d'atmosfera, begli enigmi.
    Trama e personaggi misteriosi al punto giusto.
    Ottima giocabilità e livello di sfida medio.

    La verdad es que el videojuego cumple con su cometido, que es entretener y mantener al jugador en tensión durante el transcurso de la partida. Sin embargo, hay muchas cosas que son mejorables en varios aspectos, como por ejemplo la jugabilidad. Además, la historia no queda del todo clara (en mi caso apenas la entendí), y todo queda a merced de lo que el usuario haya podido entender.La verdad es que el videojuego cumple con su cometido, que es entretener y mantener al jugador en tensión durante el transcurso de la partida.

    Aunque no todo es negativo. Como dije al principio, el juego mantiene la tensión en todo momento gracias al ambiente que genera con los personajes y cada una de las zonas por las que vamos pasando. Además, el estilo artístico del videojuego también me parece bastante acertado.
    En definitiva, un juego que cumple con su objetivo, pero que un gran margen de mejora.    … Expand

    Great concept but boring gameplay and not really that scary. Plus it is too short for its price tag.

    Dieses Spiel ist ein Meisterwerk. Die fantastisch gelungene Atmosphäre sowie ein Großartiges Level, Rätsel und Gegner Design machen es definitiv zu einem einzigartigen Erlebnis welches man gespielt haben muss.

    This game put together horror and platforming in such an unforgettable way. I found myself very invested in the story to the point that I felt the desire to play not only the DLC, but the the sequal directly after completion. I would recommend heavily.

    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.

    If you want to replay the same part over and over and over again because of dumb mistakes and bad controls, play this game. Controls are so clunky that the left joystick hurts my thumb. It's a shame because I really enjoyed the second entry of little nightmares. This one is just straight up unplayable and frustrating. This goes without mentionning the "no death playtrough".

    Jogo indie incrível, uso inteligente dos cenários, história intrigante, mecânicas divertidas, porém o jogo é extremamente curto, podendo ser zerado entre 2 e 4h.

    This game is defiantly an experience video game. The visuals are excellent and the sequences are intense. The story is cryptic but very good. The puzzles in this game are quite uninspired and boring.

    I was pleasantly surprised by this game, the story (a bit in the shadows) if it catches you from the beginning. The only bad thing, again, is the short durability.

    Amazing little horror game! Do not watch reviews before playing - you'll spoil yourself a wonderful story.

    Gráficos y una historia muy original e interesante, no os dejéis llevar por la primera impresión. Tiene una atmósfera opresiva y la banda sonora es muy acertada. Un juego que no deja indiferente y el DLC es una pasada y aporta más peso a la historia. Para mi un imprescindible!

    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]
