    Six is back, and this time the nightmare feels bigger and more personal than ever. The VR experience is highly immersive, pulling you into its twisted world. It’s scary, haunting, and adventurous, though during intense moments the controls can feel slightly clunky and break immersion.

    By and large, Little Nightmares VR: Altered Echoes succeeds in adapting the series for headsets, though it’s disheartening that it repeats mistakes from past titles. But, if you already like Little Nightmares, you’ll absolutely enjoy the two hours you spend with this.

    Little Nightmares VR: Altered Echoes successfully adapts its unsettling world and atmosphere to VR. A must-play experience (though perhaps a bit too short) for fans of the series.

    Little Nightmares VR: Altered Echoes does a great job bringing the 2.5D “dollhouse” perspective of the series to a fully fleshed out VR world, complete with grotesque enemies, simple puzzles, a mysterious narrative, great graphics, and fun VR mechanics. While the campaign is short, even by Little Nightmare’s standards, it is worth experiencing, and features some of the most surreal and exciting set pieces yet for the series during its final chapter.

    Despite a few shortcomings, Little Nightmares VR: Altered Echoes is an engrossing journey. Fans and newcomers to the franchise can enjoy the gifts this game offers. Feeling small and powerless is an experience that makes one appreciate life in the adult world. It also gives a new appreciation of how children feel about the world. This game’s VR heightens all these feelings found in the Little Nightmares universe. If you like games of suspense and mystery with a tinge of scary, check this one out.

    Being fully immersed in a Little Nightmares space works great. The atmosphere does that heavy lifting, and some of the freakier drawn-out moments really stuck with me. It just feels like it stops short of doing something more with the idea.
