Little Nightmares III Reviews
You may notice here and there that this game is made by a different team, especially when it comes to the art-style and the overall atmosphere of the game. But it still respected the first two games, while providing a fantastic co-op experience

Little Nightmares 3 expands the series' universe with new gameplay ideas, while still maintaining its essence. It's the most complete experience yet, thanks to a co-op mode that's both necessary and fun.

A third chapter that could have seized the opportunity of the change in direction for a brave, new course, but instead settles for a sufficient rehash of its predecessors.

Little Nightmares 3 is a nightmare worth experiencing. Supermassive Games has fully embraced the artistic language of the franchise, confirming its aesthetics and basic mechanics but offering a package that, although well-crafted, lacks great ambition and originality. The new co-op mode adds an interesting but not revolutionary dimension, while the cryptic narrative and art direction maintain the original charm without breaking with the historical formula of the saga or surprising us with new perspectives. The atmosphere remains strongly tied to the fairy-tale and frightening imagery, but it fascinates with a fear that transforms and is less intense when shared with another character and with a structure of puzzles and environmental riddles that tends to favor collaboration over individual tension. Little Nightmares 3 is disturbing enough to make you shiver, but overall, although it is a good game, it fails to match the quality of its two predecessors. This is a real shame because, in our opinion, if they had dared to be more daring, it would have been a completely different story!

Little Nightmares III still looks incredible, but clunky controls, an awkward camera, and a watered-down sense of dread stop it from fully reaching its potential. Co-op brings a fun new twist to this entry, but some of the fear and magic that made the series special seems to have slipped through the cracks.
Little Nightmares 3 is an installment that deeply respects the legacy of the series, but doesn't dare to take the leap towards something truly new.

Little Nightmares has never felt this small. I really can’t shake the feeling that I would have scored this much higher and had fewer complaints, if I didn’t play the first Little Nightmares before it. But it’s human nature to judge based on previous experiences, so that’s inevitably what everyone will do here. Fans have every right to be upset that this didn’t meet expectations.
Little Nightmares 3 has excellent atmosphere and soundtrack, with a good story, but leaves unanswered questions from its predecessor. However, it lacked creativity in its pursuers and environment, the new mechanics were underutilized, and there is no local co-op or cross-play.

For fans of the series, Little Nightmares 3 is still an experience worth your time – grotesque, eerie, and at times beautiful. But let’s be honest: not every nightmare is unforgettable; this one feels more like a dream that doesn’t scare you, just startles you, before you drift back to sleep with relief.

Overall, Little Nightmares III is a worthy continuation of the series known for its chilling atmosphere and inventive storytelling. The game shines with its cinematic visuals, haunting sound design, and the fresh dynamic that online co-op brings, making the Spiral feel alive. The attention to detail in the character and creature models, combined with the eerie environments and inventive puzzles, reinforces the series’ signature mix of innocence and terror.
Little Nightmares III nails its eerie atmosphere and unsettling charm, even if the experience occasionally stumbles over its own mechanics.
Little Nightmares III is a solid spiritual successor to the original horror series, guiding players through new, intriguing locations filled with terror and dread.

Despite some familiar beats, Little Nightmares III remains a hauntingly beautiful continuation of the creepy puzzle-platforming series. Its eerily atmospheric world design, horrifying villains, and unsettling sense of scale all come together to create an experience that’s as memorable as it is unnerving, whilst the addition of co-op gives it a fresh edge that turns the shared fear into something that adds to the fun. It might not reinvent the formula and it does feel like it missed some opportunities to build upon the core gameplay loop, but Little Nightmares III proves that there’s still plenty of menacing magic left in this twisted world.
We eagerly awaited Little Nightmares III, but it didn't live up to the hype

It is a good game, but despite genuinely enjoying some aspects, I was left wanting more.
Little Nightmares 3 is a sequel lacking in innovation, which does its part to maintain the saga's soul, but it feels less handcrafted and more "big studio." It's visually dazzling, and the co-op gameplay adds freshness, although the somewhat imprecise controls and uneven pacing detract from its charm. Still, it's a beautiful nightmare worth experiencing, although this time the scares come more in focus than in shadow.

Little Nightmares III is a bit of a mixed bag. One thing is certain, Supermassive Games managed to keep Tarsier's legacy going by creating a sequel worthy of the name. Then again, Supermassive might have played it a bit too safe, resulting in a game that never really wows and occasionally feels like a step back. Little Nightmares III might be right up your alley if you're craving a Little Nightmares experience with online co-op gameplay, but if you're looking for a sequal that finally deals with the nightmarish controls from previous instalments... dream on.

Little Nightmares III is an atmospheric title that continues the series' typical twisted horror with a too-unsurprising approach. The two-player element doesn't add enough to the package, and many of the levels don't offer enough to explore to make the adventure rewarding. The level set at a carnival comes closest to the atmosphere of the original series, but many other sections lag behind. The Little Nightmares Enhanced Edition, released at the same time, is definitely the best way to immerse yourself in the Tarsier universe; the sequels haven't achieved the same excellence.
