Little Nightmares III Reviews
If you’re hunting for something atmospheric to play this Halloween that won’t eat your entire weekend, Little Nightmares III is absolutely worth your time. It might not keep you up all night, but it’ll definitely make you hesitate before turning off the lights.
Little Nightmares 3 preserves the franchise’s eerie atmosphere and strong visual identity, delivering tense chase sequences and well‑designed cooperative puzzles. However, the lack of local co‑op, unstable matchmaking, and a growing sense of repetition hold the experience back. Its cinematic direction and detailed environments are impressive, though depth perception issues often impact platforming. It’s a solid entry, but one that falls short of bringing meaningful innovation to the series.

Little Nightmares III is tense, terrifying, and full of dread - artfully crafted and packed with standout moments, it’s a journey into darkness worth taking, alone or with your best mate.
While I can’t say it’s bad, Little Nightmares III is not at all what I was looking for, and I am left wanting another proper entry to the series even more after finishing it.

Little Nightmares III is an incredibly immersive and engaging title that faithfully maintains the series' unique horror style, making it feel like a product of the original developers and showing Supermassive Games' competent and careful approach to the source material. However, the game suffers from major flaws, such as a superficial gameplay that makes the experience too easy and short, and an abundance of bugs and technical issues, including glitches and instability in co-op/AI performance.

Little Nightmares III plays smoothly and looks strong, but remains too safe. The atmosphere is good and the collaboration between Low and Alone works, although local co-op is noticeably absent. The world is nicely constructed, but offers little new. Technically everything is fine, although dark parts and small glitches are annoying. A solid sequel that remains true to the series, but never really surprises.

If you are looking for some fun/creepy vibes to cap off Spooky Season, Little Nightmares III is at least serviceable in this regard. If the technical issues have been resolved, so much the better, and it’ll be at least a decently fun shared experience with a friend or sibling or significant other, although even at $40 it’s tough to look you straight in the face and say you’ll feel that your money was well spent.
Familiar chills return in Little Nightmares III, yet lackluster design and missing couch co-op keep it from escaping the shadow of its predecessors.
Little Nightmares 3 manages to follow in the footsteps of an excellent second installment. Thanks to online cooperation, it perhaps does better. It's a real pleasure to explore the Spiral as a duo, relying on each other to solve puzzles, sharing fears, a bond that is formed through fear and curiosity to always learn about this gloomy and cruel world. Of course, we recommend you discover Little Nightmares 3, especially since the gameplay mechanics were designed for cooperation. Rest assured, in solo mode, the game doesn't abandon you since the AI is still intelligent and accompanies you in your exploration, and waits for your instructions without overdoing it either, for a fair balance. We can congratulate Supermassive Games who manages during the second half of the game to leave their mark on this delicious experience.

Little Nightmares 3 is a solid continuation of the series, but it won't thrill many players because everything it offers is slightly worse than the previous installment. It's a good game, but average.

Little Nightmares III is a good game, but not a masterpiece. It preserves the visual brilliance and artistic charm of the series, yet lacks the intensity and emotional depth that made its predecessors memorable. Supermassive Games delivers a solid and dark experience, though a more restrained one, a new nightmare that, while different, is still worth living through.

Little Nightmares 3 takes you through a beautifully crafted world where tension builds steadily as you progress, only to be broken by the frustration of a trial-and-error gameplay approach. Its pacing and design cause the experience to lose momentum at times, which directly impacts the overall journey. With a high entry price, it ultimately feels like a case of great ambition held back — a real shame for longtime fans of the series.

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.
