Little Nightmares Reviews
Little Nightmares is a one of a kind horror game that you need to play.
Little Nightmares is a "child must traverse horrifying and dangerous predicaments" simulator; something 'Inside' and 'Limbo' fans would find familiar.
Giving the story a few rounds of proofreading might have inspired the designers to add more obstacles and offered more flexibility to the players. Still, the well-presented aesthetic and emotional impact make Little Nightmares more than worthy of a playthrough.
Little Nightmares is a fascinating and wondrous little game that manages to tell a story without using words, reach the uncanny with a cartoonish style, and make a platformer into a horror experience. It's fun, imaginative, and at times terrifying. It was well worth every moment spent playing. Its flaws are rare, but make brief sections of the game tedious and frustrating. Overall, Little Nightmares is an extraordinary game.
Little Nightmares has its flaws and iffy moments, but when it's at its best, it creates a tense, nightmarish, action-packed world filled with surreal scenery that contains some classic puzzle design and a host of gleefully creepy characters to chase you all throughout it.
A unique experience with an incredible atmosphere: leaves too many unanswered questions, but the five hours of gameplay flow fast.

Little Nightmares is a great adventure horror game that had me jumping me from start to finish. Although gameplay is not as long, it was the puzzles and challenges combined with the amazing illustrations that made this game worth playing (once you got over the long loading times and the fact that you may die very few minutes).
Creepy, concise and classy
One of the other joys of Little Nightmares is Tarsier did a great job of instilling a sense of dread and foreboding throughout the game without really employing a lot of the standard horror tropes. There’s no real gore in the game and precious few jump scares; instead, there are environments disturbingly covered in what appears to be blood, creatures which have apparently killed themselves, some extremely creepy monsters to avoid, and a brilliant soundscape.
While Little Nightmares has an interesting premise and plenty of promise, the lack of a story, any definable characters and the frustrating save point system are just too much for the interesting aesthetic and standard gameplay to overcome.
Little Nightmares is a thrilling game of horror built around its twisted and fascinating location.
I wasn’t quite expecting to enjoy the relatively small experience that is Little Nightmares as much as I did. It captured the clever puzzles that I loved from Limbo, while also having a great visual style that gives it a good sense of identity
The enemies feel like monsters sculpted out of plasticine from some studio-disowned animated Roald Dahl adaptation.
If you’re looking for an atmospheric, creepy game that will make you feel uncomfortably alone, then I recommend Little Nightmares.
At the end of Little Nightmares, any player will agree on something firm and thats the desire for more content. This means that Little Nightmares is not that Little and in fact, it was totally successful in bringing back childhood nightmares, along with a descent psychological platformer which all along it had its own small problems but nevertheless, Little Nightmares is one the most vital indie games that we've ever had in the current generation

Little Nightmares attempts to tackle the horror aspects of being a young child in a world full of unknown creatures and succeeds with it.
Little Nightmares is like the long, intense screech of a violin before the jump scare - except that the scare never comes and the sound eventually fades to the background. Yes, it's dark and moody, but after establishing the atmosphere it never evolves into something that's really worth playing.
At $20, Little Nightmares is a bit expensive for what you get. However, if you like the idea of feeling like a helpless child in a foreign world, you will be hard pressed to find something better than this.
Little Nightmares feels like a delicious food which leaves a very great taste in your mouth. The only problem of this game is that it’s really short. Little Nightmares is definitely inspired by games like Inside but it has its very own feeling and is one of the best dark platformer games of this generation.

When talking about gameplay, it's impossible not to compare Little Nightmares to Limbo or Inside. Although similar in that, this platform and horror game from Tarsier Studios delivers an unique atmosphere, inhabited by creatures that cause some discomfort (which is something good in this context, by the way). Its polished design, allied to a functional and intelligent gameplay, make the game an excellent choice to any gamer that might want a macabre and unconventional experience.
