Little Nightmares Reviews
Little Nightmares is a delight to experience for the first time. So long as the obvious negatives aren't a deal-breaker for you then this a definite purchase for any Inside or Tim Burton fans out there.
Little Nightmares might have a striking artistic direction and a dark story to tell, but it's lacking originality by looking too much like PlayDead's INSIDE.
Little Nightmares is a dark, disturbing title that will have you trembling in fear, scratching your head in frustration and it will have you asking many questions regarding its purpose and meaning, and when it’s all said and done, you’re going to want to do it all again as you try to make sense of some of its quite shocking twists.
[T]he thought of playing another second of this awkward, predictable tripe is so unbearable that I stopped and resolved to never continue. That’s not to insinuate that this is the worst game I’ve ever played—merely that magical mix of underwhelming and tedious that isn’t appallingly terrible in the way some games manage to be, but pointless enough to get in the back of your head reminding you of the million other things you’d rather be doing.
Smart, grotesque and weird while interesting. A must play for fans of the genre.
It took me no time at all to realise that Little Nightmares was no ordinary platform-puzzle-horror game. The dank, shadowy world you awaken in, armed with nothing more than a lighter and a strong grip adds a level of tension very few platformers create.
Little Nightmares might leave you with more questions than answers, but the strange, macabre journey should keep you wanting more.
If you fancy another try at a Limbo style game and have a penchant for some weird and nightmarish designs, Little Nightmares is definitely worth a buy.
Psychologically scary as it plays on the fears from your childhood. Visually beautifully, wonderful use of music and sounds, with a clever message lurking within it. Gentle, but sometimes tricky puzzles, though the lack of variety of puzzles means gameplay doesn't remain challenging throughout the game. However, a beautifully crafted game which doesn't rely on thrills and gore to create horror.
Little Nightmares is the finest tidbit of creepiness you’re likely to have this year. It does many things right: it’s dark and unsettling, the gameplay is varied enough to keep players interested, and the style and presentation gives it a character all its own.
If you’re after a tense game that will have you questioning every little moment from start to finish, then Little Nightmares is most definitely for you.
The best thing about Little Nightmares is the disturbing, terrifying aesthetic it masterfully presents and uses to unsettle the player. It never feels like it’s overused, either. You get just the right amount, so that the idea that you’re part of a little girl’s nightmare is maintained until the end.
Short, easy, and not as good as it could be, but also engrossing, beautiful, and fun, this creepy, narrative-driven puzzle-platformer known as Little Nightmares might not be perfect, but it's also one of those titles that could very well be so with a little more care.
An extremely effective horror experience, but an undercooked horror game.
Little Nightmares is an inspiring title with a great story and amazing ending ceremony, beautiful and eye catching graphic with heavy atmosphere make a memorable game which you can forget a bit short gameplay and few flaws.

This is a short game, and at $20, it might be a little expensive for a single evening or weekend, but it's worth checking out. There are a few other games in its small genre pool, but Little Nightmares sets itself apart with its level design and surreal atmosphere. Set aside a block of time, try to go into the game as cold as possible, and be ready for a lot of deaths, some of which are gruesome and many of which won't feel fair. It's a sort of dark fairy tale, to go by my experience, and you'll get about 60 unhappy endings before you get to a slightly better one.
