Little Nightmares Reviews
At times mechanically clumsy, but artistically sound, Little Nightmares might get on your nerves every once in awhile, but its imagery will burrow into your brain and never leave.
Little Nightmares' brief length may leave you craving more, but its haunting story and visuals make it a journey well worth taking.
Little Nightmares is something of a minor classic. Gorgeously gross and surprisingly inventive, it creates a genuine feeling of terror and tension. It's a bit odd to say a game that involves skipping over corpses is enjoyable, but it is, just don't blame Tarsier if you have nightmares.
Tarsier Studios creates a delightfully grotesque puzzle horror experience with Little Nightmares, where a little girl seeks safety from an oddity-filled world.
Despite its straightforward gameplay, Little Nightmares is a title worth putting in the handful of hours that it'll take you to complete, and you'll be surprised by how much ends up sticking with you.
Despite the lack of original ideas and obvious problems with the controls during the chases, Little Nightmares is very atmospheric stealth adventure game with great graphics, interesting main character, a strange world and impressive music. If you like INSIDE and Limbo, then be sure to play Little Nightmares too.

Unlike the nightmare realm out of which Six is desperate to escape, Little Nightmares is a dream of a game that, upon completion, you may wish you could experience anew.
Little Nightmares is one of the most unique and impressive games of this ilk to come along in a while and deserves all the credit in the world for managing to be as devastatingly terrifying as it is. It takes some skill to make a little girl in a yellow mac going for a wander an arguably more harrowing experience than Resident Evil 7, but Tarsier may have achieved just that.
Little Nightmares is the kind of horror game we don't see often enough, one that doesn't shock with fountains of viscera but crawls under the skin. Its flavour of terror is unnerving, burrowing its way deep inside you to nest and feed. Its story is one of hope, innocence and corruption that plays, often sadly, to contemporary fears. Issues with its presentation rob it of the same classic status as Inside, but if you're in the market for a slice of horror rich in artistry and carnal dread, Tarsier Studios have crafted a must-have.
The first multiplatform release from Tarsier is a taut grim fairytale of a puzzle-platformer that's perfect to explore on a rainy afternoon.
Little Nightmares is grotesque, creepy, and unnerving – but it's also beautiful. It's an odd juxtaposition, but one that carries on through the game. For every bit of ominous ambience, there's something to marvel at. It succeeds in its goal of evoking child-like fears, with a lingering, pervasive sense of terror that wrenches your gut.
Merriam-Webster defines maw as "the throat, gullet, or jaws especially of a voracious animal." By the end of it all, Six becomes the voracious animal, devouring anything and everything in her path. Little Nightmares is a vicious cycle where the prey becomes the predator, and an effective one at that.
Tarsier Studios' unique take on horror is immersive and terrifying, and, barring some load time issues and small technical problems, finds a good home on the Switch.
Creepy, surreal and sublime, Little Nightmares will get under your skin, curl up and stay there. Let it in...
Little Nightmares could meet high expectations, if it was longer and more polished. Beside that, every fan of the grotesque in games should check it. There's a big chance that you wouldn't find anything better.

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.
