Little Nightmares Reviews
Little nightmares is a very good game. The story of Six is a quick one, but you gather everything you need to know as you move along in the game. Think you can brave your childhood fears? If so pick up Little Nightmares and learn about Six's story.
Tarsier Studios created a truly unique game with Little Nightmares, showing how good horror could be. It creates an atmosphere, unchallenged by most games from the genre, with great artistic-design and creativity. Yet, the gameplay is too flawed to crown it as one of the best, too many bad design decisions and copied mechanics hold it back. Especially due to the short 3-5 hours long story with little to no replay value for a stiff 20 euro price tag make it hard to recommend it for everyone in an instant.
Behind the creepy mood and the awesome graphics, Little Nightmares has very little (pun intended) to say, gameplay-wise. Too simple, with some basic platforming and uninspired stealth sections.

Little Nightmares is a fascinating game. Its style, atmospheres and environments can be quite creepy and it also features some disturbing situations. However, the game doesn't satisfy the player's curiosity, leaving them unfulfilled.

Media Molecule prot'g' Tarsier turns in a masterpiece of meat and malice, swiftly consumed but with a lingering aftertaste.
Little Nightmares' creepiness makes a lasting impression
A unique and very special adventure, with lovely visuals, an incredible atmosphere and an amazing representation of the feeling of being small. It's not as trascendental as it's meant to be, but we would be lying if we say that we didn't enjoy it from beginning to end.

A unique experience with an incredible atmosphere: leaves too many unanswered questions, but the five hours of gameplay flow fast.

If you like these artistically pleasing platform puzzlers, then this is going to be something you'll enjoy. It's not very challenging, and it has a few issues that will frustrate, but this is a fine one-and-done game, and for the price, it's well worth investigating.
If you liked Limbo and Inside, then Little Nightmares is definitely for you. Though its puzzles may not have you stumped for quite as long, its sinister world will consume your attention throughout its five to six-hour duration.
Little Nightmares is frightening, in a way that gets under your skin. A way that whispers in your ear that you won't sleep well tonight. Little Nightmares takes things you were afraid of when you were a kid, and reminds you you're still afraid now.
Tariser has come a long way from the bubbly world of LittleBigPlanet with the dark and disgusting world of Little Nightmares. What it lacks in gamplay substance is made up for in visual and audio design. If that's a trade-off you're worth making, and Little Nightmares is a decent entry into the genre.
It's precisely the kind of horror game I love – grotesque but not gross, and interested in thoughtful pacing and escalation rather than jumpscares and shocks. Also, linear though it is, there are some collectibles I'd like to hunt for and the whole game is short enough that I'll happily play it again, or watch someone else playing.
A largely captivating and bizarre-pretty adventure, whose grand finale, however, disappoints in many ways.

Little Nightmares could use better pacing, perhaps more build-up in the first chapter, but even in its calmer moments it retains your interest with its macabre world and simple yet goosebumps-inducing gameplay. You constantly feel like a crippled gazelle limping around a lion's den. I'm excited to watch others play and panic the way I did.
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.
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.
This game may not receive a lot of attention but it still deserves a chance especially for fans of survival horror and strange ideas. It is indeed one of the games I enjoyed a lot this year.

A twisted fairy tale that dwells in the grotesque and in the macabre, Little Nightmares is a narrative platformer that you will eventually remember for its fascinating atmosphere (and its remarkable graphics and audio design) rather than for its gameplay.
