Fantastic Atmosphere bogged down by some technical shortcomings. 0
Little Nightmares excels at building tension rather than going for cheap jump scares. It’s fascinating game that unfortunately is bogged down by some serious technical issues at times.You play as six, a girl whom I assume is going through a personal nightmare in her sleep, as this world she’s in is obviously not real. The game has a fantastic atmosphere that is reminiscent of games like Limbo and Inside, but lacks the polish that those games have. Part of the problem with the lack o...

Little Nightmares Review 0
Little Nightmares is a puzzle/platformer with a strong emphasis on atmosphere. It plays like a LIMBO or INSIDE only with the ability to move in three dimensions rather than strictly side to side. You control a small humanoid creature that has to complete puzzles and avoid giant half-human/half-monsters in order to progress. The puzzles mostly revolve around climbing things like giant, monster-sized furniture, or collecting things to distract the monsters in order to slip by. These scenarios are ...

Little Nightmares has good ideas as well as some clunky ones in a marvelously dark journey through a hungry Hell 0
The trope of "seemingly innocent youth trapped in a world that forces them to make harsh choices to survive" has found it's way into being one of the most prominent narrative threads for smaller or "indie" games over the last ten or so years, give or take, largely stemming from the success of Playdead's Limbo, and then again with Inside. Tarsier Studios absolutely take inspiration from these games and others like it, but with varying degrees of more or less ambiguity. By eschewing the straight 2...

A grim experience 0
LN is mostly 'experience/narratively' driven, by which I mean that the developer focussed more on the emotional and aesthetical aspects of the game. The actual gampeplay – which is solving 'puzzles' and relying on twitch reactions – should not be the main reason to even buy this game. In fact, there are no puzzles, and due to the lack of responsiveness of the avatar, it is also hard to argue that LN is meant as a challenge (like Limbo or Inside). The most intens moments is running to...

Grotesque, grim and yet an eerily familiar puzzle platformer 0
Little Nightmares, developed by Tarsier Studios, suffers from the unfortunate role of being compared to two other well known dark grim platformers. They are so similar that if someone told me that Playdead developed Little Nightmares, I would not have doubted it. I’m sure the comparison does not sit well with Tarsier Studios, it being a Swedish team while Playdead is located in neighboring Denmark and vice-versa. With all that said, Little Nightmares is a beautiful grim puzzle platformer w...
