Little Nightmares III

Little Nightmares III is definitely worth a try, bringing a unique brand of horror and platforming puzzle action to the table in an instalment that builds on the franchise's best features.

Little Nightmares 3 has excellent atmosphere and soundtrack, with a good story, but leaves unanswered questions from its predecessor. However, it lacked creativity in its pursuers and environment, the new mechanics were underutilized, and there is no local co-op or cross-play.

Little Nightmares 3 is a great puzzle platformer that we really enjoyed, especially in co-op mode.

Little Nightmares III is a safe entry into the series that runs into repetition issues, alongside bugs that really hold the game back. The checkpointing system is the biggest offender here, sometimes making me lose 4 or 5 minutes.

Little Nightmares III looks great but lacks bite. Its haunting art direction and eerie atmosphere still impress, but the short runtime, predictable puzzles, and dull AI partner make this sequel feel smaller in every sense. Play it in co-op if you can — alone, it’s only half as fun.

Little Nightmares III is not a bad game, despite many flaws. It is a middle of the road, proper game that provides a few hours of fun. The problem is that this series used to be much more than that. First two games were bold and full of ideas that stuck with you for a long time. I will forget about this nightmare very quickly.

If you’re a fan of Little Nightmares, or similar games in this genre — and, are willing to overlook some pretty loose design — then you’ll find enjoyment in this; a $60 AUD price point also helps. Otherwise, you’re better off steering clear, or engaging with other co-op titles like It Takes Two. If you’re on the fence, a demo is available, though it doesn’t offer progression into the main game proper.

The lack of couch co-op is a massive fumble for this game. My girlfriend and I were really looking forward to playing it together, expecting an experience on par with the previous title. Unfortunately, we were disappointed to find out that local co-op isn’t supported. To make matters worse, even the Friend Pass feature doesn’t support cross-play and since we only have one PS5 and a Switch, that completely locks us out. Aside from that, the gameplay feels clunky and a bit rushed. The short runtime (about 3–4 hours) makes the price feel hard to justify. That said, the art direction remains beautiful and eerily atmospheric. Visually, it’s stunning. But it still feels like the team played it safe, more of the same, rather than something fresh. In the end, it feels like Little Nightmares II: Redux rather than a true evolution of the series.

É um jogo ok, mas que claramente poderia ter sido muito melhor, e ele tinha tudo pra isso. Os jogos anteriores construíram uma lore incrível, cheia de possibilidades, e aqui parece que quase nada disso foi realmente aproveitado. A gameplay e a ambientação continuam ótimas, mantendo o nível dos jogos anteriores e garantindo momentos bem sinistros O grande destaque, sem dúvida, é o final, que consegue ser o ponto mais alto do jogo. Ainda assim, o jogo peca por ser curto demais, o que acaba reforçando essa impressão de que poderia ter entregado muito mais do que realmente entregou.

Upravo završena igra. Manje teška i manje morbidna od prethodnika. Kao da fali malo duše a ima previše recikliranih fora i nešto noviteta. Mislim da serijal treba drastičnu promjenu u mjestu radnje jer sve izgleda isto kroz 3 nastavka. Kontrole znaju biti klempave jer polufiksna kamera uskrati osjećaj za dubinu, kao i prije, ali sam navikao kroz 3 nastavka. Čekpointi i kompanjon su dobri a najbolje stvari igra cuva za završnicu. Uz sve rečeno igra djeluje u isti mah i mlako u ugodno. Slaba emocija kroz labavu priču doprinosi mlakosti. Ipak solidan naslov koji sada manje iritira zahtjevnošću. Dvica ostaje najbolja a Reanimal demo se upravo pokreće. OCJENA: 7/10 Deja vu je najveći problem…

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

It is way to buggy and just feels unlike little nightmares. I just cant find joy in it.
