Little Nightmares stands head and shoulders above its peers it terms of its true innovation, beautiful, atmospheric design, and a truly terrible tale. For any horror fan, Little Nightmares is the stuff of dreams.

Creepy and beautiful at the same time, Little Nightmares is a great adventure in a strange world. An atmospheric puzzle-platform with stealth and horror elements which is a great addition in a sub-genre dominated by Playdead's Limbo and Inside.

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.

This game offers a unique experience. Play as Six and escape while you have to puzzle and defeat enemies. Defeat them by using your head, all you need to do is run, climb and puzzle.

Little Nightmares is an entrancing yet brief journey that even those averse to the horror game genre can enjoy. Its implementation of horror hits deeper and lasts longer than other games in the genre while still making it both enjoyable and accessible.

Some of the most tense-filled experiences I’ve endured in quite some time.

If we had a Playdead award for obscure platforming excellence then Little Nightmares would have been the unquestionable winner. Especially the last two chapters are a testament of perfect fusion between gameplay, world building, symbolisms and overall aesthetics. It’s truly a masterpiece albeit a disappointingly short one.

Little Nightmares is a perfect balanced experience with around five hours of gameplay. It has some flaws, but the atmosphere and the unique setting makes up for that. If you are in need for something short and interesting, you should give this one a try.

Like Hide and Seek, Little Nightmares confidently captures the exhilarating fear of waiting to be found by something that’s hunting you. But it also replicates the alien horror of being a child that doesn’t understand what’s happening to and around them, and of a seemingly familiar environment turned into a series of opportunities for safety and danger. Smart, grotesque and never-endingly weird, this is a very different, extremely welcome kind of horror game that left me wanting more than its brief five hours provides.

Little Nightmares is an awesome platforming videogame with an horrifying background and an outstanding atmosphere. A great experience with an interesting Tim Burton's aftertaste.
