REANIMAL

Reanimal once again showcases Tarsier Studios' ability to unsettle players with bleak environments and grotesque creatures, while delivering a game you won't want to put down despite how disturbing it can be. It also offers an experience that may linger with you long after the credits roll.

Reanimal may come from the same flock as Little Nightmares, but in many ways it’s a different beast. The simple puzzle platforming won’t ask too much from you and your co-op partner, but it doesn’t need to when there’s such a strong focus on tone. Confronting themes and well-implemented spooky visuals help to create a mesmerising and horrific world that you’ll be equal parts happy to see the back of and devastated to leave behind.

Reanimal is a well-executed blend of a terrifying, grim atmosphere and a fresh twist on gameplay: co-op and 3D environments. The game masterfully handles exploration, puzzle-solving, and preying upon our deepest fears. Complementing this is a cooperative mode that fits the formula perfectly. It doesn't aim to break the mold, but stands as a worthy successor to the original Little Nightmares.

One of the most darkly beautiful games you’ll ever play – albeit in a very similar way to the Little Nightmares franchise games – Reanimal is a short but deeply immersive, edge-of-the-seat experience, at once touching and terrifying. Its world is hauntingly macabre, its stealth sections truly tense, its chases thrilling and its puzzles simple yet strangely rewarding. It (unobtrusively) holds your hand a fair bit, but you’ll be grateful for a hand to hold as it takes you deep into the more disturbing corners of 20th Century history, promising more dark DLC revelations to this story to come.

Reanimal is a very cinematic experience, in which platform and co-op mechanics are simply an addition. The plot takes centre stage here, and the themes and experiences suggested by the authors are probably more mature and serious than those in Little Nightmares. Reanimal is definitely a ‘big nightmare’ and the most bizarre, atmospheric game you will be able to play this year.

There’s nothing groundbreaking about Reanimal, but what it does, it does very well. There are still some nagging frustrations in Tarsier’s design that have again reared their heads, but don’t let them interfere with your enjoyment of this moody world.

A beautiful and atmospheric walking sim that lacks meat on its bones.

Jogo é belíssimo, mecânica simples e intuitiva, narrativa, personagens e monstros são incríveis. Não encontrei nenhum bug ou má otimização, rodou perfeitamente.

This game is alright horror aspects and story is really good the major issue is how short the game is 5/6 hours is not enough game even for 40$ needs more gameplay

Хорошая игра, но никаких ярких фишек совместного геймплея вообще нет, тот же Little Nightmare, только вдвоем. Достаточно скучно.

When you launch a game make sure its actually working!! The server keeps getting disconnected horrible experience

I played it on PlayStation 5, and my first major disappointment is that the game doesn’t use the DualSense’s advanced haptic feedback features at all, even though the game offers countless possibilities for it. They didn’t even try! My second disappointment is the audio. It’s very weak and lacks detail, which unfortunately hurts the immersion quite a bit. The third disappointment is the gameplay, which doesn’t offer anything special. On top of that, the fact that the camera stays very far away from the characters most of the time takes away a lot of the immersion and overall impact of the game. The fourth disappointment is the soundtrack. It’s not bad, but there’s nothing particularly memorable or special about it. The fifth disappointment and perhaps the most serious one is the pacing. Even though the game is short, I found it very tiring. The biggest positive aspect of the game is the graphics, but that alone didn’t help it much. I honestly prefer Little Nightmares by far.
