REANIMAL
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.
REANIMAL feels like a natural extension to the Little Nightmares franchise. It boasts stunning visuals, strong atmosphere and several genuinely memorable moments. However, uneven pacing, a dull first chapter, clunky controls, technical issues and poor PS5 performance hold it back from true greatness. It's a good horror adventure overall, but one that's more likely to be remembered for its frustrations than its brilliance.
Reanimal easily surpasses Little Nightmares 3. Although the recently released game was perfectly fine, it was the Swedish developers who took a step forward, which proved necessary to keep the idea fresh and simply not boring.

Fun game with a very well made creepy atmosphere. But 40 euros for 4 hours of gameplay is simply not acceptable.

Toujours cette esthétique magnifique des réalisateurs de Little Nightmare, très sympa en coop + j'adore l'univers et l'histoire qui font froid dans le dos. Un plaisir ! Juste dommage pour l'ajout de chapitre payant qui devrait être dans l'histoire de base au vu de la durée du jeu et de son prix mais il vaut quand même le coup.

Okay this is more interesting than Little Nightmares 3. I love the concept of the game where the world looks like LN but animals. Gameplay is better than the previous LN games, and the interesting world is how I got hooked, especially the cosmic horror elements that makes me feels weird while looking at the enemies. The you can fight too, but only its own size and not giants. I love this game, and you might like it too. Very recommended!

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.

Amazing experience. It pulls you into a dark, exciting world that is oppressive enough to keep you wondering what might be lurking in the shadows and intriguing enough to keep you champing at the bit for insight into how it became the way it is.

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.

Reanimal is a game that immediately grabs your attention with its unsettling atmosphere and striking visual identity. From the very first moments, it becomes clear that the developers understand horror as an art form. The grotesque creature designs, oppressive environments, and constant feeling of unease create an experience that is often genuinely disturbing and **** game's greatest strength is undoubtedly its art direction. Every location feels carefully crafted to evoke discomfort, blending childhood fears with nightmarish imagery in a way that will feel familiar to fans of titles like Little Nightmares, Inside, and Limbo. The world is fascinating to explore, filled with details that encourage curiosity even when common sense tells you to turn back.Atmosphere carries much of the experience. Reanimal excels at building tension through environmental storytelling, clever lighting, and sound design that constantly keeps players on edge. Some sequences are genuinely suspenseful, delivering the kind of anxiety and anticipation that great horror games strive **** cooperative mode is another highlight. Sharing the journey with another player adds a unique dynamic to exploration and puzzle-solving, creating memorable moments that are often more enjoyable than tackling the horrors alone. The game understands how to use cooperation as part of the experience rather than treating it as a simple add-on feature.However, while Reanimal succeeds in creating a compelling atmosphere, its gameplay struggles to reach the same level. Many of its mechanics feel familiar, borrowing heavily from ideas that have already been explored extensively within the genre. As a result, there are moments when the experience feels predictable, lacking the sense of innovation that could have elevated it into something truly **** pacing also proves somewhat inconsistent. Certain sections maintain excellent tension and momentum, while others drag longer than necessary, causing the experience to lose some of its impact. These fluctuations make the overall journey feel less focused than it could have been.That said, even when the gameplay falls short of its ambitions, the game's visual creativity and commitment to horror remain impressive. There is clear talent behind the project, and many individual moments demonstrate the potential for something truly special.Ultimately, Reanimal is a good horror game that succeeds more through atmosphere and presentation than through innovation. It offers plenty of memorable scares, a wonderfully disturbing world, and an enjoyable cooperative experience. While it doesn't fully realize the potential suggested by its incredible artistic vision, it remains a worthwhile adventure for fans of dark, atmospheric horror.A visually impressive and genuinely creepy experience that occasionally feels trapped by the conventions of the genre it clearly loves.7/10
