9/10

Little Nightmares 2 is bigger (literally twice as long) and better than the first game. Yet, it keeps that personal, closed-in feel that Little Nightmares established. Pale City is a great new location full of unique characters and creatures. With an excellent blend of horror and puzzles, Little Nightmares 2 is a homerun for Tarsier Studios and Bandai Namco Entertainment.

8.5/10

Not only does Little Nightmares 2 live up to its name, but it also improves on nearly every aspect of the first game. Players may run into a few frustrating hiccups along the way, but exploring this horrific world with Mono and Six is immensely satisfying. At the end of the day, I’d recommend this one to any fan of surreal horror stories with emotional twists, though you might have trouble sleeping when it’s all said and done.

Tarsier Studios’ unique take on horror is immersive and terrifying, and, barring some load time issues and small technical problems, finds a good home on the Switch.

LITTLE NIGHTMARES 2 REVIEW FOR PC, PS5, PS4, XBOX SERIES X|S, AND XBOX ONE. While the first game provided an excellent introduction to The Maw and its grotesque patrons, that was a very focused story that didn’t give much away about the universe outside. Was the rest of the world just as corrupt as The Maw? In Little Nightmares 2, developer Tarsier Studios is able to expand upon a dark universe haunted by terrible creatures, while also further developing the character of Six and her new companion, Mono.

Tarsier Studio’s follow-up to its terrifying breakout horror puzzle-platformer may not be strictly a longer game, but by setting itself beyond the confines of the underwater Maw of the first game, it certainly feels like a bigger game, with even more horrible locales and moments to give you goosebumps.

Little Nightmares 3 is more of the same, but there’s still plenty of heart and some stunning visuals that keeps you wanting to see what comes next.

Little Nightmares is an amazing experience, albeit there are some things that are left to be desired. However, for a first attempt by the studio that gave us Little Big Planet content, as well as Tearaway Unfolded, Little Nightmares is an easily recommended time-killing adventure.

I was incredibly excited to get stuck into Little Nightmares 3. While I was saddened it wasn’t made by the devs of the first two games, Tarsier Studios, I was pleased that it was made by one of my favorite horror studios, Supermassive Games. The fact that, for the first time ever, this franchise was seeing multiplayer felt like a big deal to me. Before playing Little Nightmares 3, I always craved the feeling of a co-op adventure, especially in the second instalment. However, playing this ne...

Little Nightmares 3 features little innovation, few scares, and limited appeal if you’ve already played the previous two games, unless you’re dead keen to experience the series’ signature brand of stop-start stealth with a friend in tow.

Little Nightmares boasts some superb character and environment design, and exceptional sound too, with parts of the Maw screaming as if the ship was a gigantic bionic seafarer. Its story is compellingly told, and the way the main game connects with the DLC is immensely rewarding. But you never really feel like you have full control of Six, and the long breaks between restarts can dump you into a painful loop of spending less time in the game than you do in loading screens. These problems were present in the game’s initial release back in April 2017, and Switch owners can be forgiven for feelin...

The first Little Nightmares is an interesting video game. Originally releasing all the way back in 2017, it was quite a surprise and modest horror hit. The game wasn’t without its issues, be it awkward platforming or weak puzzling. However, that only left room for potential. A world expanding DLC and four years later, players now have a fully fledged sequel in Little Nightmares 2. The only catch is it’s quite a disappointing follow-up. Bummer.
