About Little Nightmares

Set in a mysterious world, Little Nightmares follows the journey of Six, a hungry little girl who must escape the Maw, an iron vessel inhabited by monstrous, twisted beings.

The community says

I'll admit I'm biased since horror-platformers aren't my thing, but even judged on its own terms the puzzles feel thin stretched across the whole game.

    frente a Celeste el problema es el mismo que con los puzzles de Portal... exige atmósfera, no precisión, y ahí pierde el duelo casi siempre

    Celia_44

    mi hermana opinó igual, los puzzles se sienten repetidos jugando en pareja

    Still one of the few games that made me genuinely uneasy without a single jumpscare. That's rare.

    RetroSamurai

    Genuinamente inquietante sin sustos baratos, decís, pero eso no tapa que el ritmo se estanque a mitad de juego, no?

    Replying to RetroSamurai

    Puede ser que el ritmo se estanque, tengo la impresión de que a mí no me molestó tanto porque iba más por la atmósfera que por resolver rápido

    Le rythme faiblit, d'accord, mais c'était le cas pour toi dès le premier passage ou seulement en rejouant ?

    para mi entra en el mismo grupo que celeste por la dificultad de plataformas pero le falta esa sensacion de progreso, celeste te hace mejor jugador con cada intento y aca a veces solo repites hasta acertar el patron

    Cosmo_Lopez

    Le souci n'est pas la difficulté mais l'absence de vraie progression du joueur, ce qui pèse lourd dans un duel de classement

  4. Carpentier2010

    Dans les duels contre Portal il perd souvent selon moi, le puzzle design de Valve reste une référence que peu de jeux du genre horreur atteignent vraiment.

    Rae_1990

    Portal's puzzle design is sharper, sure, but I never felt actual dread solving a test chamber like I did in the Maw

  5. PedroHunter

    Bonito de ver, incómodo de jugar a veces, y ya ni sé si eso cuenta como defecto o no.
