Niche Gamer
Morbidly beautiful visuals and haunting atmosphere
Co-op does not compromise the singleplayer experience and vice versa
Runs mostly stable 60fps on Switch 2
Fun vehicle sections and clever puzzle and ominous exploration with a directed, picturesque camera
Lots of fun masks and a satisfyingly lengthy adventure
The vague season pass does not work for games like this

Areajugones
The atmosphere she creates is worthy of the best horror games.
The puzzles are very diverse.
The design of the creatures manages to achieve what it wants: to REALLY give goosebumps.
Spectacular scenes
Carefully designed sound down to the smallest detail
Sometimes, it can be a bit confusing to know how to proceed.

Generación Xbox
An artistic and visual style that borders on exceptional.
True co-op, local, online, and with a friend pass
Tarsier Studios demonstrating its true potential
It has voices in Spanish and its sound is terrifying.
The gameplay achieves a perfect balance with new mechanics.
Being able to play on PC or console, with the amazing Xbox Play Anywhere label.
The partner's AI needs more polishing.
There are errors that can make you go back to a previous point.
It's very sad that such a good game is coming to an end.

Pizza Fria
More agile and responsive controls, with a clear evolution compared to the studio's previous work.
Well-integrated cooperation, working equally well with AI as with a second local or online player.
Consistent artistic direction and scene composition enhancing tension and vulnerability.
An effective sound atmosphere, with intelligent use of silence and good dubbing in Brazilian Portuguese.
Progressive introduction of new mechanics, such as vehicles and hand-to-hand combat, expanding the variety of the experience.
The first hour is excessively familiar, with an initial pace that may not immediately catch on.

Stylistically and atmospherically strong horror setting
Varied gameplay with a strong emphasis on action.
Exciting escape sequences and boss battles
High-quality sound ambiance
Relatively few trials and errors
Cooperative mode available locally and online, including crossplay.
Quite short (5-6 hours)
A low rate of puzzles and a high rate of action could displease some people.

Graphically superb, with high-quality staging.
Satisfactory cooperation, easy access
A disturbing, coherent, and immersive world
Always a lot of little secrets and collectibles to uncover
A more flexible action gameplay than in Little Nightmares II...
... while the feeling of fragility and fear slightly diminishes
Glitches, script bugs, and even an annoying risk of softlock
The perspective once again deceiving several times.

L'ambiance, plus sombre et dérangeante que jamais
Un sound design d'une efficacité redoutable, surtout au casque
La direction artistique, magnifique dans sa laideur
Des séquences d'action et de poursuite haletantes
Le passage réussi à la 3D semi-ouverte
L'IA compétente en solo (hors rares exceptions)
Des temps de chargement post-mortem trop longs
Quelques bugs d'IA et de script
Une lisibilité parfois compromise par l'obscurité
Un prix élevé pour une durée de vie courte
