Little Nightmares 3 Reviews Praise Atmosphere, Raise Flags on Pacing and Co-Op

Supermassive’s debut with the series keeps the aesthetic intact.

Overview

  • Early reviews ahead of the October 10 launch commend the striking art direction, sound design and environmental storytelling across varied locations.
  • Critics describe a sluggish, repetitive first half with fiddly platforming, perspective issues, insta-death chases and checkpoint frustrations, though later chapters draw stronger praise.
  • The new duo, Low and Alone, add distinct tools—a bow and a wrench—but puzzles are often labeled perfunctory and rarely require meaningful collaboration.
  • Co-op is positioned as a marquee feature with an AI option in solo play, yet reviewers say teamwork is underused, and reports conflict on whether local couch co-op is supported.
  • Several outlets note a short 4–5 hour runtime and a $39.99 price, with a public demo offering a brief taste ahead of release.
