Not as expected :(

Starting off the game I was under the understanding that 2 people can play it side by side. The co-op experience was NOT fulfilled by me! But still I played it because the first 2 were fun. The story is a good one but that is it!! Disappointed by this game!

It's a mix

Obviously BIG downsides are no couch co-op, needing PS Plus to play online with a friend, and it being $40 for less than 4 hours. But if you DO play in co-op, it's a decent enough time with some fun moments to share with a friend. Wait for a sale, and use it as a bonding experience.

Wow

Man this game is trash compared to the other two. I seen reviews stating this, but I wanted to see for myself. So mad I wasted my money on this. Disappointed.

Visually appealing, lack luster experience.

Do not waste your money. This game felt too easy, and WAY too short to justify $40. LN 1 and 2 were miles better than this. The game feels like its missing a chapter or two on top of everything else. I did enjoy the vibe the game evoked, it felt darker. But the story element was ruining it for me and was too much to ignore. I would pass on this and just replay 1 and 2, lol.

I absolutely loved this game!

Anyone who gave this game a negative review is crazy. In my opinion it’s as good if not better than the first and second one. I loved the story line and the game play had a way bigger feel to it as well as some killer boss fights. I found the puzzles in this one to be the most challenging yet. I also feel this one was definitely darker and gorier than the first 2. Last but certainly not least, as big as this one felt it never once felt like anything other than a classic Little Nightmares game. Very much worth the money spent! Can’t wait for more!!

do not buy!!

super short, terrible gameplay experience, this game is not made buy the same people who made 1 and 2 and its very obvious. so much empty space in this game so many rooms that look like you should be doing something in them, and they are just rooms you walk pass. the people who made the 1st two are coming out with a game soon called reanimal and I wish I waited for that instead of spending money on this. very sad to see want happed to this franchise. if this group makes another one i will not be purchasing it.

This special offer lets you experience the beginning of the adventure at no cost - solo or with a friend in online co-op on the same platform. It also allows you to play the full adventure for free in online co-op if your partner owns a copy of the game on the same platform as yours.

With one unlocked copy, the entire campaign can be completed in online co-op on the same platform.

- The Free Trial & Friend’s Pass also lets you play the full game together online on the same platform: one player owns the full version, while the other just needs to download the Free Trial & Friend’s Pass to join.
