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.

if you are hoping for couch co-op do not buy this game

this game costs 40 dollars and even then the last two games of this franchise is way better and its super obvious to tell that tarsier did not work on this, and sure some bosses were kindddd offf fun but even then i see 0% of the LN vibes, you basically wait for bosses to leave without having to do anything unlike LN1 when you had to escape the janitor or LN2 when you had to cause an distraction to the doctor and run, but in this game? only good boss was KIN and also the puzzle in this game is super easy in a annoying and stupid way, we payed 40 bucks for this and we dont even get a interesting puzzle? (am really dissapointed in you bandai namco)

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.

Great Game

I thoroughly enjoyed this game. The atmosphere is amazing and I love all the little details that you see through exploring every toom. I really hope there's a LN 4!

Don’t buy it

I bought this game to play with my friend, but is doesn’t support local co-op, that is the biggest failure of the game, I absolutely need refund if it doesn’t change

Good coop bad use of universe (so far)

I don't like that the 3rd game makes the little nightmares universe into nothing more than components of a child's dream versus an actual world. Maybe I don't fully understand the story, but that's how I'm initially interpreting it. I also miss Six. I want more Six even if she is evil. I wanted more universe lore. Instead I felt like the universe was made smaller.. I appreciate the coop functionality and it silky smooth to join up with my girl on her system in another room. Targeting with the bow is dumb. I'm not sure I like the equipment game play components (umbrella was fun). I want the dlc to be like oh yeah wait it actually wasn't a dream and all the game you played so far was real and was just some kind of interdimensional magic stuff. Otherwise I am gonna regret my deluxe pre-order...
