Little Nightmares could use better pacing, perhaps more build-up in the first chapter, but even in its calmer moments it retains your interest with its macabre world and simple yet goosebumps-inducing gameplay. Not once did it actually crash, nor did I encounter any glitches. There were many instances of the game suddenly blacking out, necessitating some alt+tab gymnastics to get back in, but I believe that had more to do with the shared account I was using to review it rather than the game itself. Some tense music does play when you are being chased, but it feels appropriate and drives home the feeling of “yes, it’s coming after you, so you better run!”Įven on my ancient 5850 this game essentially ran flawlessly on the highest settings.
