Little Nightmares III (SWITCH 2)

Review of Little Nightmares III (SWITCH 2)

So, we find ourselves plunged into the chilling universe of Little Nightmares, but this time, the adventure awaits us as a duo. The major strength of this horror game on Switch 2 is undoubtedly its online cooperation. Choosing between Low and Alone, with their unique abilities, and solving puzzles together is a much more anxiety-inducing and immersive experience. Even in solo mode, the AI handles the second character rather well, but honestly, the real magic happens when you face your fears with a friend.

The game propels us into the Spiral, an absolutely beautiful and nightmarish dystopian world. The environments, like the Necropolis desert or the disturbing funfair, are characters in their own right. Each new location is an illusion to pierce and a source of constant tension. The gameplay relies on meticulous exploration, puzzle-solving, and thrilling escape sequences in the face of quite unsettling small enemies.

To summarize, if you're looking for a horror game that bets on atmosphere more than jump scares, and if cooperation tempts you, it's an excellent pick. The story of Low and Alone, these two endearing new protagonists, is the perfect thread to guide you through this artistically successful nightmare.

• Online cooperation: Play together to solve puzzles and survive.
• Two unique protagonists: Alternate between Low and Alone, each with their iconic object.
• Dystopian world: Explore the Spiral and its illusory lands (Necropolis, funfair, factory...).
• Solo and cooperative modes: The second character is controlled by AI if you play alone.
• Gameplay: A blend of exploration, puzzle-solving, and escape phases.
