A haunting return that mixes cooperative fear with beautiful art and some familiar annoyances.

The third installment in the series about children surviving in a macabre world returns with the addition of a multiplayer mode.

Little Nightmares III really leans into the little part of the title, to an almost Lovecraftian degree. The monstrosities in this latest edition of the

Little Nightmares III is generally a successful sequel thanks to its refined mechanics and the integration of co-op to its particular brand of horror experience. If you've played previous Little Nightmares games, you can rest assured that Little Nightmares III will bring you another deformed slice of horror you'll be eager to lap up. However, the formula of Little Nightmares hasn't changed and although it all works wonderfully well and you shouldn't try to fix what the wrench cannot, Little Nightmares deserves something more ambitious in the future. For right now though, fill those baleful boo...

Co-op horror arrives in The Nowhere, bringing friends into the nightmare for the first time. Just don't expect it to eclipse the originals.

Little Nightmares III is a solid yet unspectacular entry that translates the series' core appeal into a cooperative format but fails to fully justify the developer change or the price tag. It’s good, but not great, making it more of a recommendation for spooky season rather than a must-play horror title.

Spooky season approaches, so why not jump head first into some unsettling, atmospheric horror in an all new outing in the Little Nightmares franchise. New characters, locations and an entirely new development team bring the nauseating world of Nowhere back to life. We’re here to tell you all about it in our Little Nightmares 3 Review.

Oct 10, 2025

Little Nightmares III is a darkly beautiful follow-up that captures the series’ eerie charm but plays it too safe, offering an experience that feels more familiar than frightening.

Oct 9, 2025

While it makes for a fun, relatively short co-op jaunt, Little Nightmares 3 doesn’t live up to its predecessors. Puzzles lack complexity, the story lacks heart and, though it’s still a grim world for our protagonists, the fear factor just doesn’t pack enough punch.

The Little Nightmares franchise has been a bit of a surprise hit, moving over 20 million units to date, so it’s not surprising that publisher Bandai Namco has opted to continue on with a third entry even though series creators Tarsier Studios has decided to move on. Little Nightmares III instead comes to us from the horror specialists at Supermassive Games, who have made a clear effort to recreate the look and feel of previous entries in the series.

Yet, inconsistent controls, oversimplified puzzles, and unpredictable A.I. often undermine the experience. The more open environments and obvious paths reduce tension and exploration, making the game feel less compelling than its predecessors. In the end, it captures the series’ mood, but the execution leaves it struggling to fully satisfy.

Little Nightmares 3 is a solid addition to the beloved franchise, and Supermassive did a fine job with the project. The atmosphere is on point as it does a great job at telling a story, creating a sense of dread, and is genuinely exciting to venture through. Unfortunately, the game has minimal horror, and I wouldn’t go into it expecting to be scared. As for the gameplay itself, it’s really basic to its benefit and detriment. It’s a great game to pick up and play in a weekend, especially due to its short runtime, but it won’t offer any challenge or thought-provoking puzzles. Still, Little Night...
