From the eerie world of Little Nightmares to something darker and more intense, Reanimal delivers. Plus, you can play it in couch co-op.

COGconnected: 84 / 100 by Mark Steighner

Reanimal takes its cues from primal childhood trauma and the deep-seated fears that most people carry through life. It adds layers of familiar-feeling puzzles and terrifying monsters to a game that looks a lot like a Little Nightmares sibling. With the ability to play the game with another terrified human, Reanimal is all the more scary and memorable.

VGChartz: 6.5 / 10 by Lee Mehr

Tarsier Studios' greater scope from past works - presentationally & thematically - leads to both unforgettable moments and unfortunate mechanical setbacks.

Full Review

CGMagazine: 7 / 10 by Marcus Kenneth

Reanimal understands horror on a visual and emotional level, but isn't able to support it with the amount of friction in the game. When it works, it's great; when it doesn't, the cracks are impossible to ignore.

Conclusion

    The features or elements that are missing from the game according to users

    • Chapter Select: Players expressed a desire for a chapter select feature to revisit specific parts of the game, especially to collect missed items or achievements.
    • More Complex Puzzles: Users noted a lack of intricate puzzles and mechanics that would require teamwork and critical thinking, which they expected based on previous titles.
    • Expanded Story Content: Many players felt that the game should have included more narrative depth and content at launch, rather than relying on future DLC to complete the story experience.
    • Achievement Tracking for Co-op Players: There were mentions that players using the Friend's Pass were unable to unlock achievements, which could be disappointing for completionists.

    Summary

    • In summary, while "REANIMAL" is celebrated for its artistic qualities, atmosphere, and co-op gameplay, it faces criticism for its short length, pricing, technical issues, and a perceived lack of depth in gameplay mechanics and storytelling.
