OpenCritic

ComicBook.com: 4 / 5

Taking cues from Playdead’s scant yet genre-defining pair of titles and Tarsier’s most famous series, Reanimal’s premise of throwing children into hazardous scenarios within strange lands seems initially like a retread of genre classics. This foundation gives it a recognizable base that it leverages to its advantage quite well.

Full Review

Nintendo Life: 9 / 10 by Nile Bowie

With Reanimal, Tarsier Studios delivers its darkest, boldest work yet. Expanding on the Little Nightmares formula with non-linear exploration, striking audiovisual design, and bombastic set pieces, this is an imaginative horror experience that confidently delivers its vision while offering accessible co-op play that fans of the developer have long clamoured for.

Full Review

Daily Mirror: 3 / 5

What’s here is familiar, yes, but the addition of co-op and some seriously memorable set pieces primed to send a chill down the spine mostly makes up for it. When taken as a whole, it’s hard to deny that these little nightmares have started to grow up (if only ever so slightly).

  • Enhanced Gameplay Mechanics: Users appreciate the expanded gameplay mechanics compared to the *Little Nightmares* series, including basic combat and a variety of movement options that enhance pacing and engagement.
  • Emotional Depth: The narrative, while ambiguous, explores dark themes effectively, providing an emotional weight through the sibling relationship at the core of the story.

The main cons of the game

  • Short Playtime: Many users feel that the game is too short (approximately 3-5 hours), especially for its price point of $40, which leads to concerns about value for money.
  • Technical Issues: Players have reported bugs, frame rate drops, and connection issues, particularly in co-op mode, affecting the overall experience.
  • Lack of Depth in Puzzles: Some reviews mention that the puzzles are simplistic and lack the complexity found in the earlier *Little Nightmares* games, making gameplay feel less engaging.
