Not being able to see what lies around every corner while being boxed into a world that is too big for you is a terrifying experience that this title pulls off very well.Īvailable on: PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, PC, Xbox One, and PS4 The side-scrolling format of Little Nightmares builds tension throughout the game.
