Stylish action-adventure with dark atmosphere building on Little Nightmares DNA. Excellent pacing despite simple mechanics.
Haunting co-op platformer surpassing Little Nightmares through exceptional world-building and atmosphere.
Weird ambitious adventure expanding Little Nightmares formula. Strong atmosphere with good co-op.
Ambitious horror puzzle-platformer evolution with impeccable sound and gorgeous lighting.
Masterful atmospheric horror journey through a mysterious hell with elegant gameplay, stunning visual composition, and compelling mystery. Minor frustrations with puzzle clarity don't diminish the powerful storytelling and rewarding exploration experience.
Reanimal is Tarsier Studios' best work to date, refining their Little Nightmares formula with excellent gameplay variety, visual and audio presentation, and atmospheric horror experience. While trial-and-error sequences and occasional buggy prompts detract slightly, the overall package is impressive and gripping in both solo and co-op.
A successful return to form by Tarsier Studios that delivers the dark, atmospheric action-adventure experience fans expect. Reanimal excels with full co-op support, intriguing storytelling, and excellent direction, though its brief 5-hour campaign and reliance on paid expansions for complete narrative satisfaction hold it back.

“A creepy, atmospheric horror game with excellent map design and level guidance, but hampered by an ambiguous story, short length, and high price point relative to playtime.”
Watch - Aarhn.eu👍 positive
“Reanimal is a solidly made, well-directed atmospheric horror title that represents Ter Studios' best work in their signature style, with exceptional audiovisual design and atmosphere that should appeal to fans of the genre, though the scripted, simple gameplay formula may bore players expecting more complex mechanics.”

“A masterpiece and the pinnacle of Tarsier Studios' distinctive horror-adventure formula, delivering an unforgettable experience with exceptional art direction, sound design, and narrative that lingers long after the credits.”
Watch - GGame Two😐 mixed
“The reviewer praises Reanimal as surpassing Little Nightmares 1 and delivering everything promised by its trailers. Despite minor technical issues and reduced atmosphere in co-op play, the grotesque artistry, atmospheric horror, and strong storytelling create a compelling experience.”
Watch - DDost Kayaoğlu👎 negative
“The creator (and his wife) played Reanimal, Tarsier Studios' Little Nightmares-style co-op horror-puzzle game. He calls it a step down from Little Nightmares 2, criticizing the studio for reusing the same shallow puzzle-platformer formula with almost no innovation despite the two-character co-op hook. Forgettable days after finishing, though the art direction and co-op made it enjoyable in the moment.”
Watch - TThe Co-Op Bros👍 positive
“Reanimal delivers a strong atmospheric horror co-op experience with excellent visuals and cinematic setpieces, though stealth sections can drag and co-op mechanics don't reinvent the wheel. Recommended for players seeking an eerie adventure to share with a friend.”
Watch - TThe GamerCritic😐 mixed
“Reanimal is a spiritual successor to Little Nightmares that successfully delivers on its atmospheric promises with stunning visuals, engaging storytelling, and exceptional audio design, though it carries over some gameplay issues and suffers from serious co-op connectivity problems.”
