Niche GamerFeb 202610/10REANIMAL is a fantastic co-op game for the Nintendo Switch 2, running at 60 fps most of the time. The simple, minimalistic controls make it a breeze to play with Joy-Cons shared between two players. It’s also an excellent gateway horror game for kids to get into since it’s easy to pick up and play and feels responsive as hell.

IGNWill BorgerFeb 20269/10Reanimal is a horror story, a journey through hell made up of the simple, elegant gameplay that Tarsier has honed to a feather's edge over the last decade.

Nintendo LifeNile BowieFeb 20269/10With 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.

Metro GameCentralFeb 20266/10A darkly atmospheric horror puzzle game from the original developers of Little Nightmares, that’s undermined by dull puzzles and too much trial and error.

Forever Classic GamesJames DernMar 20265/10It does feel a little unfair considering how much I spent my playthrough comparing these games to each other, but at the same time that’s the most logical way to engage with them. Leaving a studio to say they want to create their own IP — that looks entirely like their previous projects — doesn’t leave me much to work with.
