Reanimal (PS5)

Schwere, wichtige Kost: Reanimal ist eine kurze, aber eindringliche und betroffen machende Reise an die Sollbruchstellen der menschlichen Seele.

Reanimal ist ein Spiel, das seine größte Stärke klar in seiner Atmosphäre hat. Die Welt wirkt dichter, bedrückender und emotional intensiver als in Little Nightmares III. Wer ein Horror Adventure sucht, das mehr Wert auf Stimmung als auf komplexe Rätsel legt, findet hier ein sehr interessantes Erlebnis.

Despite some shortcomings, Tarsier Studios has not just continued the ideas of Little Nightmares, but a full-fledged artistic expression. Nightmares has grown up, become much tougher and more mature, and even in a sense has broken out into reality. Such a work makes you want to discuss it, argue with it, interpret it in your own way.

Reanimal is bold and uncompromising evolution of Tarsier’s signature style, darker, stranger, and far less forgiving than anything that came before. I was repulsed, I was unsettled, and I loved it.

Tarsier returns to horror with a rich, meaningful evolution of its familiar Little Nightmares formula. And while it could benefit from being a little more radical, it remains utterly compelling; bleak, nasty, and full of menace.

Reanimal's story is harrowing and dark, and the accompanying visuals make it somewhat of a spectacle. Sadly, it falls short on its lack of challenging puzzle moments.
