Reanimal Launches to Strong Praise for Atmosphere as Short Runtime Draws Notice

Early reviews point to a vividly crafted horror experience that prioritizes mood over mechanical novelty.

Overview

  • Tarsier Studios’ new horror title released February 13 on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC and Nintendo Switch 2 at about $39–$40.
  • Critics highlight striking art direction, sound design, cinematic camera work and tightly choreographed set pieces, with some calling it the studio’s best to date.
  • Gameplay hews closely to the Little Nightmares formula with stealth, platforming, chases and light combat presented through a fixed 3D perspective.
  • The campaign is brief at roughly four to six hours, with reviews noting occasional trial-and-error sequences along with minor camera and AI hiccups.
  • The game supports solo play with an AI partner or local/online co-op, includes a friend pass/GameShare-style option, and has multiple DLC story packs planned.
