One of the biggest differences between Little Nightmares 3 and its predecessors is the offering of online multiplayer. The lack of co-op in Little Nightmares 2, despite there being a companion character, was seen as a letdown for fans who were hoping to actually play as both central characters. So the ability to play Little Nightmares 3 with an online friend has been considered one of the game's best features. The October 2025 patch may only target some of the core issues faced by players, but many are happy to see the developer keeping a close eye on community feedback to work on improving the game.
