    Five Night's at Freddy's 2 is a simple, yet enjoyable game. The game expands on the first game, by adding 6 new animatronics, and keeping the original 5. There are no doors, and you're forced to use a Freddy Fazbear mask to hide from the animatronics. When an animatronic is in the room, or peeking through the vents, you throw on the mask as fast as you can, otherwise you get a jumpscare.Five Night's at Freddy's 2 is a simple, yet enjoyable game.

When an animatronic is in the room, or peeking through the vents, you throw on the mask as fast as you can, otherwise you get a jumpscare. The game is also insanely difficult later in the game, you need really quick reaction times. Also, there is a custom night that allows you to customize 10 of the animatronics (Puppet can't be customized, he's always the same). Each animatronic has a max level of 20 difficulty. If all animatronics are level 20, it's impossible to win basically.

    This game isn't as scary as the first game unfortunately. But, it definately makes you more paranoid, since there are now 11 animatronics you need to watch out for, you're always wondering where they are and when you need to quickly react to them. If you're to slow, you get a jumpscare and have to restart the night. The biggest complaint I have, is the jumpscares are much less impressive than the first game. They don't scare you as much, and seem to be less animated. Still, they're pretty decent for being animated by a single man.

    Oh yes, this whole game was programmed by a single person, which is why it's even more impressive. No team at all, and it was made in about 3 months.

    Five Night's at Freddy's is a great game if you like a good scare. It's a great sequel, and expands on the story in an amazing way. I'd highly recommend this game if you liked the first, or you just want something that's relatively cheap to buy the time, since each night takes about 15 minutes. Just remember, be ready for Freddy.    … Expand

    FNaF 2 is defininetly a great addition to the series. It adds much more detail into the ever expanding lore, and is very challenging to beat fully. The so called "critics" do not know what they're talking about, since FNaF is more known for its lore than it is gameplay. None the less, the game is fantastic, very challenging, very fun, and very scary.

    The multi-tasking element here exceeds past its predecessor, a suspenseful involvement for the player. The story here is more revealed forcing players to play even farther in this game. It's scary, difficult and articulate, perfect.

    This game is designed to make you feel defenseless. There are no doors you can close, there is only a mask to put on to prevent the animatronics from getting ahead of you. It was a change of mechanics where you will feel more cornered.

    Although the game came out rather quickly, the prequel to FNAF innovates enough to make the game seem intuitive and not-repetitive. The game is absolutely worth the $8 asking price and is able to give you the experience you were expecting from this title. All in all. it's a solid game and I can't wait to see where it goes next.

    This game is well below its previous game, assuming that this game has to be scary .
    But the positive that has is its high difficulty that can make you lose several hours of your life, if you want 100% complete .

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Five Nights at Freddy's was incredibly popular for many reasons. It was something new, it had a different form of enemy, it was cheap, it was difficult, it had an interesting back story... In short, it quickly became one of the most surprising games of 2014 after its soft release, but many plays, The hilarious Let's Play videos only helped to bolster its popularity. Knowing that he had a winner on his hands, Scott Cawthon quickly developed the next one and released it... only a few months after the first! If you thought COD was bad for sequels, try releasing 2 games within 3 months of each other. The thing is, Freddy's 2 somehow manages to keep the scares, the difficulty and the unique characters if the original, while improving in almost every way! Every way that is, except for the most important...

    This time you play as guard Jeremy Fitzgerald at a new and improved Pizzeria. There are now eleven animatronics instead of five and they range from reinvented versions of the originals to nasty new ones like a laughing Balloon Boy and a Puppet that constantly forces you to watch your cameras. I still love the character designs- the animatronics are somehow innocent, yet incredibly horrifying all at the same time. Take the original Freddy for example- he looks alright, if a little battered, but put him in the right position and he's the scariest monster in the game. The animatronics are noticeably more active in this game and right from the start they'll come for you. The AI is much better this time around and the game holds your hand even less than the first one did... while the Phone Guy gave twisted tutorials in the first game, now he is content to just tell you backstory and doesn't even bother explaining the new mechanics....

    Speaking of these new mechanics, the game is very similar to the first one, but changes enough to feel innovative. There are no doors now, with the animatronics crawling through vents to reach you or just coming head on. That's why you have a Freddy mask- while you are watching your cameras (of which there are even more now), the creatures will sneak into the room. Pull down your tablet and wollah- a faceless Bonnie is standing above you in the office. If you are quick enough you can put on the mask, wait for her to leave and then go about your business like nothing happened. If you are slow however... jump scare time! While this is much harder than the original, a feature has also been cut out- power monitoring! You now have a bigger budget and never need to worry about the lights going out. if you think this makes it easy, think again. You have a flash light with limited battery and while it takes a while to drain it, it is instrumental to getting you scared. Another new feature- you now must wind up a music box repeatedly. If it goes completely down, a Puppet animatronic comes and kills you. I have mixed feelings about this mechanic. While you get notifications when the box is about to run out, I hated it when the animatronics pull down your camera just as the box is about to wind up. By the time you've avoided them, the thing has run out and the Puppet comes to kill you. These deaths are cheap and made me wish the mechanic was never included. Then again, the fans love a challenge and this supplies it!

    Once again, the graphics are poor. I don't mind the low budget feel and the animatronic models look excellent, but this game sucks hard when it comes to environments and lighting. The sound design is still top of the line though, with a creepy score and some freaky sound cues, like the constant dialogue from a child saying "Hi". The ambient sounds are also pretty damn freaky. Once again there are no issues with the controls, because you barely control anything. When it comes to entertainment, once again there is a main campaign of five nights, along with a bonus 6th night and the Custom Night. Once again you won't feel the need to replay this either, as a tense hour of it is enough for what you get.

    Freddy's 2 is fun and is easily my preference in the series. While it doesn't advance too much and there is still a fair amount of repetition (though that is broken up with "cutscenes" and 8-bit arcade games), this feels like enough of a revolution to make sequel status. However, a few more new ideas would certainly help with the inevitable third game.    … Expand

In the first game, i breezed through nights 1-4, completed night 5 with a bit of trouble, and completed Night 6 after many, many tries. An unnecessary difficulty spike from night 5 to 6. But in Five Night's at Freddy's 2, Night 1 was unusually difficult for night one and the nights had a steady difficulty increase unlike the first game which was a bit fluctuate with its difficulty.

I can't run from the threat like in slenderman or shoot it or anything like that. All I can do is delay the inevitable just a little longer.

As for the story, it actually takes the games lore and fleshes it out in the most surprising and interesting ways. I won't spoil it or even explain it too much, but i would definitely check out the Game Theory episodes on the game's lore to get a better understanding. You just might be amazed at how much effort and though went into these games' lore. Now for the gameplay, which thankfully keeps what made the first game successful. The premise and design of the animatronic monsters really does appeal to a lot of people's common fear of animatronic as kids, and turns that fear into a living, breathing, interactive nightmare. This is great, because even if it won't scare everybody, it actually targets and plays with a very common fear, which is brilliant! It feels a lot more original than just having people chased by bloody gruesome monsters, where the fear really comes from the atmosphere and chasing. However, this series's main hook is it's original gameplay. it's essentially a stress management game, where you have to keep track of where all the robots are so they can't get closer, hold robots in place with your flashlight, make sure to check your room and put on your mask in time to avoid death, and all while keeping the music box wound up from time to time so you won't get killed by "the marionette". If this sounds stressful, that's the point. You never truly feel safe in this game, and the true horror comes from you having to micromanage everything, never truly knowing when the scares will come, if you'll be able to prevent it, or if you can react fast enough. This really creates some truly tense and horrifying moments from pure, suspenseful, organic horror that doesn't just rely on jumpscares, but rather on your own stress and ability to manage everything. The premise and gameplay from the first game are still here, but i feel as though they've mixed it up and added more elements to really emphasize the game's strong points. The power management mechanics are mostly gone, and now your flash light only has a battery. However, this game's biggest strong point comes from the decision to remove the doors and replace them with an empty Freddy mask, which both makes more sense and adds more tension. Instead of just looking outside your office and then closing the door like in the first game, the robots now can just appear in your office, and only give you a few seconds to react. These make for some of the scariest encounters in the game since they just appear right in front of you, and you're left wondering if they've seen you or not for a second or two. If they have, the game's trademark jumpscares are executed right when you least expect it. Other than the horror this new element brings, it also adds to the gameplay as well. Since you never feel truly safe from the animatronics in the game, like you could be by simply keeping the doors closed in the first game, every robot truly plays a threat because of how little time you have to react to their presence, so you have to really keep tabs on all of them. Finally, there's the ever-dreaded "marionette". This plays a very crucial part to the gameplay, as well as the story. Basically, if you don't take the time to check camera 11 and manually wind up the music box, the timer will run out, and you'll be subjected to the scariest robot in the game. This works similarly to how foxy worked in the original, except it's much more streamlined, you're alerted when the music box is about to run out, you have fewer seconds to react to the music box being opened, and once it is, there is NO way to stop it. This once again leads to some truly horrifying moments, as often you'll be faced with a robot in or near your office, and you need to risk it and come out of your cover to wind up the music box. And if you take too long, it's game over. These elements have amazing synergy together, and make it apparent that the power management on top of all of this would be a little overkill, but the little part of it that remains is still fair. Now, on to my only one complaint: this hame can be UNFORGIVING at times. All of the things you need to manage can quickly get out of hand and lead to many deaths, which to some can get repetitive. Thankfully, the game is randomly generated every night, so you won't be doing the exact same thing over and over. I will say that it is refreshing to see a horror game that's not afraid to actually get challenging in general, and how it embraces gameplay mechanics above all else, but it will get BRUTALLY HARD! All of these elements combined make for a truly unique and terrifying horror game that improves on it's predecessor in every conceivable way, adding new twists of it's own and trimming out the fat.… Expand

When I started new game, I was in a different setting. This toned me to happiness. There are more animatronics, so it's obvious that it was gonna get more tricky. If it wasn't for my oh-so brilliant skills I would be raging right now and not typing this review, though needless to say, I died at 4am on night 1 by Toy Chica. Luckily no scream was needed, I simply just jumped back. My hear was beating on night 2, when Foxy had arrived back from the old game and so was every challenge I could face.

    So oh-so good at this game, "JAMSpam," why is the game good? Well that's because:

    ·More to uncover
    ·Creepier animatronics
    ·Just right jumpscare volume
    ·Little plishie prizes for beating 20 mode challenges
    ·Secret night
    ·More dank memes

    The problem with this sequel game is that winding that damn music box and other chores you need to accomplish gets real old after the first 3 or 4 nights. If you can get past that, this game is equally as scary and suspenseful as the first game. This one really relies on the sounds to send chills down your spine.

    Gameplay-FNAF two is similar to fnaf one in the premises of the game but undeniably different. Scott Cawthon gets rid of certain feature from the first game such as building power and replaces them with balancing aspects such as no doors. FNAF two difficulty is ultimately well done because of the balance of new difficulties and the removal of old difficulties.
    Explanation-If there’s any problem with FNAF it's that the phone guy did not properly explain one or two aspects. Ultimately he did a good job but I found myself confused at some points.
    Minigame-The death minigames provide like the rest of the game a creepy and authentic experience and ultimately add to the games effect.

    FNAF 2 improves on some things such as faster control response when flicking a light switch. This game is more intense than the first game with more animatronics coming after you and not having any doors to shut. This game isn't scary but its really intense, it'll keep you on you're toes throughout.

    FNAF 2 expands on the first game by doubling the amount of animatronics that you confront and adding the constant feeling of panic making the game's pace twice as fast as the first.

This is another great example of how Fnaf is SO good. It may not delivered as a breathtaking experience as the first or the fourth, but it makes it really good with its scares, writing, and a great new way to tell its story.

    Cuenta buena historia para ser un segundo juego de la saga porque inicio los minijuegos y son bastante decentes además de contar el lore.
    Scott hizo un buen trabajo los animatronicos están bien solo que la cámara de los animatronicos toy ósea el showstage de los toy se ve que podría mejorar ya que ahí se ven como si los diseños en general son malos cosa que no es así.
    ahora opinare de los animatronicos o enemigos:
    toy Freddy: Es algo feo pero bueno el color no me gusta se ve raro y las mejillas rojas le quedan mal pero así son los toy así que hay que aceptar eso pero lo peor es que se ve muy mal cuando se para en frente mío se ve un diseño feo y mal color en todo es horrible y los ojos ni hablar a toy freddy le doy un 2/10
    toy Bonnie: Digo lo mismo que toy freddy cumple con su rol de dar miedo? obvio si pero da miedo de lo feo y mal hecho yo creo que phantom chica esta mejor que los toy pero al menos toy bonnie se ve algo mejor que toy freddy le doy un 3/10
    toy chica: No se si scott es simp o lo soy yo pero veo que esta mejor que los demás y mas cuando se quita los ojos porque cumple dos funciones no darle miedo a los niños cuando esta con los ojos y cuando se los quita es otra cosa, lo malo es una cosa es que esta muy sexual y para algunos niños no es apropiado ver eso pero bueno nadie puede salvarse de la rule... le doy un 8/10
    todos los old menos old foxy: son hermosos yo creo que son super buenos al verlos se genera un miedo porque lo destruido y sucio genera un miedo diferente a otros. le doy un 9/10
    old foxy: Es increible lo separe de los otros porque es un diseño diferente esta muy bueno esta muy destruido y sucio pero mas y en partes exactas donde se ve un miedo perfecto. le doy un 10/10}
    puppet: No da miedo pero lo que da miedo es su mecánica y el jumpscare aunque sabes que te va a saltar cuando se acaba la caja da miedo igual esa mecánica es muy buena y logra sorprender a gente que busca un miedo diferente hablando de un miedo mas intenso puppet logra tener un diseño que no da miedo pero una mecánica que si, le doy un 7/10
    golden freddy: Soy yo o se ve muy real? yo creo que se ve muy real es un diseño perfecto jumpscare perfecto además de si aparecer en la custom night las mancha que tiene son super buenas en calidad. le doy un 9/10
    mangle: parece que la hicieron muy apurada no me gusta el diseño esta feo igual a los toy el color es feo la otra cabeza no se sabe que es parece una aberración me hubiera gustado que en ves de estar así hubiera estado construida. le doy un 1/10
    balloon boy: Es feo horrible su mecánica es terrible es molesto y muy raro su risa es estresante ya que hay muchos animatronicos en el juego quitar uno no hubiera hecho daño es un niño castroso y raro parece quico del chavo del 8 es lo peor es lo que le quita un punto de miedo porque si no estuviera fnaf yo creo que daría un poco mas miedo. le doy un 0/10

    FNaF 2 is the first FNaF game that I've played myself. Before this, I've watched a handful of YouTubers playing most of the FNaF games. I was originally very excited to play this after seeing many good reviews, but I didn't know what I had coming.

    - Gameplay: 7/10 Is FNaF 2 a fun game? Yes. Does it have much variety? No. Because of the very high paced nature of the game, the player    FNaF 2 is the first FNaF game that I've played myself. Before this, I've watched a handful of YouTubers playing most of the FNaF games. I was originally very excited to play this after seeing many good reviews, but I didn't know what I had coming.

    - Gameplay: 7/10
    Is FNaF 2 a fun game? Yes. Does it have much variety? No. Because of the very high paced nature of the game, the player has, mostly in later nights, only time to check the cam with the music box. Because of this, the most efficient and safe way to play this game is to follow a strict pattern which involves: never changing your camera, putting on the mask directly after closing the cam and flashing the lights a couple times before repeating everything. This results in very monotone and stale gameplay at times. Another contributing factor is the little to no variation of different attacks from the animatronics. This makes it so that using your mask and flashing down the hallway are the only 2 things that really need to be done. Also, the change of power usage from FNaF one makes it so that you will almost never run out of battery, making it easier than it actually should be. Apart from this, its fast and smooth gameplay makes it very fun to play.

    - Atmosphere: 10/10
    The FNaF 2 atmosphere has almost become a meme by now. Yes, the lights are very bright in the office, but this does not take away from it's scary atmosphere. The lack of doors and the sudden scare of the animatronics being right in front of you creates an all time tense feeling. I can feel sweat rolling down my arms while playing this just because of the pure tenseness.

    - Jump-scares: 6/10
    The jump-scares and overall scariness of this game are pretty lacklustre. Do they make me jump? Yes. BUT THEY ARE SO LAZILY DONE! The images that they used for the actual jump-scare are just stale PNG's that they stretched out in size once a player dies. The jump-scares are mostly very predictable; You will always see the animatronic before they attack you (apart from foxy). Because of this and the earlier given high velocity of the game, the game will be mostly be perceived as very stressful, while not being as scary as the other FNaFs.

    - Sounddesign: 7/10
    There is not much to say about the sounddesign. Most animatronics enter through the vents, while having all the same sound. The middle sound effect is kind of scary, even tho it loses some of its power after hearing it a million times. The sound overall is scary. The noise, the laughter, the vents... all build up for even more tension.

    - Lore: 8/10
    Compared to the other FNaFs, this one once again may not be the best game lore-wise. This however does not take away from its fun mini-games and it's importance in the series's history. FNaF 2 is and will always be essential for the community.

    - Innovation: 7/10
    FNaF 2 had a lot of hype surrounding it's release, being the follow up to FNaF 1. I wholeheartedly believe that Scott made the right decision about the overall concept of the game. Even tho it's different from FNaF 1, it's still close enough so that old fans won't be scared away by the change. The only problem is, as mentioned earlier, that the addition of the music box-mechanic does more bad than good.

    - Replay-ability: 9/10
    Because of the earlier noted pattern-based approach that the developers took with FNaF 2, it makes it so that it's very challenging and fun to master. It's a game that you can always open up and play for any amount of time.

    - Price: 9/10
    You can't really ever go wrong with a game priced at €7,99.

    CONCLUSION: Even tho FNaF 2 was a little bit underwhelming for me at first but after playing it completely, I was pleasantly surprised. Even tho the game is clearly flawed and can get stale at times, you can still pick it up and have some fun with it. It's still a very worthy successor of the original.    … Expand

    This is game is more of a challenge than the first game, there are more animatronics, zero doors and you had to wind up the music box repeatedly for five nights. Scott never disappoints us with his masterpiece. Doesn't really come off scary if you played the first game and got jumpscared a lot of times. 11+ year olds could play this game but don't force them if they don't want to.

    Five Nights at Freddy's 2 is a game for Youtubers. Buy it if you love to scream louder than your little cousin.

    Basically the same game as the first one, but modifications made the experience rather harmful. Sometimes you will be scared, but overall the game does not offer anything exceptional. You better play the first part again.
