    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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Good properties: New things like flashlight, vents, music box, freddy mask and mini-games. These are changed the mechanics and made it more enjoyable for sure. New sounds made the ambient more terrifying. Also the map is bigger and more detailed than the first game.
    Bad properties: This game has about 10 very active animatronics, and it is really hard to beat this game. You should only wind the music box and check out hallway and vents to beat the nights after third one. The cameras are as if in vain.    … Expand

    Minha opinião:

    Gráficos: 9/10
    Personagens: 10/10 (Assustadores e bem feitos)
    Gameplay: 8/10 (Gosto muito, porém as últimas noites tem uma dificuldade esagerada)
    Lore: 9/10 (Os primeiros FNaFs tem uma ótima lore)

    Minha nota final: 8.5/10
    Seria um 9 ou 9.5 se a dificuldade fosse mais balanciáda.

    I recently played Five Nights at Freddy's 2 and have mixed feelings about it. While the graphics and sound design are impressive, I found the gameplay to be repetitive and predictable. The jumpscares were effective at first, but after a few playthroughs, they lost their impact. Additionally, the lack of a clear objective made the game feel aimless at times.

    Desain Animatronics nya lebih berwarna dan lebih cute dibanding game FNaF yg lain. Cuma ya tetep aja ini game FNaF yg jumpscare nya kali ini lebih parah daripada FNaF 1.

    Toy Chica es la única animatrónico que lleva ropa la cual es un short que para mi la hace ver muy sexy, y los hombres la adoran. A Toy Chica los fans le han hecho muchas fotos en versiones muy sexys y está claro porque lo han hecho, es la favorita de muchos hombres

    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.

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 game is harder than the first and that is fine, except the even in the first night you can die very fast. It gets so hard that most of the time you are just switching between the two vent lights, hallway lights then to the music box. You end up just doing those same actions and it gets repetitive, the horror element also isn't as present, instead relying it relies on countless jump scares. Regardless it is a fun game and it adds a lot to the lore of the franchise.… Expand

    FNAF 2 is enjoyable & teriifying at the same time.
    Watched many FNAF videos and they are still fun to watch once in a while.

    Ya que fnaf tiene poca comunicacion visual que es lo que hace al juego tan "tedioso", pero se le olvida que es un juego de aprender de los errores, y asi descubrir el juego por ti mismo.

    Lost to this monster
    To the man behind the slaughter

    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

    You now monitor 11 killers instead of 4, but pretty much that's it. The jumpscares give a good jump sometimes, but usually, they don't.

The jumpscares give a good jump sometimes, but usually, they don't. You have to check the cameras, shine your flashlight into the hallway from time to time and if any of the animatronics is approaching the office through the ventilation or has entered your office already, you have to put on your Freddy Fazbear mask in order to fool them, making them leave you alone, until they come back or the clock hits 6 AM. Sounds nice. Well, it is, but...

    ...for the cameras, cool, except for the fact, that you only have to check the Prize Counter to win, making them almost pointless.

    Let me give you a small list of things that you are going to have to do to 100% win the game. So, let's begin:
    1. As the game starts, flip your camera up and wind up the music box to prevent the Marionette from leaving.
    2. Keep winding it up until you hear ventilation sounds or a "scary" sounding ambient sound. Then flip your camera down, use your flashlight to check the hallway. If you heard the ambient sound, it means that Foxy is in the hallway. Press the flashlight button for a split second to keep him at bay. Then, check the ventilation lights to check if anyone has arrived. If there's someone in the ventilation, put on your Freddy mask and wait for them to leave. If there is no threat at the moment, flip your camera up and wind up the box again.
    3. Repeat.

    Trust me, it's harder than it sounds even though your to-do list is quite empty. But I almost forgot to mention that even though my guide states 100%, your winning chances are not full 100%. Let me introduce you to your biggest enemy that you battle against through the whole thing: RNG. The Killers may be unpredictable, but sometimes, the RNG makes them enter your office faster than you can wind up the music box, making it impossible to win sometimes, because the Marionette gets you.

    The difficulty of Five Nights at Freddy's 2 is very punishing, but it is a good game. And although it is not as enjoyable as the original Five Nights at Freddy's is, it has, unlike the first game, some replayability, thanks to optional challenges unlocked upon completing the sixth night, and it also features secret minigames that sometimes appear upon death. The game still feels rushed (and it very likely is, considering the fact that it was released only 3 months after the first game), but it has new content and features some post game content. Cool while playing on docked Nintendo Switch at night though!    … Expand

    The second game in the FNaF series is a good game but design choices make it inferior to the first. First off, I feel like the game is a lot less scarier than the first. It doesn't have that same feel that the first does. The jump scares are more startling than the first though.

This game was clearly not designed for higher difficulties which frustrates me to no end. Golden Freddy mode is the biggest offender of this. You can do everything perfectly and lighting fast and still lose just because the game says so. The RNG absolutely ruins the harder challenges for me. Even with my complaints I still think FNaF 2 is a good game. The game has some great character designs and the minigames add that extra bit of lore.    … Expand

    The game’s downfall is the forsaking of its predecessor’s main elements of dread in favor of resorting to cheap jump-scares with the over-saturation of old animatronics and the music box preventing you from being able to change your actions more.
