    Bought it. Downloaded it. Started new game. Listened to phone-call guy. Checked cameras. Everything normal. Checked hallway. All clear. Check camera again, three animatronics missing. Started crying. Heard a spooky wheeze-laugh-squeak-sound. Ctrl+alt+deleted. Amazing game :)

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great game this presequel does honnor to the first part.
    The storyline is further explained and with the new animatronics are scary as hell.
    Golden freddy is back as well.
    10/10 would wind up music box again.

    Throughout playing Five Nights at Freddy's 2, my opinion of the game has changed.

I once thought it was a step down from its predecessor due to the "lukewarm" atmosphere and the downgraded character jumpscare animations. But now, on Night 6, I discovered what made the game better than its predecessor... Its unforgiving difficulty and sense of helplessness and paranoia that the first game somewhat lacked. 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. Now, as I am on Night 6, I realize how much better the difficulty and stress is than the first game's. Expand

    this game has an amazing story, if you got people fighting for thinking "PREQUEL!" "SEQUEL!" and theories all the way about it, you got a good story. the story is very detailed and, what's coming in the next FNaF? well im not going to say too much about it [for no spoilers] and it does not want to just put a story to justif- no. it wants you to hear the story. the story is amazing as ithis game has an amazing story, if you got people fighting for thinking "PREQUEL!"

    Oh... my... God. The first time I played through this game, I literally sat frozen to the chair for five minutes in horror. Seriously. That's how terrifying this game is. Ignore these a**hole critics and their bulls*it reviews, for while the game may not look so great, it scares the s**t out of you.

    And if you need proof that these critics are wrong, look on youtube.Just watching it is

    I really did enjoy this. I really find that this game is scary in that is preys on my most basic of instincts as a human, the ability to properly deal with a threat. 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.

    When I played this game I played it on a tablet. When I played the game I played in on the Kindle fire... not HD or HDX just Kindle fire. when I was downloading the game I was thinking to myself about as soon as I download it will crash a ton like the first Five Nights at Freddy's did at the 4th night ,but I made it to the 5th night but it didn't crash I just was stuck on that night.

    This was by far my favorite of the three! (Or 4) I love the game mechanics (Although they are the more annoying ones) and it keeps you busy you know. All in all it was a great experience,but Scott how do you do it?! Coming up with these things?

But i think i enjoyed FNaF 2 more than the first cause here has more scary animatronics and it has not the electric power problem but it's a very tough to beat game and i like it it's one of the best games i've played!

    It's like taking FNAF1 and making it more hard and scary. Also, this one added more story to it. So not only you got a great game you got a great story in it. Amazing game!

    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.

    Los jumpscare uf, que decir, dan miedo hssta el último segundo por el factor concentración, cuando menos te lo esperas puede asustarte bonnie por controlar la caja de puppet.
    En cuanto a la historia acá vemos mas información sobre los asesinatos y el hombre morado (william afton) ademas de ver que puppet era muy importante siendo la hija de Henry la que le dio vida a los animatronicos.
    Ah, la noche custom y 6th que hermoso es ver s golden freddy joderte a tal punto de hacerte no querer jugar por un rato.

    jugabilidad: la mejor de la saga junto a ucn cambia la atmósfera tétrica y pesada del fnaf 1 por una agobiante aparte de tener una dificultad balanceada y unas mecánicas originales sacando las puertas del fnaf 1 y agregando la mascara
    en fin un juegaso de la época de oro de mi franquicia de videojuegos favorita

    The second opus which is in a way improved from FNAF 1. With this time no door but a mask to protect yourself and a corridor. In FNAF 2 stress is present, at the same time it is normal there are 11 animatronics !!
    It's a good sequel that's still as good as the first game.

    This is one of Scott’s masterpieces.The game might be difficult, but you keep coming back for more.The game is totally passable, it’s not that hard.I played it on an iPad and still managed to get 3 stars.
    The game is good, and has a really good atmosphere that gives me nostalgia for some reason.
    Hopefully Security Breach will be as good or better than the original trilogy.

    Hem FNAF 1 in eksiklerini kapatmış, hem gizemleri çok daha derinleştirmiş, hem de korku öğesini çok daha arttırmış bir oyun. Çok güzel. Öneririm.

    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.

Fans and fans of the first part asked and begged to make a continuation of the story, Scott Cawthon listened to his fans and after 87 days received a game that came out even in some places even better than the original. The atmosphere, gameplay, and plot remained in place, but cut scenes and mini-games appeared after the death of the main character, which slightly complement the main storyline. Instead of the original four: Freddy, Bonnie, Chica and Foxy, in the sequel we will be hunted by as many as 10 animatronics: withered and toy. Just like in the first part, there are easter eggs that also complement the plot of this franchise. Expand

    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.

    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.
