    The excellently revised camera system and eerie villain makes Five Nights at Freddy’s 3 one of the better scare-fests out there.

    I couldn’t ask for a more terrifying game. I wouldn’t call FNAF 3 fun. In fact, it’s pretty much the opposite of fun. It’s tense and stressful and sometimes makes you want to cry when it’s not wrecking you with just the right amount of gore to put horrible thoughts in your head. But that’s the point.

    Scott Cawthorn returns with Five Nights At Freddy's 3, and while the horror continues once more, it doesn't last very long.

    New mechanics, new elements, new environment and even new animatronics. Five Nights at Freddy's comes back with a third part that tries to keep the whole thing fresh and new. Chasing by just one animatronic, the rest of gang will appear in visions and try to kill us from a heart attack in a chain of scary moments. Right now, Freddy's 3 gives back to the community what they ask for: Scary moments, a good history, and a bunch of material for the community that tries to preserve the game.

    A few new features should be sufficient for the devotees of the series, but insufficient for what should be a true sequel.

    People who have followed the Fazbear saga up to this point will likely want to close out the story, and they'll find enough to enjoy about Five Nights 3 to make it worth their time. New players curious about all the hype and considering a visit to Fazbear's Fright would be ill-advised to choose this as their jumping-on point to the series.

    It’s extremely good at scare jumps but the point is that scare jumps are an awfully primitive tool. [07/2015, p.54]

Entire new mechanics are introduced (Such as vent sealing, ventilation systems, audio systems, and having to reboot all of your systems including cameras.)
    For starters you're only chased down by one real animatronic, he makes up for this by being FAR harder to see in the cameras and being much more aggressive overall. For the most part gameplay doesn't consist of figuring out what to do when they are about to kill you, it consists of you slowing down his progress, which requires you to actively watch the cameras, unlike the previous two installments.

    The story is as great as always. This game introduces multiple endings (although you will have to jump through a LOT of hoops in order to get to it.) Initially you won't find much difference between the good ending and the bad ending, my advice is search for a bigger meaning behind them ;).
    Overall I found it to be a very great and very fun experiencee.
