    Best game in the series, Springtrap's design is truly terrifying and the jumpscares are way more scarier than the 2nd game. Keep in mind that this game is not suitable for kids under 11 due to more violence and gore than the first 2 games.

    A great game! Better then Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 but not better then the first game. The designs of the animatronics are meh except for Springtrap his design is great and scary in so many ways. Try this game out now if you love puzzle games!

    I love this game, story/lore is truly amazing. William is a G.
    This whole series and story is goated.

    If you hate the game and series you are just **** at it get good bozo, plain simple, like ur mom.

    Five Nights at Freddy's 3 is the sequel to the cult and one of the most popular indie horror game franchises. The action takes place in a horror attraction, where phantoms will constantly frighten visitors. But the phantoms will be joined by a real animatronic called Springtrap, who turns out to be a Purple guy in the story.

    I have always felt that FNaF 3 was an underrated title. Sure the jump scares aren't frightening, but I think that works in the game's favor. It honestly lets me focus more on the actual game rather than worrying about flinching from a jump scare. It really feels more like a strategy game as opposed to closing a door or putting on a mask when an animatronic shows up. The game has greatI have always felt that FNaF 3 was an underrated title.

It really feels more like a strategy game as opposed to closing a door or putting on a mask when an animatronic shows up. The game has great sound design and a spooky atmosphere. On the other hand one big negative of the game is how heavily is relies on RNG, especially on aggressive nightmare mode. This is also a big problem for me with multiple entries in the series. Very underrated game. Expand

    A good game sometimes even starts to scare, only with each new night it becomes more difficult to play and it becomes not scary for you, it starts to annoy you, but the third part of fnaf is not bad

    Biraz karmaşık ve saçma bir oyun. Korku öğeleri az, hikayesi ve gizemleri çok güzel değil. Yine de eğlenceli, tavsiye edeceğim türden. Ben sevdim, fakat her insan sevmez.

    I finished this game--NO, I over-finished it by completing even the nightmare mode, unraveling secrets, playing mini-games. That's how I'm engrossed in this game. The change in style and mechanics again are great. It is a full-on throttle experience if you want to feel the dread of FNAF 1 and 2 again

    The third installment of the FNAF franchise is unfortunately the worst: in terms of new characters there is only Springtrap.
    In terms of history, it is the best.
    But the mechanisms are too based on chance.
    Well this one is perhaps the only opus to have several endings but it remains the less good.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Con este juego tengo sentimientos encontrados.
    Me encanto la idea de scott de hacer un 1vs1 de padre e hijo pero no fue muy bien ejecutado.
    Graficamente esta ok, se ve muy hermoso esta muy cuidado, te hace sentir nervioso y el diseño de Springtrap es una genialidad.
    Por parte de la jugabilidad me parece bien, tenemos para resetear camaras, ventilación, audio y los ductos.
    Los phantom son hermosos, BB, freddy, puppet, foxy todos son buenisimos no hay uno que se vea mal, todos asustan cuando los ves y en un descuido podrian hacer que llegue muy rápidamente william a la oficina.
    Sobre la historia es muy bien planteada, mostrando en minijuegos todo hasta ver las almas yendo a por su asesino y verlo morir de una manera horrible en el traje de SPRINGBONNIE para verlo regresar en este juego y en un futuro...

    FNAF 3 is amazingly good. It used to be one of my favourite FNAF Parts (Till FFPS came out). I strongly recommend you this game

    A game that gives chills just remembering. It is as scary as the first game and has almost the same dynamics as the second game. It was the best game in this saga so far.

    3 gives us the perfect example of player vs AI. Stuck alone with only one thing to kill you this game forces you to lure him away as you play sounds, that one thing new, but there's a lot more here. New parts of the story are revealed here, very suspenseful and frightening.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There's no doubt that this may be the creepiest of the FNaF games. Having only one real animatronic can be a pro and a con, but let me tell you, the first time I had to stare it in the face, it was extremely effective. Still can't get that picture of the bunny staring from the corner of the doorway out of my head. I'm glad Scott went with something a little different this time, and it's spooky enough when you first start and have no clue what you're supposed to be doing. Expand

    This one was lacking huge qualities, first of all the jumpscares were not scary, they were mediocre. While I did like the gameplay and the story the jumpscares just didn't do it.

    As of writing this review most problems I have ever experienced with this game have been patched, I like the new direction he took instead of just being in a pizzeria but it still manages to maintain the same feel and atmosphere as the first two, I think my main complaint is that the phantoms always give you a warning so you can prepare for the jump scare and Springtrap hardly even has aAs of writing this review most problems I have ever experienced with this game have been patched, I like the new direction he took instead of just being in a pizzeria but it still manages to maintain the same feel and atmosphere as the first two, I think my main complaint is that the phantoms always give you a warning so you can prepare for the jump scare and Springtrap hardly even has a "jump scare" it just kind of looks like he's offering you a cup of tea... so it's not really that scary which is a disappointment but still a god installment. definitely better than the fourth one, that one is garbage.

    A really solid game (not to spoil anything and to keep it short), but is can be not scary sometimes and it isn't as hard as the other games (through i would play this than fnaf 4 because that's really stressful).

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I love the FNaF franchise and all of it's games. But the least favorite of them for me is the third game. I think it's the least scariest and Springtrap the new animatronic is very annoying and very hard to escape or lure it away. But i like this game to. Expand

    I love the story unfolding in this one and how the animatronics have really been combined into one deemed to be 'ultimate' animatronic. I liked the introduction of keeping your camera's up and audio up, and the jump scares from foxy and balloon boy are terrifying! However i think the main jump scare could do with some work as it is kind of pathetic.

    This game was super in a depressing way. My main problem with this game is that ITS NOT SCARY! Springtrap takes the randomness out of the game and Foxy does this well when he isnt even the main antagonist. The jumpscares were well done. But it was the worse compared to its last succesors. It wasnt bad....but not all to good.

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

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

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