    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Although admittedly the Five Nights at Freddy's series has got a reputation for being extremely repetitive, this game mixes up the formula more than any other incarnation of the franchise.

    You take the role of an unnamed child in their house, facing PTSD induced nightmares after a traumatic event at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza some time prior. You must use only a torch to fight them off, by flashing the light down hallways. If they are too close, close enough that you can hear them breathing, you must hold the door shut until you hear them leave.

    In this game, there is a total of 5 main nights and a bonus sixth night alongside various challenge modes and mini games. Beating the main campaign will unlock the extras menu, where you can do things such as looking at the character models, jumpscares and playing the mini games at any given time.

    Overall, this game has got to be one of my favourite horror games, there's plenty to do and a perfect challenge factor, allowing it to be hard enough to make it difficult at times, even for expert players, but also be welcoming to new players, with various tips included in the game and the lack of a steep learning curve.

    Five Nights at Freddy's 4 is an incredibly well crafted game, and one well worth checking out.    … Expand

    I think this is a great ending to a very successful and great series! This game is packed with lore, once pieced together throughout all the games you get a great deep detailed story and most of all it delivers great scares!

    I think this has to be the best of the series, great ending to an entire experience. Scott has outdone himself! I would recommend getting this since it's very cheap on steam, android and coming soon iOS.

So over-all the game still scares the crap out of me and its definitely its the best out of the series… Expand

    I think this is the best one made in the FNAF set. The whole environment has changed and it is creepier because you think to yourself about how this could happen in your own room at home.

    Five Nights at Freddy's 4 is the final chapter in the Five Nights at Freddy's series, together with being the last game, it's also the scariest game in the series as well.
    The game is COMPLETELY different in the gameplay than all of the previous games, you don't have a security camera anymore, all you have to defend yourself is a flashlight, to scare the animatronics away.
    The gameplay    Five Nights at Freddy's 4 is the final chapter in the Five Nights at Freddy's series, together with being the last game, it's also the scariest game in the series as well.
    The game is COMPLETELY different in the gameplay than all of the previous games, you don't have a security camera anymore, all you have to defend yourself is a flashlight, to scare the animatronics away.
    The gameplay is made in such a way, that you need to focus on the audio cues, making you to concentrate on the game carefully, making you feel like you're a part of it all.
    The animations in this game are amazing, everything is now completely fluid, and doesn't feel like they're "laggy" at all.
    The graphics and everything are amazing too, it looks like Scott Cawthon put all of his effort into this game.
    Now, I'll explain why it is so scary, it's pretty simple. You're a kid, having to defend yourself against the Nightmare Animatronics, in order to do so, you need to move next to the doors, and listen carefully if there are breathing sounds, if there are breathing sounds, you need to shut down the door, and wait 'till you hear footsteps. But you never know if you're safe. If you succesfully defended yourself, or not. The next time you flash the light, might be the time of your death. And during the time you have to shut down the door. If you succesfully defend yourself, you still cannot think calmly. You're still worried an animatronic can come from the door, or the bed, or even the closet. You have to constatly defend yourself, while being scared of the animatronics.
    The game is also very good at causing surprise attacks. Things like Foxy's "Failed Jumpscare" is something which makes the game feel a lot more lively, and great. There are also a few nights where you suddenly have to change your strategy, due to something new coming up, making you have a lot of more fright due to the fact of not knowing what to do, due to the extremely creepy looks of the animatronics.
    The game also has some small things which made the first game very good, like random, creepy sounds, like Freddy's laugh, dogs barking, and such.
    The game also reveals another part of the FNaF story, which is quite sad.

    Five Nights at Freddy's 4 is an amazing horror game, which brings together the scariest parts of all the games, turning it into a game with brand new gameplay, creepy animatronics, and everything you need in a good horror game.
    I recommend Five Nights at Freddy's 4 greatly, if you did not like the previous games, I would recommend you to pick this one up, as this one will very likely scare the heck outta you.    … Expand

    I don't know why this masterpice has mixed ratings. I think this is the scariest of the FNaF series with the scariest animatronics and jumpscares. I really loved this game. From the Nightmare animatronics my favorite is Nightmare Bonnie he is the scariest i think.

    For all those who think Five Nights At Freddy's is a horror game, it's not. Really, jump-scares are bland and everything is very repetitive. Then why am I giving it a very high score?

The reason is because Five Nights At Freddy's is not a horror game, it is a beautiful, deep and mysterious storybook, at a reasonable price. From the first game to now, the lore hidden behind every detail proofs game developer Scott Cawthon a mastermind at story-telling. I've heard that there is a movie version (adapted by Warner Bros, directed by Gil Kenan) coming up, and I think that this movie would finally break through the cycle of horrible game-to-movie cliche.

    I hate the fact that the critics couldn't seem to grasp the detail of what Five Nights At Freddy's really is, one critic even expressed that the mini-games between each nights are unnecessary. Seriously, I think that these critics are only those people who play games for a living and they don't bother to check out the lore in games.

    Overall, it is a pleasure to have gone through the wonderful journey of the FNAF franchise universe. However, I do think that the genre of this game should be interactive movie instead of point and click.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is different from the other chapters, but that doesn't mean it's bad. Switching from video to audio is a smart decision from Scott, because looking at the cameras for three past parts was getting a bit repetitive. When now the audio has a key role in the game, there's no way you will be able to play it without headphones, or at least speakers (I would recommend headphones). The game itself is a remaster of the first part, with two doors on the left and right side of the house, oh yeah I forgot, If someone haven't figured out by now, we're in a house now and playing as a child (reminds of Among the sleep). In the gameplay you can actually move but only to the doors and back, at the door it's like playing Russian roulette where you look at the abyss of the hallway like in a muzzle of a revolver and listen for breathing sounds, in the end you flash in the hallway and if someone is stepping back in to the shadow... Congrats, you listened carefully and avoided the bullet, if not.. BAM.

    The game itself has a somewhat a Boogeyman style now because you try to avoid not normal or broken animatronics but Nightmares, Nightmarish, Twisted versions of Freddy Fazzbear and his little minions with the rest of the crew, and there's also a few new ones in the team as well.

    So if you've played the previous three parts and bored of the whole pizzeria and cameras theme, this last part refreshes the franchise anew.    … Expand

    FNAF is ever-changing take on style for fright and scaring the gamers out of their mind and Scott's fourth game is implemented hugely different from its predecessor in a good way.

    FNaF4 differs from the previous games and that’s good. I had a bit more fun with it but it’s still based on jump scares and that’s the least refined technique of scaring. [10/2015, p.73]

    FNAF takes a step back, and relies on sound to scare you. It still works, but now your biggest fear would be going deaf because of its loud scare jumps.
