    Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach is an excellent addition to the FNAF timeline, and also introduces a new approach to the title without feeling repetitive. New characters and terrors await each new player, and you don't need background knowledge to enjoy the game straight off the bat. Not only will you love this game, but you'll also for sure acquire some new nightmare fuel along the way.

    While offering a lot more varied content from previous installments, Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach is unfortunately riddled with a myriad of technical and design issues. As a result, it’s a title I can only recommend to hardcore series fans and survival horror fanatics after most of its issues have been fixed.

    Five Nights At Freddy’s: Security Breach is the newest addition to the fans' favourite indie survival horror series and although it expands its ideas into 3D space marvellously, due to its performance issues it delivers an undercooked pizza experience.

    Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach is not a game that revolutionizes survival horror. By taking up the codes of the genre without particularly original ideas, the title is intended above all for fans of the franchise who wish to learn more and more about this horrific universe filled with animatronics and secrets. Unfortunately, the many bugs, the technical issues, the lack of finish and the rather too visible tricks used by the developers to scare people make the experience difficult for others. It is nonetheless a classic horror game with some interesting sequences that will be able to please survival-horror lovers who lack titles to be consumed.

    Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach tries to convince with his new gameplay mechanics but doesn't achieve this in the most parts. The only really horrible things are the bugs and the game could be so much better with more development time.

Sacando de lado ese tema su historia es alucinante como tambien sus rutas y distintos finales. asi que es un juego recomendado 10/10. Expand

    Pontos importantes e positivos a se destacar são: O mapa muito bem trabalhado, onde é perceptível o amor dos desenvolvedores em cada um dos detalhes; o jogo também consegue inovar na gameplay (esta que já estava muito saturada); o estilo do jogo também é um ponto importante, uma vez que contrasta com todos os outros jogos da franquia, sendo este um estilo voltado para o ''neon''.
    Também é importante comentar sobre os pontos negativos, como os bugs, o fanservice exagerado em determinados momentos e a repetição constante de certas ações, sendo essa, na minha opinião, o verdadeiro problema do jogo, pois há momentos em que o terror é deixado de lado para dar lugar a uma espécie de simulador de trabalho (pegue isso, faça aquilo, ande até aquela sala e etc).
    Concluindo: Five Nights At Freddy's Security Breach configura-se como uma experiência diferente de outros jogos da série Five Nights At Freddy's, mas ainda sim não perde sua essência, embora tenha momentos maçantes e bugados, consegue ser uma experiência divertida que agrada o jogador.

    Overall not that great of a game. The story is not executed well, bugs are everywhere, Very questionable Plot, and 3D does not fit the styleOverall not that great of a game. The story is not executed well, bugs are everywhere, Very questionable Plot, and 3D does not fit the style of the other FNAF releases. They should have gone to the drawing board with this one. (I hope I'm not being too harsh though) They should keep it 2D but points for trying to make a 3D game! Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm not sure about it. It just feels so far from what I know and love about fnaf. I honestly feel like the game is more like a movie than a game and is so guided that there isn't much freedom. It feels jumbled and repetitive. You would think that since the game was delayed so much that it would be a spectacular game but sadly it wasn't. I really think that the more delayed the game got the more that it was hyped up and the game just didn't reach what it was hyped up to in my opinion. Maybe I am just being closed-minded but I don't think this screams a fnaf game, it honestly gives more of a fan-made game and the storyline made no sense. Like who is Gregory? Where are his parents? Why Gregory? Why is Freddy the nice animatronic that can't be taken over and controlled? Vanny was supposed to be our main antagonist and we barely see any of her as a threat. Also the whole crazy Will Afton scenes. Why is Funtime Freddy down there and who is Controlling him? I wish we had more of a story to the whole Will Afton// ScrapTrap scenes because it goes down in flames and then what? We don't get much of the story of How Afton got there, why he is there, what his plans continue to be. Its storyline has so many holes that it isn't really even enjoyable to keep up with anymore. I've loved all of the fnaf games except this one. It is just a huge miss in my book. Expand

    To explain why Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach (henceforth referred to as SB) gets a 0 out of 10, it needs to first be explained whatTo explain why Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach (henceforth referred to as SB) gets a 0 out of 10, it needs to first be explained what the subjective criteria is for scoring.

    The first and most arguably notable point is 'fan appeal'. It is undoubtedly obvious that SB was created as the Five Night's at Freddy's 'Endgame' equivalent, a game that would be chock-full of references and callbacks to earlier points in the franchise. However, despite delivering on this point in a surface-level manner, none of the game's callbacks are created in a manner cohesive enough to provide that distinct sense of nostalgic "I've seen that before!" recollection in players. For that reason, it scores a 0 in this category.

    The second point is gameplay. Strip away all iconography, strip away your Fazbears and your Aftons and your litany of easily recognizable names, and what is SB at its core, from a mechanical perspective? It is a 'horror' game that is poorly made and transparent to the point that any of its highly choreographed and overly-cinematic scares will not land without the absolute highest form of suspension of disbelief, bordering on delusion. Moreover the stealth mechanics are uninspired and uninteresting. Further, the gimmick of teaming up with Glamrock Freddy himself to maneuver through the Pizzaplex not only provides an arbitrary way to effectively render oneself invulnerable for large portions of the game, but also thematically distances the already too-cleanly-designed animatronics from being anything remotely close to scary. For these reasons, this category scores a 0.

    The next area where SB can be scored is its technical optimization and overall playability. In every aspect, SB fails here. No matter what system this game is played on, be it a modest or incredibly high-end PC, or any one of the consoles on which it was also released, the experience will be fundamentally buggy, run poorly, or outright refuse to run at all. The game is also filled to bursting with texture and load-in errors that will demolish immersion in an instant; there is nothing less engrossing than opening a door to a new area and seeing nothing more than a black void.. only for the area you've entered to suddenly and jarringly load in all at once in front of you, oftentimes in bits and pieces that further kick around the scraps of immersion you might have once had. For these reasons, this category gets a RESOUNDING 0.

    Lastly, the story. The story of SB and Five Night's at Freddy's as a whole is a yarn that has been weaved over the course of many years and many games, and to imply that it could be explained within the next 2,300 characters is folly of biblical proportions. Instead, SB will be graded in broad strokes on how it actually CONTINUES the story of Five Night's at Freddy's.

    Put simply, it does not.

    Chock-full of glaring inconsistencies, missing story elements, and departure from any cohesive familiarity with prior entries in the series beyond vague and superficial references, SB fails to arouse even the slightest interest in the game's own individual story, let alone the wider tapestry of Five Night's at Freddy's in all. The endings are also a travesty in their own right, the majority of them save for the 'True' ending consisting of hackneyed, uninteresting, downright wacky comic book panels that almost seem to actively resent and reject any given player's interest in the story's conclusion. For these reasons, SB gets a categorical 0.

    In conclusion, Five Night's at Freddy's Security Breach is.. not technically the worst game I have ever played. It isn't the least mechanically sound, its story isn't the most categorically absurd (though in many ways it ranks highly in that regard), and its themes (or staunch lack thereof besides, I guess, that murdering children isn't a good thing to do) aren't the least cohesive.

    But when you compare the game delivered to anxiously-waiting fans to the game new developers Steel Wool promised (and frankly dangled obnoxiously in front of) them, the differences between the two take the shape of a disappointing failure filled to bursting with lies, broken promises, and promotional material that was not and will likely never be delivered upon.

    SB is not the absolute worst at what it does in any respect, nor could that be conceivably argued. But when stacked up against everything it was meant to be, everything it should have been, and everything people were promised it was going to be after delays on top of delays on top of delays, it is - in every respect - a categorical and irrefutable failure.

    For that reason, Five Night's at Freddy's: Security Breach gets a 0.
