    I got scared so much when I first played this game, The animatronics, characters and storyline is just impressively good. Their jumpscares are insanely realistic, the gameplay is very challenging and fun. It's been; 9 years now and this game is still amazing.

    Un muy buen juego que le dió inovación a su época, en vez de poner sangre a lo loco como el juego "amnesia" este solo pone sustos a lo loco, el ambiente es GOD. Lo único malo que voy a resaltar es algunos jumpscares como el de Foxy y Golden Freddy. El de Foxy parece que te diga "Hola Bro :D" y el jumpscare de Golden Freddy es solo una imagen con sonido, y nada más. Pero el juego es excelente.

    The game brings me memories to the good old days of Youtube when watching Markiplier play it on his videos. Good times that I will never forget and I am thankful to Scott Cawthon for creating a masterpiece franchise that still lives up to today!

    Ranking 4 Animatronics favorit anak anak:
    1. Freddy (Mulai beraksi di Night 4 dan di Night 5 dia adalah yg paling merepotkan) 2. Foxy (pandangan teralihkan dari CCTV walaupun cuma sebentar, pasti langsung otw ngedatengin buat jumpscare) 3. Bonnie (dia bakal muncul kalo kita cuma fokus ke CCTV tempat nya Foxy, itupun cuma Night 1-3 doang dia bener-bener bikin repot) 4. Chica (jarang bikin jumpscare paling cuma mejeng depan pintu).

    I've played FNaF right after FNaF 2. Apart from it's legendary status, I was expecting some form of a decline in quality because of it's older age. Eventually, I was very pleasantly surprised.

    I've played FNaF right after FNaF 2. Apart from it's legendary status, I was expecting some form of a decline in quality because of it's older age. Eventually, I was very pleasantly surprised.

    - Gameplay: 7/10
    What makes this gameplay more engaging than FNaF 2s? My theory is that, because of the power system, which is actually way more challenging now, the game has to be played with caution. You can't just spam endless patterns because you will simply run out of power before you reach 6AM. overall, it's simple interface together with it's simple mouse controls make this game very pleasant to play. FNaF requires fast reflexes together with intelligent gameplay. I have to admit that the game however is not very difficult for the first 3-4 nights. I don't know if this is a result of the countless hours gameplay that I watched before playing it, or because of the difficulty of the game itself. The option of an extra night + 20/20/20/20 makes it much more fun in my opinion

    - Atmosphere: 9/10
    FNaF is the definition of chilling. The fact that the kitchen cam is completely blacked-out (which was done to give the player some chance for imagination) is a small but fun detail. It's a dark and grimy office, in which you cannot move. This results in even more of a scaring factor, because it's in most peoples instinct to run away from things that threaten them. The fact that they now have to now face their fears makes it very confronting.

    - Jump-scares: 7/10
    The jump-scares are overall way better than in FNaF 2s. They are more unpredictable and they have more animation. They do lose their scare after a while, but together with it's atmosphere, it still makes you want to avoid they at all cost.

    - Sounddesign: 7/10
    The sounddesign is pretty simple but effective. Hearing the animatronics walk, the kitchen noise, the slight noise of the fan, and the overall jump-scare sounds are well made, but they once again lose their fright after a little while

    - Lore: 6/10
    The lore in FNaF is pretty simple in comparison to the following games. we hear about future events, like the bite of '87 which makes for some cool teasers. Also part of the lore being written on the wall is a nice addition.

    - Innovation: 8/10
    Scott created a whole series from this game as an independent game developer. This game haas influenced a lot of other games after it, of which it's still one of the best.

    - Replay-ability: 9/10
    You can play this game for hours and hours. With the addition of the extra night and the 20/20/20/20 mode, its fun but it will also last you a little while before completely finishing the game. Even if you do finish it, it can always be replayed later because of it's RNG-factor

    - Price: 9/10
    This game is such a steal for only €3,99!

    CONCLUSION: The first FNAF is equal to FNAF 2 but at the same time totally different. The gameplay is enjoyable, even tho it's pretty simplistic. This horror game is a base for many others to build upon. If you have some spare money, I would really encourage you to buy this.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a classic horror game, though the game mechanics and graphics are basic it does not take away from the essence of this game. Being in the at office with ambient noise going off in the background is a truly terrifying experience. The first few nights are terrifying as you fight to survive the possessed robots after you, the last few nights though begin to get more frustrating. By that point you are numb to all the horrors of the game and more often than not you are just going to get frustrated not scared. This doesn't take away from the game though, the lore of this game is also immaculate. It connects well with the rest of the games in the franchise. If you are looking for an intriguing and terrifying game then Five Nights At Freddy's is for you. Expand

My review of Five Night At Freddy's, I played many thousands of horror games like slenderman, slendytubbies, Dead by Daylight, and they are not scary but this game I saw many, many youtubers and they got scared and it is a new genre in its time and also now instead of running from the monster, so sitting down to not die with a flashlight a camera and doors was very revolutionary.

    Игра реально СТРАШНАЯ. Причем в отличие от большинства современных игр, для достижения эффекта в нее необязательно играть в темноте, одному, и в наушниках. Даже если вы играете днем, а вокруг вас тусовка друзей, вы будете регулярно вскрикивать и отпрыгивать от монитора и умолять время бежать быстрее:) Отсутствие выхода в меню и паузы реально мотивирует.

    Five Nights at Freddy's is a very unique horror game. Its many secrets and mysteries paired with dreadful gameplay make it an interesting experience. After playing through the series I can say with confidence that this one is still one of the more scarier games in the franchise. The atmosphere and sound design is great but the gameplay is where things start to take a turn.

    Bütün FNAF oyunlarına tekrar başladım, kesinlikle söyleyebilirim ki, oyun ilk oyun olmasından dolayı diğer fnaf oyunlarına göre çok daha basit yapılı. Özellik az, karakter az, gizem az, korku az. Ama bana yaşattığı acayip güzel nostalji hissinden dolayı bu oyuna yüksek vereceğim. Objektif olarak bakacak olursak 10 üzerinden 7-8 lik bir oyun. Öneririm.

I don't really think this game is a horror game, it's just jump scares. This game is more suspense than horror. The lore of this game has more horror than the game itself. I feel like most people like this game just because popular Youtubers play it, but have never played themselves. I've spent around 3 hours playing this game and I think it's pretty good if you want a quick scare. They're are definitely better games out there, but this one isn't too shabby. It's just the perfect amount of scary to make you startled for a bit, but you feel normal and have forgotten about the scariness of it a few minutes later. I play this game when I'm bored. The difficulty of it increases quickly, but if you can't get passed the 2nd or 3rd night on your 1st try, you probably aren't good at this game. Most of these reviews complain about the difficulty, but it's not that difficult until night 4. It's your average "horror" game. Expand

    FNAF IS AN EXTREMELY AWESOME GAME, It’s a new horror genre created, I love the story and I love this game And how confusing it is. It’s challenging and the graphics are how they are supposed to be :)

    FNAF brings a new horror concept to light that I wouldn't have assumed would work so well for when it came out. Instead of being forced to confront or sneak by your enemies, you are forced to just sit in a tiny office space and wait for your enemies to come to you creating a constant feeling of paranoia.

    The first entry to this franchise is probably the best one setting the foundation

    This game is just awesome. The first opus contains the 4 original animatronics: Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, Foxy.
    It marked the beginning of the great history of FNAF.

    I used to love Five Nights at Freddy's a little too much when I was around 5-6 years younger, so when I saw that the first four games were available on Xbox Game Pass, I decided to give the series a try.

The first installment in the series is honestly still about as good as I remember. I also remembered that I am awful with horror games, so I was in for a ride. The game does a stellar job with its setting, ambience, and use of the player's "fear of the unknown". The jumpscares still do get me, but me remembering how Freddy and Foxy work (for the most part at least), I was able to keep them away for all 6 of the nights. I definitely may have gotten lucky, but I still felt as if it was odd that the main animatronic, Freddy, was never actually a threat to me. However, I must say that I still love playing this game and I plan to finish playing 2-4 as well (maybe not 4 though that may be too much for me, and I was never too big of a fan of its style of gameplay).

    For its time, this game is one of the scariest games of all time. The story is complex and well written, the presentation is flat, but that what makes it so great for the game's spirit. This is one of the greatest horror games of all time, and I say that you MUST play it. I cannot recommend this enough.

    A game that can easily represent something that started so simple that turned into a massively successful franchise. Sure, Five Nights at Freddy's has barely any features and has quite a few bugs, but look at what it's started.

    Um jogo fantástico, que seria apenas um jogo indie qualquer, mas acabou se tornando um dos mais mais famosos até então.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Scott Cawthon brings us this classic installment full of tension and terror, but is this game good?
    Five Nights at Freddy´s is an independent horror game that uses tension as the main element, at first glance it seems like a childish game that is not scary, but the tension and the environment that contrasts with the friendly appearance of the animatronics generates a lot Terror, the fear of lighting the hallways and seeing a robot or seeing someone on the cameras near us is very terrifying. FNaF is a game with simple but functional mechanics, an impressive tension generation capacity, the excellent use of sounds and an innocent environment, it is a very good game, it makes mistakes, it is not perfect, it is too simple and short (but intense ), it has small errors and must be polished a lot.
    The end is simple we are fired by odor and manipulation of animatronics which confirms that we are Michael Afton the son of the Purple Man.

    The game that started it all. At the time, it was something truly original. Scott did really hit the jackpot with this. Looking back at it, it aged meh..
    The jumpscares don't really affect me anymore. Of course, it's only human to jump after hearing a loud and sudden noise, but the atmosphere and the sounds favored the fear factor, to then culminate in an animatronic bunny screaming at

    The jumpscares don't really affect me anymore. Of course, it's only human to jump after hearing a loud and sudden noise, but the atmosphere and the sounds favored the fear factor, to then culminate in an animatronic bunny screaming at your face. After playing this over and over again, you get used to it. But i have to say, out of all the games, the animatronic models are actually really creepy. Graphics are really realistic sometimes, and lighting is great, although the game is limited by the engine. Due to this, it lacks an options menu and many other features like resolution scaling (which could be an issue) and volume configuration. I want to remind some people that this game was made by a single developer. For the effort he put into this game, he truly deserves the positive response he got with this. This game also made him have a comeback, as Chipper and sons didn't do so well...
    Yes, it is short, but for the price it has, i guess it's okay.

    Five Nights at Freddy’s presents an interesting concept to the player, and tries a different approach to the genre other than the usual asylum, graveyard and ghost town. Even the gameplay has something to say, but after the first minutes, once understood the mechanism, is hard to find a real interest in continuing playing.

    No nightmare can match the sheer terror of looking into the eyes of a plush monster that has come to tear you apart. A new kind of horror is in town. [Issue#245]

    Five Nights at Freddy's, even without both the third dimension and high production values in general, is really scary. It is a little horror game which will scare you with both its original idea and its implementation, proving there may be always a new approach in any genre.
