    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!

    Minha opinião:

    Gráficos: 8.5/10 (FNaF sempre foi bonito) Gameplay: 8/10 (È realmente boa mas eu não gosto tanto quanto a gameplay de outros FNaFs) Lore: 9.5/10 (È FNaF 1, é óbvio que seria bom) Easter Egg: 10/10 ( Esse jogo tem muitos easter eggs, eu não vou dar spoilers mas a metade das câmeras tem um easter egg) Nota Final: 8.5/10 Essa é apenas a minha opinião. Eu dou 8.5 e não

    An original horror game. Atmosphere, sounds and the basic mechanics are fitted well in this game. Also best game in the series.

    Another indie game legend.The producer of the game, Scott Cawthon, tried to do something cute and kid-friendly in all his games, but they always looked spooky.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Game untuk anak-anak
    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).

    It is not very complex or difficult, but very fun and even if it is not super scary, you can get a good scare sometimes.

    Legendary game! It's like everyone played it, and I was still a child and the sight of Freddy scared me.
    But finally I got my hands on this masterpiece. The game may not be scary these days, but the ants still are.

    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.

    It is for me one of the best horror games the mechanics are very simple but as each game progresses it gives you the feeling that you must become faster this is not a jumpscares simulator

    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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 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.
    Mi critica sobre Five Night At Freddy's,Yo jugué muchos per miles de juegos de terror como slenderman,slendytubbies,Dead by Daylight,y no dan miedo pero este juego yo vi a muchos pero muchos youtubers y se asutaban y es un genero nuevo en su tiempo y tambien ahora en vez de correr del mounstro,asi que sentarse para no morir con una linterna una camara y puertas fue muy revolucionario.

    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.
