    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. this game is by far the best indie game i have ever played (and the scariest one as well)

    lets get into the good stuff shall we
    -the horror in the this game is a nice change most big horror games are non-stop gore fests all about showing us the most guts in the most brutal way, but then we have game like this we can not move only close two doors and have to deal with a power supply which really makes this game intense, i think if this game was set up any other way it would not be that scary (for example slendermen) but in this game when you see one of the animals out side your door all you can door is close the door on the side and hope that it goes away soon you cant just pull out an m16 and shoot your way out of this issue

    -game-play its so simple yet so hard at the same time. when you start out the game fells really easy i mean it is just check the lights and see if anyone is outside (if one is close door) and check cameras to see where everybody is at sounds easy right? well for night 1 and 2 its that simple, night 3 comes freddy starts to move you hear him laugh you don't know how he attacks night 4 comes then wow it takes a few tries but fun

    -story to my surprise there is a really good story here to be found not going to spoil it but its something your going to want to check out and in the end be ready for mind blown

    This is the most innovative and terrifying video games I have EVER played. It takes the usual horror game tropes and throws them out the window. If you are used to games like Slender, Amnesia, or SCP: Containment Breach, you WILL be lost and confused.

    This is the most innovative and terrifying video games I have EVER played. It takes the usual horror game tropes and throws them out the window. If you are used to games like Slender, Amnesia, or SCP: Containment Breach, you WILL be lost and confused.
    In a lot of horror games, they try to make you feel alone and confused by presenting you with a puzzle and making you solve it without showing it to you directly, or they try and do so through the story. In this game it is so different from everything else, it takes time to get used to the game mechanics, which you don't have. You may end up floundering around a lot not realizing what does what, and you may do something wrong without knowing why. This causes panic and confusion for the player and it's not reliant on anything in-game, but rather the player's mistakes. In games like SCP: CB, which are procedurally generated, a lot of the confusion relies on the fact that you just get dropped in and are expected to go to these certain places in this certain order when you are never told any of this. In this game, they cryptically explain to you how to play, you still don't know what is happening and why, especially once you get further in.
    A lot of horror games also try to create a sense of dread. A feeling that keeps you from wanting to continue down the next corridor, even though you don't want to. This is portrayed very well in a game called Dreadhalls for the Oculus Rift. Dreadhalls comes in as a close second to this one for me as "The Scariest Game Ever", and that unbelievable feeling of dread is the cause. But Dreadhalls gives off the same vibe a lot of other horror games do, just amped-up tenfold. The biggest reason I think that this game is better, is because it gives off a completely different feeling.
    You get an IMMENSE felling of paranoia while playing. You have no control over your character or his surroundings other than the doors, door lights, and the security cameras. All you can do is literally wait to die. No matter how much you check the cameras, they can, and will keep moving towards you and you can't do anything about them other than closing the doors. You can only do "so much", and not everything you do actually works, so you have to try everything to find out what works while trying to do what works. You know that you will die, you just don't know when.]
    If I were to reccomend this game, I would say that nobody could play it by themselves. They would need a motive or a friend to beat it. So buy it for $60 if you can. GIVES THEM U'R MAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEZ

    This game here, is a little black diamond of a horror game.The fact that you are defenseless against 8 "bugged" animatronic robots, that your only chance is wasting power wich, thanks to the owner of the pizzeria not wanting to waste money, is very limited, you not being able to move from your security room, etc...makes it what it is.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you get paranoid easily, avoid this game and everything about it. In this game you can't move at all and the only thing keeping you alive is the cameras, lights, and doors. The worst/best part of this game is you have to watch these terrifying animatronics and constantly check your doors. But sometimes that doesn't even matter like on day 3. If you are extremely unlucky a golden Freddy (who lacks an endoskeleton and eyes) will appear in the security room and you have a tiny amount of time to look back at your tablet or else his face will jump you and crash the game. The ai is well designed as each one has certain behaviours like foxy if you monitor him to much or to little he will rush down the corridor and try to attack you. You also have to be careful how much you use your cameras or other equipment because your employer is an evil ba****d and gives you a limited amount of power which drains over the 9 minutes of each night. Freddy is the main threat in this game. During the first two days he does jack except sometimes stare at the camera evilly. But on ghe third day he activates. It's incredibly hard to see him in the dark and often uses the bunny and the chicken to distract you. However Freddy has a downfall as it takes 15 seconds to kill you. Freddy will cause paranoia and nightmares because of how sneaky he is. Also when you run out of power he will stand at the left door with his back lit eyes for about 30 seconds before he kills you. There is no ambient music. The only sounds are the camera static, the light humming, footsteps and occasionally pans if (I think it's Freddy you need to research that) one of the animatronics walk through the kitchen. The game is different to other horrors because of the tension. It never lets you get comfortable in your surroundings and you feel helpless because you cant move or fight. It's sort of papers, please in the way of each day something new is going to kill you. Initially the story is delivered by a dead pan voice who tells you what he thinks happened but if you look carefully at the papers you can find the true story beneath it all. Lastly lets talk about how the game is made. This game is 3d but it has been made in a 2d only engine. They achieved 3d by warping the textures and using gif animations for movement. If that's not a case of making do with what you have then what is? Recommendations for five nights at Freddy's: do not buy if you easily get nightmares/traumatised/paranoid because you won't sleep very well at all. If you think you are a hard core mother trucker then buy it! Just don't expect to sleep after wards. Expand

    This game had me on the edge of my seat. I can't even get past night 2. Although this seems very unrealistic (really? a guy would work at this place for only $120 a week?) but the concept is very good and the result is a terrifying game to help reboot the horror genre.

    Horror games usually use things like resource management and atmospheric noise to generate an extremely stressful environment for the player, but rarely can a game produce such a profound level of panic as Five Nights at Freddy’s. It masterfully puts the player in a horrific spot of waiting, just waiting for the inevitable jump-scare.
    That being said, there is little else to the game

    This is probably one of my favorite indie horror games of all time. I never really cared for amnesia but this game is certainly worth playing. I can't understand those people who rate this game a zero, because it's functional and most of all it's genuinely terrifying.

    When you combine a psychological horror game with Chuck E. Cheese, this is the result, and it couldn't be better. This is possibly the most unique horror game I have ever played. Five Nights at Freddy's manages to frighten you without all the gore and violence of other games in the horror genre.

I saw some screenshots of this game before and was wonder why so many people give high rates for this awkward faces of toys and what it is all about. I got a pack of popcorn and started the game thinking that will beat this mechanic toys easily. However, once, I realised that one of the animatronic robots disappeared, my shivering hand began to click on all cameras in hope to understand what was going on and where was this ugly bear. I failed the first night almost falling from the chair when the creepy face apperared on my screen.
    I now fully agree with all positive marks for this game.

    okay well that was night one, i actually never got past that one honestly.but theres something about the story i didnt tell you about.the reason why you are taking the night shift is because the last guy before you took the day shift and when freddy fazbears pizza opened there were 5 kids that went missing oh and one more thing listen for little children laughing and that should mean that golden freddy is probably in your office. please buy the game and see for yourself how fun this is.

It's game-play is simple to grasp, but hard to really master it unless you play it for a long time (Ahem, Markiplier). You are a night guard in an office, and you can check the cameras, check the blind spots next to the doors, or just just the doors so that some animatronic gets in and stuffs you in a suit full of metal. But, all of these things decrease you power, and when you power is at 0%, you are dead, UNLESS you make it to 6 AM. In fact, to survive a night, you'll need to manage your power AND the animatronics until it's 6. Now, be careful, because there is this one camera that you have to check moderately, or else a pirate fox -again- stuffs you in a suit filled with metal. The visuals are very dirty and dark, which just adds an atmosphere. Same with the sound. No gore or blood needed. Scott used the Uncanny Valley perfectly and also mixed it with nostalgia of Chuck E. Cheese's. It's story is told throughout the series very subtly, but carefully (except for a few loopholes, but still). It doesn't have much music, but the game didn't need it. The price is awesome, at 4.99 US dollars. THAT'S UNDER NINE DOOOOOLLAAAARS!!! Final Statement: It's better than Beiber, I mean, Bonnie. Expand

    The game itself is probably just an above average horror game, but what makes FNaF special is the lore behind it. The game has so many mysteries and very little info is given from the troll master Scott Cawthon, which allows us all to create theories and think what we want. FNaF is definitely one of the best. The first one remains my favorite game, even up to now.

    I know it's a very late review, but Five Night's at Freddy's is undoubtedly a new age for the horror genre. In 2014-2015, this game and series owned the horror genre. Sadly, none of its sequels are as good as the original, and the series got worse over time.

    I first played the game in 2014 as a pre-teen and loved it. My friend and I stayed up all night on the phone, discussing lore, theories, animatronics, and many other things concerning the game. My friend isn't interested in the series anymore, and I myself am drifting away, but I figured I might as well lay it, and the other games to rest.

    This game is unique in that it, instead of blood and gore, uses tension and jump-scares. This may sound like a bad idea, but really, it's not. The game was a breath of fresh air for the horror genre, which had been struggling for years, and sparked a huge (yet somewhat destructive and perverted) fanbase. Even after the series "died" as many say after 3 (or 4, depends on your perspective) new games came out in the form of 5 and 6, in 2016 and 2017, labeled as "Sister Location" and a "Pizzaria Simulator".

    Now, talking about the actual game, it's a wonderful and immersive experience that even today, might just be able to scare the living daylights out of you. The jump-scares are quite startling, original, and fully-animated. Even though they keep killing you, you'll eventually fall in love with the animatronic cast, consisting of Freddy Fazbear, Bonnie the Bunny, Chica the Chicken, Foxy the Pirate Fox, and the mysterious Golden Freddy.

    Now, that being said, the game does have a few small downsides. First of all, it's pretty short, and you can clear the main game in around 45 minutes, assuming you don't die. There IS some extra content, with a "Night 6" that is very hard, and a "Night 7" that lets you customize the animatronics A.I individually, making them as difficult as you please, but even that gets boring pretty fast. There is not a lot of replay value, except for finding easter eggs, which there are plenty of.

    However, the innovative gameplay is more than enough to justify this. It's very unique, not just in the horror genre, but in any other game too.

    In short, you are in your office all game, and cannot move as the dangerous animatronics slowly approach you. Thankfully, you have big metal doors beside you that can close at will, as well as a camera system that lets you view the entire restaurant and the animatronics too! Yay!

    Oh wait...you have limited power, and the doors and cameras use power, and if you run out...the doors open and you REALLY can't do anything...uh-oh.

    As a whole, Five Night's at Freddy's is a fresh take on the horror genre, and more than worth the $5.00 price tag if you like horror games! I highly recommend it to anyone, especially horror enthusiasts!

    Um jogo fantástico, que seria apenas um jogo indie qualquer, mas acabou se tornando um dos mais mais famosos até então. Trouxe uma história enigmática, que deixou os jogadores muito confusos para saber o que se passava diante daquela pizzaria, além do jogo trazer uma ambientação sombria e misteriosa.

    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.

    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.

    The game itself is scary, especially when you are wearing headphones. However, when you discovered the pattern, it will become easy. The game is jumpscare-reliability, and it's making me on the edge of my seat just by managing the power system and mainly the mechanics of this game. Yes, the mechanics. This game's mechanics is what fascinate me, it is the reason why you feel scared.

    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.

While the game itself LOOKS like "another typical indie horror game", it's really not. The mechanics are very simple and unique in that you don't even move, and you only have 3 controls: Check the monitors, close the left and/or right door, and use the left and/or right door lights The 4 animatronics all have their own unique AI and will come after you in different ways. While the gameplay is very light, the true strength of the game and why it's rapidly growing in popularity is the hidden story and horror elements thrown in. These animatronics are incredibly creepy and will disturb and unnerve you to no end, even if you're just watching someone else play it. The cheap jumpscare visuals/screamers aside, 5N@F PERFECTLY plays off of the player's anxieties, OCD, and paranoia. If you don't have any of those mental conditions or aren't even slightly creeped out by animatronics, then you will not be scared nor enjoy this game. The game also has an interesting hidden story that barely any of which is told through playing the game; you actually have to look into it (in-game, or just by cheating and going to the wiki). I'd give it a perfect 10/10 if it didn't have jumpscares/the scream could be toned down just a tiny bit, because those really are the cheap shots of the horror genre (just like a fart noise is the cheap shot of comedy), but it's still an INCREDIBLY well-made game that will scare the **** out of you and keep you paranoid, panicking, and OCD the whole time.

And I am not even generally a fan of horror games. 5N@F leaves a chilling lasting impression and is a satisfying game experience. The mechanics are simple and easy to learn, yet they get progressively more difficult to control effectively, making this game all about strategy. For the entire game you feel an extreme sense of vulnerability as you have to leave yourself helpless and open to attack for much of the game in order to conserve resources and survive the night. In that alone, it excels where the survival horror genre often falters. The graphics and animation are simple, but very effectively spooky. The ambient sound not only sets an eerie atmosphere, it can be utilized by the player to help guide your choices in the game by alerting you to unseen activities your aggressors are carrying out.

    I don't have any complaint with the jump scares as others do. They are the reason you are trying so hard not to fail. If they weren't there it wouldn't be as tense and you wouldn't dread failing so badly. I like how the tension keeps high because of them, despite that I hate jump scares. They're good incentive in this game and cause you to really get paranoid and have to fight your own fear to keep your wits and use proper strategy.

    My only reason for not giving this game a perfect 10 score is that the difficulty level seemed to spike for me quite badly at one point. I replayed one particular night several more times than any other night before succeeding simply because that night was one that required you to learn a new strategy to outwit your attackers. Generally, other nights did not seem to require much learning of new strategy and were only harder due to increased activity. The game became frustrating at times and it seemed there were nights when due to the characters' randomized activities you simply were forced to use up your resources and could not win. The time spent playing a level only to be fed with that outcome was quite frustrating. This game treads the fine line between challenging and frustrating, which is okay for its genre, I think, but it is a dangerous line to tread, nonetheless.

    I'd have liked to see more moments later in the game where the strategy needed to change more. Here's hoping for a sequel!

    Fine Nights at Freddy's is an interesting take on the horror genre. I like how it mixes horror and strategy. . There are five animatronics who are going to kill you. There is also some more story which you can see in the newspapers. While I do think some youtubers are overreacting it still is a scary game with plenty of jump scares to have.

    But furries aside, I would give this game 9/10.
    Why 9/10?
    I give that because the game is 5 bucks.
    Bad argument you say?
    Well the whole game is about 1-2 hours long (Excluding 4/20 mode)
    But it still amazing even if it's not that long. It just makes you come back for more... or not.
    I think the game is worth buying.
    Also... if you we're scared of Chuck 'E Cheese when you were little... Have fun ;3

    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.

    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.
