    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.

    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).… Expand

    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.

    Masterpiece. Best new gen horror, simple but recolutionary, with the most complicated and interesting plot I've ever seen. This is a must, and of course, if you play this, you have to go on with the other chapters.

    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. 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.

    un juego muy bueno para empezar con unos gráficos buenos y la mejor ambientación de toda la saga una historia muy bien ocultada pero que se puede resolver hilando cosas y una jugabilidad muy simple y algo repetitiva pero tensa y divertida en cierto punto un buen juego

    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 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.    … Expand

    Five Nights at Freddy's is one of the scariest and best horror games out there. This also applies to the franchise itself, but what the first game has that the others don't (aside from Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator and Sister Location) is its atmosphere.

It has disturbing hallucinations that are unexpected, and you can easily panic, well, y'know, power outages, and its outstanding jumpscares. This game is also pretty challenging in its own, unique way.

    The goal of this game is to get through the night. You do this five times, well technically seven due to night 6 and custom night, and overtime the animatronics become more hostile. You have to check cameras to see where the animatronics are, but you shouldn't use it too much, or else the power will decrease faster. You keep the animatronics away when they are right at your security door by closing it until they leave.

    This game is a very unique one, but it has limited replayability, and is pretty simple for a horror game. It can also get boring quite easily, but despite that, it's worth the five bucks. So if possible, definitely pick this up if you're into horror games, and maybe pick up FNaF 2 (the most challenging imo) and FNaF: SL (Sister Location) as well, as they are one of the best in the franchise. Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator is also a fun game, and it's F2P as well, so you can try it right now.    … Expand

    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.
