    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!

    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.

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.    … Expand

    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

    Five Nights at Freddy's, developed by Scott Cawthon, has become a sensation in the gaming world, known for its intense jump scares and chilling atmosphere. This indie horror game has amassed a dedicated following and has become a staple in the genre. While it undeniably offers a nerve-wracking experience that keeps players on the edge of their seats, there are some areas where the gameFive Nights at Freddy's, developed by Scott Cawthon, has become a sensation in the gaming world, known for its intense jump scares and chilling atmosphere. This indie horror game has amassed a dedicated following and has become a staple in the genre. While it undeniably offers a nerve-wracking experience that keeps players on the edge of their seats, there are some areas where the game falls short, preventing it from reaching its full potential. In this review, we'll delve into the game's strengths, weaknesses, and overall impact on the horror gaming landscape.

    One of the standout features of Five Nights at Freddy's is its ability to create an atmosphere of dread and tension. From the moment you enter the dimly lit security office, the game establishes a sense of claustrophobia and impending doom. The flickering lights, the ominous ambience, and the unsettling animatronic characters lurking in the shadows all contribute to an eerie and foreboding environment. The tension builds up gradually as you desperately try to survive the night, anxiously monitoring the animatronics' movements through the security cameras.

    The gameplay mechanics in Five Nights at Freddy's are relatively straightforward but effective. As a security guard, your primary objective is to survive five consecutive nights while keeping an eye on the animatronics, which come to life during the night. You must carefully manage your limited resources, such as power for lights and doors, to ward off the animatronics and avoid a gruesome fate. Balancing your actions and conserving power becomes crucial as each night progresses, adding a layer of strategy to the gameplay.

    However, some players may find the repetitive nature of the gameplay frustrating. Each night follows a similar pattern, requiring you to monitor the cameras and react accordingly to survive until 6 AM. While the initial nights offer a thrilling experience filled with tension and jump scares, the gameplay loop can become monotonous and predictable over time. More varied challenges or additional gameplay elements could have provided a refreshing break from the repetition and added depth to the overall experience.

    Five Nights at Freddy's effectively utilizes its visual and audio design to enhance the horror experience. The animatronic characters, with their uncanny appearances and unsettling movements, create a feeling of unease and discomfort. The low-resolution graphics add to the game's charm, reminiscent of classic horror titles. The audio design plays a significant role in building tension, with ambient sounds and the animatronics' distinct noises contributing to the overall atmosphere. The creaking footsteps and the menacing laughter of Freddy Fazbear himself are sure to send shivers down your spine.

    While Five Nights at Freddy's introduces an intriguing and mysterious plot, the game's storytelling falls short in terms of execution and integration. The narrative is mainly conveyed through newspaper clippings, phone messages, and hidden easter eggs, which can be challenging to discover without external sources. This reliance on external material for a complete understanding of the story creates a disjointed experience within the game itself. While the fragmented storytelling approach may appeal to some players who enjoy piecing together the lore, a more coherent narrative integration within the game would have improved the overall engagement and immersion.

    Despite its flaws, Five Nights at Freddy's has had a significant impact on the horror gaming landscape. It has captivated players with its intense jump scares, unique premise, and iconic animatronic characters. The game's success has spawned numerous sequels, spin-offs, and a dedicated fan base, solidifying its status as a genre-defining title. Five Nights at Freddy's has inspired a wave of similar horror games, further emphasizing its influence and cultural significance.

    Five Nights at Freddy's delivers a tense and iconic horror experience that has left a lasting mark on the gaming industry. Its ability to create an atmosphere of dread and its memorable jump scares have garnered it a dedicated following. However, the game falls short in terms of gameplay variety, interactivity, and narrative integration. While the repetitive gameplay loop and reliance on external material may deter some players, those who appreciate the game's strengths and iconic status will find a chilling and intense adventure in Five Nights at Freddy's.    … Expand

    Aclaro que Scoot al crear el primer FNAF no pensaba en hacer el mejor gameplay ni hacer que fuera el mejor FNAF de todos, es por eso que a pesar de que le de algunas calificaciones bajas, al ser el primer juego le perdono porque a medida fue evolucionando su gameplay en las siguntes entregas

    Terror 10/10

    Su jugabilidad es repetitiva y monotona pero llamativa. Las noche duran 8minutos, en mi opinion las noches deberian durar entre 5-6 minutos, las camras no sirve de tanto ya que solo necsitas mirar 1 o 2 para pasarte el juego, siendolas camaras una mecanica que llamaba la atencion.
    Su ambientaciones muy buena. Escuchar a foxy cantar, chica haciendo ruido en la cocina yla musica de juegos que se escucha veces. Y con las camaras puedes apreciar bien y imaginarte bien como se ve la pizzeria.
    Este juego no aporta mucho para su historia a diferencia de FNAF 2 y 3, no digo que no revele misterios como ¿Quién mato al chico del teléfono? pero no podrás entender los sucesos de este juego si no juegas las otras entregas.
    Y por ultimo y los mas importante el TERROR. El terror en este juego es lo mas increíble que he visto.
    Sin ninguna gota de sangre este juego gracias a sus enemigos adorables a primera vista, pero que se ven tétricos al querer matarte. En ves de huir , dejaras que vengan hacia ti, y el tener terror claustrofóbico que no se ve en muchos juegos, alucinaciones. El terror es excelente y podría considerarse como unos de los juegos mas terroríficos de la saga.
    Conclusion: Five Nigth at Freddys es un juego con gameplay sencillo para introducirte ala saga, un terror innovador, buena ambientacion, y uno de los juegos de terror mejor reconocido.

    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.
