The main attraction is Freddy Fazbear, of course; and his couple offriends. They are animatronic robots, programmed to please the crowds. The robots' behavior has become somewhat unpredictable at night however, and it was much cheaper to hire you as a security guard than to find a repairman. From your small office you must watch the security cameras carefully. You have a very limited amount of electricity that you're allowed to use per night (corporate budget cuts, you know). That means when you run out of power for the night- no more security doors and no more lights! If something isn't right- namely if Freddybear or his friends aren't in their proper places, you must find them on the monitors and protect yourself if needed.… Expand

    Five Nights at Freddy's is horror done right. No slasher techniques, no gore necessary.

    Entertaining, engaging and enveloping; once Five Nights at Freddy’s clasps its paws around you, it will be hard to let go.

    A simple design that's devilishly clever at messing with you.

    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.

    Nice concept but the sense of horror goes away really quickly. Action is presented in a repetitive way and the resource management doesn't work as well as it could have. Nonetheless the player will still have a few scares.

    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.

    La verdad despues de tantos años lo sigo disfrutando como la primera vez, podra tener sus problemas como lo de la pantalla o en android ser distinto (hasta hace poco que colocaron su remaster y se ve como en pc o mejor!) La verdad un juegaso, ver los animatronicos originales, escuchar al hombre del teléfono (para mi un protagonista la verdad) lo hermoso de la noche personalizada, los Easter egg una joyita del ámbito indie.

    I've play a ton of horror games and most of the time, they resort to cheap jump-scares and having a bad atmosphere. But when I saw this game,I've play a ton of horror games and most of the time, they resort to cheap jump-scares and having a bad atmosphere. But when I saw this game, I was stunned. Unlike most horror games, you are fixed in a tiny office, looking through cameras to see where the animatronic robots are. What's makes this even more creepy is that the story takes place in a kids pizza parlor where animatronic robots are based on character's from the pizza parlor. This game will scare you and leave you scared for the rest of the night. In short. BUY THIS GAME!… Expand

The scares do die down after the first few nights, and it can slide to more of the annoying side. The game is WAY overhyped, in my opinion. It isn't scariest-game-of-all-time, but it does satisfy at some points. The location even seems a bit generic.

    The Positives: The gameplay is something that isn't seen much. You can't move. You only have three actions: shut the doors, turn on the lights, and check the camera. It's blended together to create a well placed im-gonna-die feeling. The game may sound simple, and it is, but it also presents a challenge that I oddly haven't really experienced in other games. The game is difficult, and if you screw up on later nights just a little, then you can officially say you're dead. The story, also generic, presents itself in a way that makes it vague and makes you want to piece it all together. Once you do, there is room for even more thoughts and speculation.

    Other comments: No. This game isn't 100% scary. The animatronics and the setting won't scare you. It may make you feel uncomfortable, but that's even only for a little bit. The scares come from the fact that you can't move, and you can only do a few functions. That kicks in survival mode for people. You don't want to get caught, and that's where the scares are. You won't be able to fight back. But again, the scares can be short lived.

    Is the game worth $5? Yes. This isn't a must-have game, but if you have the cash, I would recommend looking at this game. It's really fun, but just know that this game will only last for a few hours.

    Then why does it have a 7? Well, it's painfully generic with the story. I looked at it and even found myself saying "Really?" It's an entertaining game, and this is a great start to a series.    … Expand

    It is boring and mediocre. You stare at cameras and close doors while waiting for jump scares. It’s not even scary it’s a joke.
