    This game almost managed to make me go to the bathroom 5 times. Its perfect for anyone who wants scares. Only complains are that it had pretty wacky pop up jumpscares. Rest of the pop up/non pop up ones were good.

    It's a fabulous game. I've always wanted to experience this game in VR and within a hour of playing. I can finally say that this game is perfect. Scott Cawthon made a great choice on having Steel Wool Studios create this fabulous game.

    This game pretty much nails everything that FNaF was known for: Hidden lore, funny character dialogue, killer animatronics, and lots of jump-scares. This game is terrifying, and you should definitely play it if you can and enjoyed the rest of the franchise. It's a scary journey through remakes of the first 3 games, and some new games and a fun spin on the fourth.

This game is terrifying, and you should definitely play it if you can and enjoyed the rest of the franchise. It's a scary journey through remakes of the first 3 games, and some new games and a fun spin on the fourth. With a total of 7 different types of FNaF the scares will last for a while, and there will be a lot of them. With secret tapes hidden all over the place, cute little prizes for clearing the night, and funny quips from the voice that tells you everything, the game is full of horror, laughs, and death. The only gripe is that the controls can be a little finicky at times, like when you swear to god you hit that door button and all of a sudden look at that, Bonnie just killed you when you only had 1 hour left. All-In-All, I would highly recommend this game if you enjoy the Horror genre, or just have a friend you want to scare the hell out of. And remember, this is a simulated environment, and you are not in any real danger. (Fazbear Entertainment not responsible for any real danger.)… Expand

    La experiencia definitiva de De FNaF en VR.
    Muy bueno, el juego base nunca me llamo la atención más allá del 1 pero esta versión VR me ha encantado.

    This is a step in the right direction for VR Horror. This is an amazing game that gets everything right about the franchise and horror. Even if some of the scares do get a bit old, there's so much to unpack in the game and everything just feels right.

The vr experience really does a good job making the player almost pee their pants, and henceforth is my favorite game out of the whole Five night's at Freddy's series. The graphics and scariness is just perfect. This game at several points adds up to the lore and make theorists even more confused. Great job!!!… Expand

    Trash series, trash game. I will never understand how these games can scare anyone, it’s just a bunch of cheap jump scares. Don’t waste your time or money. There are plenty of real horror games out there if you are into horror.

Out of all of the games out there, it actually gave me goosebumps and chills throughout and it made my heart pump the most out of all of them. The only downside is, the story is complete crap and I never payed much attention to it (aside from the rest of the games where people actually were digging into the lore of the game (excluding fnaf world)). But anyway, aside from the simple and uninteresting story ya got there, you have a very nice game and an interesting experience. It is worth a play.… Expand

    Just really fun. An immersive horror experience that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The thing that improves it the most from the original three, however, is that the animatronics actually move. For example, you can see them walk by your door in FNAF 1.

The scariest FNAF game so far and I really wanna finish it because I think the designs are really well-done considering the fact that an indie company called "Steel Wool Studios" created the models and there just beginning there career in the video game industry (at least that's what I heard). The models are my favorite especially the FNAF 4 models! they look so cool and the animatronics even sneak inside of your room. This just makes childhood nightmares about creatures in your closet a semi-reality. I almost beat the FNAF 4 section of the game but was too scared to play FNAF 1 and I also beat FNAF 2 FNAF 3 and half of FNAF 4 and played some of the other mini-games. Overall I had a lot of fun with this game and recommend it to anybody with a VR Headset and even without a VR Headset!… Expand

    While it may be difficult to play for very long before your heart rate spikes, it delivers the most consistent and unnerving jumps of any VR horror game out there, held back only by its repetition and lack of variety — both of which are still worth overlooking.
