    Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted is a great collection of FNaF titles for the series veteran looking for Switch versions, or for those searching out the additional bonus content, but the issues that come with the VR conversion, as well as the fact that the base games as a whole can easily lead to boredom and frustration for those not fully invested in the timeline and lore mean this is a niche collection for a niche audience.

    It doesn’t really matter whether Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted is good or not — all that matters is whether the shocks it offers can startle the player. By that metric, it’s a passable success in docked mode. I won’t say the game isn’t scary, but I will say that it doesn’t have much to offer past that.

    At its best, Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted delivers the kind of jump scares and edge-of-your-seat tension the series is known for. But, minus a VR headset, it’s not a great way to experience Five Nights at Freddy’s, even factoring in the bonus games and the additional lore it imparts. Given that you can get the first three Five Nights games on Nintendo Switch in their original, superior incarnations, it’s hard to recommend Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted to anyone but FNAF completionists.

    I LOVE LOVE FNAF and all of its lore. That being said, if you have played the previous games, this one is a bit repetitive. Also, I would NOTI LOVE LOVE FNAF and all of its lore. That being said, if you have played the previous games, this one is a bit repetitive. Also, I would NOT recommend playing this game on Switch. The controls are very wonky, and a lot of games are difficult to control. This is probably best played in VR, but I'm too chicken to attempt that.… Full Review »

    Help Wanted is for me the best FNAF game because it brings together the first 3 FNAF games in remastered mode and sections related to FNAF 4Help Wanted is for me the best FNAF game because it brings together the first 3 FNAF games in remastered mode and sections related to FNAF 4 and Sister Location.
    With lots of rewards to get, a new super creepy animatronic and lots of different game modes, Help Wanted is the most complete which in my opinion gives the best FNAF.    … Full Review »

    Pretty forgetable characters and frustrating levels. Security breach better be better.
