Five Nights at Freddy's: Into the Pit Reviews
Five Nights at Freddy's: Into the Pit shines as a love letter to a franchise that continues to expand by delivering a fresh take on adventure horror but is limited a bit by some design choices.
Into the Pit was a top-notched horror experience. The game lets the high detailed cinematics do the talking and isn’t reliant on jump scares or loud noises for the fear factor. The creepiness of the Abomination itself had me saying “Naaah” out loud. The overall gameplay is simple, although I did find on the fifth night some button prompts wouldn’t work now and then. As I previously mentioned, I haven’t read the book of the same name. I did, however, look into if this game follows the story to a T, and from what I could find there are some differences. Having previously had no interest in checking out the books, playing Into the Pit has made me want to read them, just so I can compare the stories. In the end, what surprised me the most was how great this small three hour game was. I really hope that Mega Cat Studios adapts the other short stories from the books for more visual splendour, creepiness, and scares.
Five Nights at Freddy’s, the Into the Pit game is the most approachable game in the franchise, with no prior knowledge of the murderous robots needed to enjoy this tense time-traveling tale.
