Critic Reviews for Five Nights at Freddy's
Simple premise with lots of jump scares. Five Nights at Freddy's may be a one-trick pony, but that trick is quite the treat.
As flawed as its gameplay may be, this game will be talked about for years to come, and anyone who can stomach it should try it, if only to join in the discussion.
Overall Five Nights at Freddy’s is a joy to play, easy to pick up, full of tension and yes it will have you jumping out of your skin, not just at a jumpscare, but at the severe frustration of nearly making it through, but I promise you, it will keep you coming back for more.
Fans taking a break from the Resident Evils, Silent Hills, and Dead Spaces of the world will find Five Nights at Freddy's refreshing in its simplicity, yet also challenging to survive unarmed through some eerie evenings.
Despite these flaws Five Nights at Freddy's is a good game, If a game like Amnesia can be compared to a full English breakfast this makes five nights more like a bacon and egg sandwich, not as full filling but good while it lasts. It works well as a survival horror and for only £3.99 on steam I would recommend it to fans of the genre but not to the night watchman at Pizza Hut.
