While it was certainly a gem of its time. Five Nights at Freddy’s is a cut short, arcadey jumpscare-fest that is better than most horror experiences out there.

It initially can be unsettling to those who haven’t had the Living Tombstone songs blasted into their ears as a child. But, as the nights go on, the gameplay loop keeps going, the less scary and more stressful the game becomes. Although it doesn’t destroy the thrill, it certainly takes away the horror that makes earlier gameplays worth the scare.

The story isn’t really necessary here and the game knows it. It’s only present in the phone calls and a few Easter eggs. But hey, it’s a small indie game from 2014, what else did you expect?

Though it’s impact is undeniable, this nowhere near a great game.
