Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location Review - PEEKABOO! Lexatom
Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location was released to the public on October 7, 2016 on Steam. It is the fifth installment in the FNAF franchise and many people who hated the series before admit that it's a step in the right direction for the franchise. What do I think of it? Is it really better than the rest of the games currently out now? Let's find out, shall we?
Graphics - 9The graphics in Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location happen to be some of the best graphics in the series. Everything is much cleaner and smoother than they were in the previous installment, and it looks like some hard work really went into making the faceplates to each animatronic. The faceplates each individually move in a way that is hard for me to express in words, but whenever they do move, they creep me out, just like they are trying to do.
Sound - 10Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location contains my favorite song in the franchise, and it's called Demolition Inevitable. Like most of the games in the series, listening is crucial to beating the game. There are various tasks you must do during each night, and heavy listening is required to be able to get through some of these tasks.
Addictiveness - 8I'm going to be honest, the main gameplay isn't THAT addicting to me. It's fun at first, but once you finish the game and unlocked 3 stars on the title screen, the main game gets kind of boring. Luckily, Scott fixed that by adding Custom Night mode on December 3, 2016 as free DLC. It adds a lot more gameplay and it's a pretty fun experience in general, and I'm glad he decided to add to the game.
Story - 10The Five Nights at Freddy's series is most famous for its intricate plot and deep lore and the secrets within. Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location is no exception to this, as it contains some of the best new lore in the series, as well as answers many questions about the franchise that we previously had. Of course, with new lore comes new questions.
Depth - 7The Five Nights at Freddy's games aren't very known for having a lot of depth in the games. However, Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location seems to have the most depth out of them all, if not then the close to it, thanks to the extra Custom Night DLC. Without the Custom Night DLC, Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location would be a much shorter game than we would have wanted.
Difficulty - 8Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location is one of the hardest, if not the hardest game in the series so far. The game is fairly easy until the end of Night 2, which is when the difficulty spikes. And then, the difficulty spikes AGAIN at Night 4. In fact, Night 4 was so hard, that Scott made an
update for the game to make Night 4 a tad bit easier, and even then it was still hard to beat. Custom Night is EVEN HARDER. However, that's to be expected, since it's basically the 20 mode for this game.
Overall - 9.1I wouldn't say Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location is my favorite game in the series, but it's definitely up there. It's the first game in the series to allow full free-roam, and it executes it fairly well, in my opinion. Whether you like the series or not, I definitely recommend this game to you. Who knows? It may just change your mind on how the franchise is.
