I can even call myself an oldfag. Parts 1, 2 and 4 of Freddy were not so bad in their time, the joy of creation showed us them in 3D, and help wanted at BP allowed me to open a brick factory, because something hasn’t scared me so much for a long time (I would even say , one of the most terrible phenomena in the gaming industry).
A gloomy and depressing atmosphere of inevitability that scary animatronics will come to you from somewhere unknown and put them on their endoskeleton.
Immediately it turned out to be a mess of everything. I would call this part “Outlast for the little ones”. Because the essence is the same, but in a different wrapper.
What was immediately disappointing was the atmosphere, as if it weren’t there for horror. Motley bright colors, as if made for 8-12 year old children, are completely inappropriate for this genre. The animatronics are not scary at all, they are actually very cute. Roxy has already spread all over fury sites, Freddy looks like a super hero, Monty the crocodile looks like a cartoon character from the Sonic games, and the security guard Vanessa is just so cute. They don't look like antagonists; you want to squeeze their cheeks.
The AI in the game is killed to zero, opponents notice the GG from 10,000 km away, sometimes they don’t see it right away, which is why many scenes become absurd, where a planned, supposedly scary scene becomes very funny because , like Roxy or Chica in 2nd cannot find the target. The very first battle with the boss was just crazy, like a dead Roxy trying to hit me, and you, like an idiot, flick a flashlight at her so that she finally pays attention to you and breaks the passage.
The locations are rainbow, there is light everywhere, there are no gloomy rooms. And because of all this, it’s impossible to call this game a horror game at all.
There is no clear plot, no events.
And also these bloggers who boosted this game and added fuel to the fire by raising a weak game to the level of an AAA project. Without mentioning to anyone a bunch of bugs. From which many cannot even complete the game. Either the animatronic will hang, or they will attack you from the floor, or the FPS will drop unexpectedly from 80 to 10.
In general, the game is so-so, if it weren’t for PR, no one would be talking about it at all.
A mediocre pseudo-horror game that is often unplayable due to bugs.
