Five Nights at Freddy's: Review of safety breaches

Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach is a 2021 survival horror computer game created by Steel Wool Studios as well as released by Cottages. It is the 8th primary installment in the 5 Nights at Freddy's series and also the thirteenth installation in general, happening after the occasions of 5 Nights at Freddy's: Assist Wanted. The game was released on December 16, 2021, for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and also PlayStation 5, while ports for various other systems will be launched at later dates. Unlike various other installments in the franchise, the game occurs in a shopping mall, while other installments usually take place in a pizzeria and just features one night as opposed to 5. The game obtained mixed to favorable reviews upon release, getting appreciation for its graphics, the 'free-roam' gameplay not seen before in the franchise business, the plot, Ellen Goff's singing efficiency as Glam rock Freddy, the characterization of the animatronics, the musical arrangement, as well as its horror aspects, yet has since been criticized for many pests as well as glitches that have actually affected gamer performance as well as gameplay, and also specific aspects of the tale.

The emblematic franchise Five Nights at Freddy's is back with his tenth — yes, tenth — main game with Security Breach. The franchise has evolved since the original in 2014, and yet, the heart of what makes this emblematic frankness still remains. At first glance, the franchise Five Nights at Freddy's (FNaF) may seem like a simplistic horror game with a difficult gameplay and scary jumps — but for the fans who took the time to become familiar with the bottom frame and the Substantial traditions, FNaF is anything but easy. This last entry, Security Breach, brings a whole series of new gameplay features and a new incredible look, while maintaining many features that fans expect. It is the FNaF that we hoped, which is a great news given that the creator of the FNaF, Scott Cartoon, seems to have retired definitively.

In FNaF Security Breach, players will embody Gregory, a young boy who found himself locked in Freddy Fanfare's mega pineapple. A security agent, Vanessa, and an assortment of animatronics are hiding in the corridors, looking for Gregory. Fortunately, you will have Freddy Fanfare to help you in your escape while providing support, including the possibility of walking temporarily inside and control it during certain parts of the game. To be honest, the story was a Little a puzzle at the beginning — Why does Gregory not go right now in Vanessa to help him find his parents? However, as the game progresses, we discover dark truths on the mega pineapple. It would not be a match of the FNaF without some frightening twists.

Security Breach is the first FNaF game in free roaming, and as such, I found it much more enjoyable and accessible than previous games that often seemed very restrictive. As Gregory, you can run, squat, hide and use some objects like a flashlight to navigate the pineapple. Freddy Fanfare will provide you with the goals to help you escape, and you will need to avoid all other animatronics while moving from a point A to a point B. Gregory has a special Baywatch with many integrated features such as A map, objective menu, and access to cameras (in the immediate vicinity). You will need to plan your route with care and run quickly, because if you are caught by one of the animatronics, the game is over, and you will be returned to your previous backup point. This can be particularly frustrating if you get caught after finishing a particularly difficult part.

FNaF Security Breach is filled with bugs, problems and bad design choices. Some problems have been a huge advantage for me, as the problem that prevented an animation from moving, which allowed me to freely finish the task of restoring the current in the daycare. But most often, the problems were a huge problem. There was a boss fight that forced us to press a switch — but we just could not do it. However, after restarting the backup file, we could then press the switch. The animation often appeared from nowhere — likely to create the illusion of being constantly in the pursuit, but in reality, it was only a cheap ploy to artificially inflate the tension. And do not launch me on the Fazer-Blast laser tags section — an optional area that offers players a practical animatronic deterrent. But despite all my efforts, I could not finish it — it was just too difficult.

Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach - Before You Buy

Overall, it is by far the most accessible FNaF game ever created. Although there are frustrating moments — sometimes due to problems or bad game design, persistent players can possibly make their way up to the end. FNaF Security Breach offers several purposes — in fact, at the end of the game, you have the choice to finish the game or stay and take up more challenges. However, if you choose to stay, you can not save the game anymore, which makes the backup experience frustrating. Although the game provides tips through messages and goals, it is often difficult to know what to do next, so you are obliged to look for the solution. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but I would like there to be a kind of waypoint system. The backup points are scattered throughout the game and some important moments offer some kind of control points system, but for the most part, if you are caught by an animation, you return to your previous backup. I wish there is an easier mode available that offers more backup / checkpoints, a system of waypoints and easier ways to escape the animation — it would make the game a Little more accessible for my youngest son who is a big fan of FNaF.

Visually, the game is a great improvement compared to previous entries. Attention to detail at a time in human characters and animatronics is exceptional. Pizzaplex offers many varying environments to explore, including massive atria, booty shops, restaurant areas and much more. There is a good chance that you discover new areas during future games — the pineapple is big enough. Tight attention to detail was given to this game and FNaF fans will love all the tributes at the previous FNaF games. You will find w sinks to all previous games, including their locations and animatronics. Another detail that I like is the way the four main animations change and degrade during the game. You will also meet the biggest animation in the history of the FNaF in a terrifying but impressive moment. Security Breach offers fantastic dubbing for all animatronics, many of which will tighten you while they are looking for you. The music is excellent and becomes more tense when you are continued, and calms down when the coast is unobstructed. The jump alarms are back in FNaF Security Breach, but they seem a little more tamed than the previous FNaF games. In addition, fortunately, we have the opportunity to adjust the audio of the fear of the jump — which is usually the most terrifying part. If you are not a fan of jump alarms, you can lower the sound of the jump alarm to a minimum.

Despite some frustrating moments and boring problems, I really enjoyed FNaF Security Breach. He evolves the Gameplay of the FNaF by making it free, while maintaining a large part of what made the previous games so exciting. Security Breach does a great job to perpetuate the inheritance of the FNaF while paying tribute to the nine previous FNaF games. You can say that the developers really put everything they could in this game. There are even fun mini-games including a very good mini golf. However, this game is not without defects. The game has already received a patch and others are in progress. I hope other patches will reduce the number of problems — and perhaps even mitigate certain sections too difficult and add some necessary additional control points. The visuals are exceptional, and the sound is brilliant. This is by far the best game FNaF and, hopefully, the direction they choose to create future FNaF games.
