Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator

Review: I used to not like this game that much. I felt it was a weird mix of fun tycoon gameplay with a lesser and more dull version of the classic fnaf gameplay inbetween. That has changed. I still feel like it's not the most tonally consistent of the franchise, but I've come to really love the "night guard" gameplay. It focuses pretty much obly on sound, and the most effective jumpscares end up being ones you've put there in order to make more money in the tycoon gameplay. It's stressfull, but uniquely enough, only as hard as you make it. A very good game and a much better conclusion to William Afton than the new games.

Strategy: STOP USING AUDIO LURE! This might be effective when you're dealing with 1-2 animatronics, but if you, like myself, have decided to play with all 4 of the animatronics in your vents, then this will probably get you killed. For starters, don't accept all of the sponsorships. After a while you will be making more than enough money to not have to take them. Personally I took the first three, and that was enough for me. Just buy the right things for your pizzeria and the money will start to flow in. During the "nights", keep the silent ventilation on, and focus only on the tasks. The animatronics won't camp your vents, they will kind of rythmically make their way towards your office, and then wander off, as long as you listen to what side they are on and stare them down when they enter. With the silent ventilation on, you don't need to keep the main ventilation on anywhere near as much. Instead, try to keep the temperature around 80 degrees (the temperature basically stay still if your computer is off and you use silent ventilation). When the temperature inevitably rises to about 100, you want to find a good moment to turn your main ventilation on. I recommend doing this during a "stare-down" since you are stopping the animatronic from entering your vent, just be sure to not have it on for too long since you might not hear if someone is entering from the other side. It seems to me that the animatronics don't enter both vents at the same time, but enters one vent if the other is clear. I don't know that for 100%, but that's how it's been going for me.

And that's all. This strategy might need some patience, but it certainly made the game easier for me.

The game in general probably had about 8/10 gameplay, but my god. That lore drop at the end (I won't spoil it) has to be one of the best endings I've ever seen in ANY horror game.

Gameplay: 10/10 Love the mix of simulator and survival. This is a super fun game that you can come back and have a good time on.

Graphics: 5/10 Nothing special really. Some of the mini games are 16-bit which is a little lazy.

Music: 6/10 Very basic, but I like it. It's a big change from ambience in the old games.

Characters: 8/10 The 4 main animations are actually quite scary, specifically Scrap Baby. They are great designs that get your heart racing whenever someone pops up on screen.

Story: 9/10 There is so much lore in this game, it's awesome. The true ending cutscene is the best thing ever. So many secrets to discover, giving hours of playtime.

Overall: 8/10 This is my personal favorite fnaf game in the series, fun to both play and watch. It's a good mix of challenging and fun. Thanks for reading!

I mean this is the best FNaF ever created. It takes all the good things from previous games and just transforms them into something beatiful. It's scary, fun, not repetitive, and doesn't have an OPTIMAL STRATEGY!!!

I'm sorry to interrupt you, Elizabeth, if you still even remember that name, But I'm afraid you've been misinformed. You are not here to receive a gift, nor have you been called here by the individual you assume, although, you have indeed been called. You have all been called here, into a labyrinth of sounds and smells, misdirection and misfortune. A labyrinth with no exit, a maze with no prize. You don't even realize that you are trapped. Your lust for blood has driven you in endless circles, chasing the cries of children in some unseen chamber, always seeming so near, yet somehow out of reach, but you will never find them. None of you will. This is where your story ends. And to you, my brave volunteer, who somehow found this job listing not intended for you, although there was a way out planned for you, I have a feeling that's not what you want. I have a feeling that you are right where you want to be. I am remaining as well. I am nearby. This place will not be remembered, and the memory of everything that started this can finally begin to fade away. As the agony of every tragedy should. And to you monsters trapped in the corridors, be still and give up your spirits. They don't belong to you. For most of you, I believe there is peace and perhaps more waiting for you after the smoke clears. Although, for one of you, the darkest pit of Hell has opened to swallow you whole, so don't keep the devil waiting, old friend. My daughter, if you can hear me, I knew you would return as well. It's in your nature to protect the innocent. I'm sorry that on that day, the day you were shut out and left to die, no one was there to lift you up into their arms the way you lifted others into yours, and then, what became of you. I should have known you wouldn't be content to disappear, not my daughter. I couldn't save you then, so let me save you now. It's time to rest - for you, and for those you have carried in your arms. This ends for all of us. End communication.
