3/5 ★ – Zimtiki's review of Five Nights at Freddy's 3.

That’s right, Scott Cawthon made a THIRD FNAF game less than a year after the FIRST ENTRY. The amount of art this guy created and implemented into working games in this short time span is actually insane. In this game, there’s a HUGE time jump to the year 2023, where you’re working in a “haunted house” attraction that pays homage to the Fazbear’s horrific legacy of children being murdered and animatronics creeping people the fuck out. This haunted house, called “Fazbear Frights,” contains tons of artifacts from these now 40 year old restaurants, but has none of the animatronics. That is, until night 2, when an animatronic we’ve never seen before escapes and relentlessly perused you. This time though, you’re playing as someone who’s clearly been working here for a while, someone who’s been physically scarred and looks “perfect” for the part according to the guy on the phone. Your reason for being here? You’re looking for something.. or someone. And that someone is found when the new animatronic enters the picture, or should I say, CORPSE. The beast that peruses you, Springtrap, is the corpse of William Afton, the child murderer that seems to be in some kind of horrific, rotting, immortal state. Phantom animatronics will attack you as well, but Springtrap is the only one that can kill you. Using the camera and audio system, you must lure Springtrap to different rooms and keep him the fuck away from you, keep an eye on those vents! You also have to make sure the security system doesn’t malfunction, or you’ll be exposed to gasses that will increase the appearance of phantom animatronics, making it all the more difficult to focus on Springtrap. This game is significantly easier than the previous games. My strategy was to just keep Springtrap in a corner and continually lure him there, keeping my vent system locked as well. If you do it right, you can keep the MF in one spot the entire game. Each night also contains a short mini game that explains what happened to William Afton, and how he got stuck in this suit. It’s fun and it’s riveting, but it’s also pretty damn easy and pretty dang short. So yeah, it’s still good, but it can be beaten in less than two hours if you know what you’re doing.
