3.5/5 ★ – Zimtiki's review of Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location.
Once again, we return to the world of FNAF and into the shoes of William Afton’s son, Michael. After the disappearance of his father (he got SPRINGLOCKED in the Golden Bonnie suit), his snooping leads him to a hidden laboratory underneath his childhood home, and brings him across 4 new animatronics that raise a TON of new questions: those being Funtime Freddy, Funtime Foxy, Ballora, and Circus Baby. Each night, Michael travels down to this terrifying lair to help Circus Baby, who pleads with Michael that she needs his help, and for some reason, there’s something so familiar about her that he feels he NEEDS to help. She sounds.. and acts… like his long lost little sister….
The gameplay in this one is the most different of the games so far, and has more moving parts as well. You’ll need to navigate the darkness of this creepy lab and repair animatronics, defend yourself against terrifying, mini HUMAN looking animatronics, and even hide inside a spring lock suit and keep it from ripping you to shreds. This game also has interesting unlockables, including an entire hidden mode (that can only be unlocked through the fake ending) that mimics the gameplay of the first game in the series, but sees you defending yourself from the horrifying amalgamation of the new animatronics called Ennard (yeah, spoiler alert, all of the new animatronics are the same character, all controlled by a sentient bunch of wires that refers to itself as The Ennard, a leftover experiment of William Afton while he was experimenting with REMNANT, a piece of freshly tortured and killed human souls that have the power of possession, and will do fucking ANYTHING to escape its confinement. Yeah, the lore here is fucking wack.)
This game is a very fun and very spooky entry in the series, and though its linear and somewhat easy (aside from the hidden night), it’s a good time and the story is much more fleshed out and requires less speculation than the others, but still leaves plenty of interpretation up to the players. Good game. Some bugs (on the PlayStation version) but still, GG.
