The WORST FNAF Game

It's time to admit that not all of the FNAF games were good, and no: I'm not talking about Security Breach.

It's been so long since most of us have played these animatronic-filled games, it's easy to get nostalgic when we look we look back on them. It's recently become popular to hate on Sister Location, and yes - that game is... very flawed. However, I don't think it's the worst OG FNAF game; not by a long shot. That honor is reserved for another:

Five Nights at Freddy's 2's music box RUINS that game for me. Not just me; one could make an argument that FNAF Plus owes it's existence to FNAF 2's music box mechanic being really bad. I think people remember the Game Theory episodes, the dawn of the Purple Guy (and thus, eventually Afton) storylines, the Markiplier videos, and the general expansion of the FNAF lore but... I don't think that people really remember what PLAYING FNAF 2 was really like.

*Which FNAF game do you think is the best? The worst?* Do you agree with me on FNAF 2, or do you think there's a worse OG FNAF game. To be clear, we're talking 1-6 here; no saying _'Security Breach'_ or _'FNAF World'_ or something (though I personally think _FNAF World_ is dope and can't see why anyone would consider it the worst).

Despite its flaws, Five Nights at Freddy's 2 still has a special place in our hearts. Let's take a moment to appreciate the good memories we have of this game and the impact it has had on the FNAF series!

FNaF 2 is based on performing fast reactions and fast clicking and moving your mouse. It's made to basically make you create a strategy to survive the terrors.

While FNaF 2’s gameplay isn’t the best, I will say it did show that Scott was at least trying to boost up the “panic” theming due to how much stuff they throw at you in that game. Which i always liked, honestly. And personally i have too much nostalgia with FNaF 2 to really call it the worst

What FNaF game do i consider the worst tho?

*Oh i dunno, how about the one where the company that made it literally abandoned the game and what’s left is a dead shell of what it used to be… and is a mobile AR game*

[TheRealSuperGogeta]

Does everyone remember when people thought “Pink Guy” and Purple Guy were Totally different characters from each other just because the colours were off

[notfakepixxel]

I don’t think that fnaf 2 is the worst fnaf game, but it’s certainly not the best, fnaf 4 gets the title of best fnaf game in my opinion

I actually think the music box mechanic falls into the box of things Scott Cawthon tried to do, but that weren't fleshed out enough. Looking at how future gameplay was handled, it could have been more interesting if the music box was in the office and the noise from winding up the music box drew animatronics to you faster, and the more wound up it is, the louder this lure is. Or, alternatively, if the music box is the only reason to look at a certain camera, separate that camera from everything else and take away the player's ability to hear what's going on in the office with them while they're winding it. The music box is its own incentive; penalizing over-reliance could be something that contributes to scaring your audience. Idk. I feel like a lot of FNAF games needed more time in the works to be their best selves, including installments I enjoyed more.

i honestly like sister location because its creepy even the part in the security room hearing elizabeth talk to micheal was sad because theyre two siblings who will only speak to eachother two times

FNaF 2 gave me major anxiety like when multiple animatronics were attacking at once! I'll never forget those panicking moments. It was a large stretch from FNaF 1 as far as the number if enemies go and the new systems such as checking the vents or Puppet's music box. Not everyone will agree with me but FNaF 2 is definitely not going to be forgotten!

[alexfrickr]

Fnaf 2 is the best. I like the music box and how dumbly tense it makes the nights. Stressful situations really get me going :)

[The_Endless_Now]

I've always considered FNaF 2 as a bland jumpscare fest that was "wide as an ocean, deep as a puddle." Not that FNaF 1 was particularly deep, but at least it felt better to play.



*FNaF 1 animatronics and how to combat them*
Bonnie: left door
Chica: right door
Foxy: camera, left door
Freddy: camera, right door, almost never leaves, "the hardest animatronic"

*conclusion: Every animatronic feels pretty unique, all things considered*



*FNaF 2 animatronics and how to combat them*
T. Freddy: mask
W. Freddy: mask
T. Bonnie: mask
W. Bonnie: mask
T. Chica: mask
W. Chica: mask
Mangle: mask
Balloon Boy: mask
W. Foxy: flashlight
Poopet: m u s i c b o x

*conclusion: Every animatronic feels the same (because they are, except the two that aren't)*

I would argue fnaf 3 is probably the most lack luster of the original 3 fnaf games

[Sentinel-Nine]

King was treading on dangerous ground for a moment there, those first 5 seconds honestly made my blood pressure rise. 😅

[coletussing]

sister location is the worst game. because its not a game, its a cinematic cutscene experience where you are just hearing people talk

[kaelanimacoes]

I actually really like the chaotic, fast paced gameplay of FNaF 2 a lot

[Sme_Indvidual]

Personally i disagree with people who say SL is the worst fnaf game. The new mechanics it brought made it stand out the most, the problem was people wanted to look through cameras, close doors and flash lights, which it does include as well. Imo SL should be classified as one of the best fnaf games.

[SkullheadMC]

Legends say there is no bad FNAF game made by Scott Cawthon.

[Rudand]

Babe wake up! Theft king made another video randomly criticizing a fnaf game, while using no original footage to make it!

[Bendrer]

As a guy who's played and finished FNAF 2 RECENTLY I gotta say, I love it so much, the stress of it all makes my mind rush and forces me to make quick decisions that could end my run. I believe that the music box is just another thing to think about and to risk not winding, just like foxy or the mask animatronics. The rush and the quick thinking reminds me of something like Doom Eternal, to balance what comes next like "Ok should I keep the cams up and wined up the box or should I pull down the cams and mask the Withereds? and when I'm done should I flash foxy or pull cams up again?" The fast thinking and decision making, make me love FNAF 2 and the box is a key part of it, if the box wasn't there in it's current state I feel that FNAF 2 wouldn't be the same and too easy. Though I'm not hating in fact I really like your content, I and I'm glade we as a community can have conversations like this to explain why someone does or doesn't like a curtain game. But I wish you the best.

This entire video is basically i hate the music box, i dont agree that a single mechanic is enough to turn it into the worse game
