Five Nights at Freddy's: Help Wanted Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
In short, Five Nights at Freddy’s VR: Help Wanted is the real deal. It’s a genuine celebration of everything that has come before and a fresh lens for long-time fans. Even if you’ve never touched a Five Nights game before in your life, you’ll have a lot to latch onto. I’m as surprised as anyone!
Five Nights at Freddy’s VR: Help Wanted is a great introduction to the franchise, packaging a number of levels from various games in the series. Though the first three games are the strongest, some of the other levels are fun in their own right. Less fun is wrestling with the controls, particularly since a giant demonic chicken is going to scream in your face if you mess up. The scares are there, but the controls could use some additional polish.
Five Nights at Freddy's: Help Wanted is a great collection of FNaF titles for the series veteran looking for Switch versions, or for those searching out the additional bonus content, but the issues that come with the VR conversion, as well as the fact that the base games as a whole can easily lead to boredom and frustration for those not fully invested in the timeline and lore mean this is a niche collection for a niche audience.
At its best, Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted delivers the kind of jump scares and edge-of-your-seat tension the series is known for. But, minus a VR headset, it’s not a great way to experience Five Nights at Freddy’s, even factoring in the bonus games and the additional lore it imparts. Given that you can get the first three Five Nights games on Nintendo Switch in their original, superior incarnations, it’s hard to recommend Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted to anyone but FNAF completionists.
Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted succeeds in creating a world that fits the theme it is shooting for, it just unfortunately fails to do much with it. Mired by poor controls, and frustrating mechanics, the only way I can see anyone getting enjoyment out of this would be possibly as a quick party experience with a few friends.
Five Nights' goes Dim on the Switch
Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted is touted as the ultimate collection of Five Nights at Freddy’s (FNAF) content. The greatest hits of scares! This
