More about Five Nights at Freddy's
The press gave it 78; the people who bought it give it 94 percent. A 16-point gap in the buyer's favour.
Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 22 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written August 2024 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,604 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 284 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 1 of the 22 refunded reviewers was past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 91 percent of the 21,673 reviews written there were positive, against 94 percent overall, and those are 41 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (unlock); the score docks it lightly for that.
Finishing takes 2.2 hours; clearing it takes 5, which is 2.2 times the campaign.
It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 2.2 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

What players say
The start of one of the most innovative and influential horror games ever made, and this first game started it perfectly. The atmosphere is the scariest in the series, and each animatronic is iconic in their own way. The gameplay is a little dated, but you can't deny it's still a genuine terror to sit through.
