More about Five Nights at Freddy's 2

Critics scored it 62. Players sit 32 points higher at 94 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.

This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 16 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written November 2023 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 691 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 93 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 92 percent of the 8,318 reviews written there were positive, against 94 percent overall, and those are 35 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (unlock); the score docks it lightly for that.

3.1 hours to finish it, 12 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 3.7 times the campaign.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 3.1 hours it is short enough to finish on one.

What players say

FNAF 2 is probably the weakest out of the original four because of the repetitive gameplay and bugs. For example, the overuse of the mask mechanic, the music box, and for some reason, the weird hallway sound effect playing before and after an animatronic has entered/left. Overall, I do enjoy this game for what it introduced, but I think the game could've been better.

I really like this game a lot. Mechanically, it is the most satisfying of all the early fnaf games minus maybe SL Custom Night and of course UCN. 11 animatronics was a big step up from the original 4 (5 I guess, golden freddy can kill you after all) and I think it was done in a pretty decent way. The game does not feel like it overloads you with stuff to accomplish, with most animatronics behaving similarly to...

I love the fnaf series, but foxy in this one is really a pain in the ass, but still it's a pretty nice game, its my favourite five nights at freddy's game because it has so many animatronics and you really need to focus and everything is rng, unlike fnaf 1 you just do one tactic and you can get the 20/20/20/20 night in the first or second try. The price it's pretty big for a game this old but these never go on sale...
