What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
It has never been cheaper than $1.99. That was October 2017. It has been discounted 9 times in the 10 years tracked here, typically at 75 percent off, with about 26 weeks between sales.
On value it sits in the top 2 percent of its genre. It is better reviewed than 95 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Five Nights at Freddy's 4 ($7.99, scores 79) beats it on value, while it beats Five Nights at Freddy's 2 ($7.99, scores 70).
62 from critics against 90 percent from players, and the player number comes from people who own the game.
Players rate it 90 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 82 percent. Something recent has soured the room. 15 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2022 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 3,221 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 799 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 88 percent of the 3,233 reviews written there were positive, against 90 percent overall, and those are 28 percent of everything written about it.
The main story runs 3 hours. Doing everything runs 13, 4.2 times as long.

What players say
Scott really improved himself while making this game, its such a turning point in the series. I had no problems with this game except some nights were crazy hard.
I think this game is kinda over hated. I will admit the story mode is not replayable at all and some of the characters aren't used that much, but I really liked the custom night for this game. It felt like the first real custom night in the series that each character had an interesting and unique mechanic, and I really enjoyed that. Also, Ennard is in this game, and he is my favorite FNAF character, so bonus points...
I remember how different this one was from the rest of the classics when it released, such an interesting game and so visually appealing, not to mention the amazing sound design. Not as fun to replay as FNAF 1, 2, 3 and 4, but has a charm that makes me want to play it again anyways, even if I already know everything and how to win every night. One day I will get the cupcakes minigame right, it's one thing I have on...

Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location scores 73/100 on the BANG Score (worth it). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/506610/five-nights-at-freddy-s-sister-locationThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Aug 1, price as of Sep 24.
