More about Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location

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 80 percent.

That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,368 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 552 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.

Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones

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...
