game tier list (no side games like fnaf world sorry)

58 1 23
                                    

So at the top we have FNaF 5, Sister Location, best game in the series imo
However there IS a drawback with night 4 being a little too hard (fuck you minireenas) and just overall being some of the weakest gameplay in favour of lore
Except for the fake ending, that had spectacular gameplay and audio
Luckily, it makes up for it with the soundtrack and voice acting AND THE ENDINGS
Yikes I wanna marry the FNaF 5 endings they're so good
The characters are really cool, too, my favourites are FunFoxy and Bon-Bon (obviously FunFred too but that's implied by it literally BEING MY NAME)
Also... ✨💅💚exotic butterz💚💅✨
The memes skyrocketed when this game came out and the fandom got a whole lot funnier (at least in my opinion) so I'm kinda glad for that

Next we got FNaF 6 aka Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator or Pizza Sim or FFPS for short
THE LORE. THE GAMEPLAY. THE JUMPSCARES. THE MUSIC. THE ENDING. The only thing I don't like about it is the voice acting, but I suppose that's because there isn't much of it
The ending was one of the most powerful ones in the entire series by a long shot, beautiful voice acting by Dave Steele and a wonderful closure to the lore
Heather Masters also did pretty well with Baby in that speech, and in most of her death voicelines
Overall, pretty good game, not as good as Sister Location but still one of the best in the series

Five Nights at Freddy's 2014. OG FNaF, can't go wrong
Not much lore or voice acting, but holds a lot of nostalgia for older fans and is pretty fun for newer fans to experience the golden (ba-doom-tss) days of Five Nights at Freddy's
The audio, while not being spectacular like FNaF 5 or 6, is still impressive considering it's the first horror game Scott Cawthon made
Overall not bad
8/10 would play again

We got FNaF 2 now, toys and Withereds, can't go wrong with the OGs
Still not much going on in the audio department but visuals were really good for this one
AND THE LORE! Can't forget the lore
Phone Guy got a lot hotter here too /sns
But fucking. Balloon Boy. I wanna strangle the bitch. LEMME AT HIM
Anyway, other than that, pretty cool! I got a lot of favourites here where I hadn't last time (Examples: Puppet, Mangle, TBonnie) so that's always a plus
Easter eggs where there weren't before too, like the paper pals or JJ
Mostly a pretty good game, not terrible in terms of visual or story but still not fantastic in audio

Then we got Ultimate Custom Night or UCN for short
amazing with voice acting, visuals and gameplay
Otherwise audio was kinda dull. It was mostly just distractions, screeching and slamming doors/vents. And the music box, if you have Chica or Puppet/Lefty enabled
Mostly kind of boring but it's cool to get the secret deaths and cutscenes
Bit of lore to spice up your three-hour fail compilation
But mostly just boring gameplay loops that nobody likes
DeeDee. That's all I have to say about that

Moving on we got FNaF 3, Springtrap
I used to simp for William Afton. Not sure why. Don't ask me. Ask the person in my brain who was so down bad for a rotting corpse that they wrote William x cop!reader fanfiction
anywayyyyyy
Gameplay is pretty fun imo, but the audio is very repetitive and if you're not checking closely, barely any lore
Where the other games, especially SL and FFPS, shove the lore in your face, this one you really have to look closely
Playing casually and/or ignoring the phone calls, you'd completely miss nearly the entire story
Speaking of phone calls, Phone Guy is back but he's in the 2000s so he gotta speak like a surfer. Hey I'm not complaining do you see me complaining?
Phantoms are kinda boring, all they really do is mess with your run so it can be pretty hard to beat
Luckily you can stare at Springy to make him stand still and if you're lucky, can catch him in place for about twelve seconds (near half an in-game hour) before getting a vent malfunction which completely fucks you over and that sucks
But mostly a pretty solid entry

Next we have Security Breach/Help Wanted
Now I group these two together because their stories pretty much slide into each other like puzzle pieces
Puzzle pieces don't slide, I'm sorry
Anyway, they're not bad just underwhelming
I mean, eighty megabytes FIFTY DOLLARS for THAT?? Honestly, I felt like I was getting ripped off
The lore wasn't bad for these ones but since they were VR/Free roam, there was so much to do and see that you can sometimes forget what your objectives are since you get distracted so easily
Either that or I have the worst attention span on the planet
Honestly, the steel wool games were a lot of lore to take in at once
The FNaF 6 ending was completely nullified by bringing back William and the Blob
Vanessa/Vanny should have been more of a problem in SB
The audio, visuals and voice acting were all astronomical though, I particularly enjoyed Sun and Moon, they were pretty fun
The gameplay was a little weaker than it could have been, though
Not to mention how buggy SB is, it makes it almost unplayable with how many softlocks and deloads there are in the Atrium alone
There were about a thousand bugs with all the animatronics especially Monty. Imagine T-posing your way to a child so you can chomp its head off. Evan would cry (though that's not much of an accomplishment lmfaooooooo)

Then you got FNaF AR aka Special Delivery
It was pretty good, I guess, not much going on lore-wise
It did take place at the same time as HW I believe so maybe I just missed something huge, Idk I'm really unobservant
Gameplay was pretty fun but I can't sleep with the lights off anymore so that's cool
I also liked the skins, they were really fun to mess around with
In the selection screen you can hear the voices, I especially liked TBonnie's again, maybe I'm biased because he was my fav before too?
I also liked Mangle's, the VAs did spectacular on her
Other than that, not much to talk about, pretty boring if you're not already a fan of augmented reality games like Pokemon Go or Ghost Hunter

And then at the VERY bottom we have FNaF 4
The lore and audio were really good but...
The nightmares man
The nightmares
Actually, the only reason I dislike this game at all is because of the core gameplay, especially Foxy
If it were just the minigames I would be all over it
But my room is too similar to MC's for comfort

Lemme know if you want me to cover the books too
That would include the Fazbear Frights 1-11 (since I can't get my proverbial hands on #12 since I spent all our money on goddamn SB), the Silver Eyes series, and the Security/Survival Logbook
So yeah! :3
