Five Nights at Freddy's: Into the Pit
10/10
boy is tormented by a demonic murderer rabbit that took place of his father and only he can see. perpetually unsure how much of it is metaphorical. it's like a retelling of FNAF1 but more supernatural and by a skilled team and it's so fucking good

Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator
9/10
despite being defunct for decades, Fazbear Ent. suddenly appears and licenses their franchise to a specific location. each day, some half-alive monstrosity mysteriously appears in the alleyway and tries to get inside. a hell of a sendoff

Five Nights at Freddy's 2
9/10
in a new location, with redesigned, friendlier animatronics that have a built-in criminal database to ensure children's safety, it's time for the pizzeria's Grand Reopening. clever concepts and deep execution, pretty much kickstarted the series

4
Five Nights at Freddy's: Secret of the Mimic
9/10
incredibly focused, immersive, by far the longest, and has some amazing writing and set pieces, fully bringing back the dark parody aspect, the only weakness might be the simplicity at times

5
Five Nights at Freddy's 4
8/10
his father is absent, his brother bullies him, and he is perpetually broken into tears by fear of the dark.
a nightmarish tonal shift from the usual dark parody. scary, immaculate presentation, intriguing plot, but no one is sure what it means

Ultimate Custom Night
8/10
We've only just begun. I will never let you leave. I will never let you rest.

Five Nights at Freddy's 3
7/10
30 years after it closed, a careless horror attraction is built from scraps of the pizzeria, and for whatever reason, one person is up to the job of security guard. this is the end of the line. for him, and for them. or so it should've been...

Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location
7/10
the gameplay is a bit odd, but there are EXTREMELY important plot reveals, recontextualizing all of the previous games into a more complete story

9
Five Nights at Freddy's
6/10
a pizzeria with a horrific history tries to reopen, now smaller and dingier. there are remarkable aspects, such as the atmosphere and worldbuilding, but the 9min nights, simplicity and predictable mechanics are serious issues with revisiting it

Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach
2/10
boy is stuck in the pizzaplex after it closes, but he's scared of the guard lady, so he relies on his friend freddy to find another way out. i guess you could compliment the pretty environment design? if you really wanted to be positive?
