The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with some praising its mechanics and improvements over previous episodes, while others criticize its lack of clear instructions and numerous bugs that hinder the experience. Players appreciate the unique challenges posed by the animatronics and the engaging horror elements, but many express frustration with janky mechanics and performance issues, particularly on lower-end systems. Overall, while some find the gameplay enjoyable and recommend it, others feel it lacks polish and can be frustratingly difficult.
“I love the game; it has the best and coolest gameplay at a high level. I recommend it to everyone.”
“This game is great for its price and contains a lot of scary and difficult gameplay.”
“The animatronics are well-designed, memorable, and iconic, and all of them have different mechanics that you need to work out, as the game doesn’t handhold.”
“Though this game has a huge problem in explaining what to do, the only reason I managed to beat the episode is by thinking outside the box. A lot of the mechanics required to pass aren't explained, or the game has a hard time leading the player in the right direction, so you can imagine me just running around looking for a way forward when it's right in front of you.”
“Many, many situations where death is entirely unavoidable, glitching into objects, glitching through walls, etc. No matter how nice the monsters look and the ambience is, the fundamental gameplay is just... bad.”
“It didn't feel complete or polished, and sure they could fix this and make the gameplay better in the future, but to charge someone 20 bucks for this incomplete, difficult, buggy game is ludicrous!”

Players have experienced issues such as freezing, lag, and poor performance even on capable hardware, leading to frustration and a sense of incompleteness.

“The game will lag on a 950 GPU and while that is a generation behind, I can assure you that my friends have GTX 10 series GPUs and the game still performs poorly on high settings. It glitches, it crashes, and at one point I was receiving 15 FPS!”
“It didn't feel complete or polished, and sure they could fix this and make the gameplay better in the future, but to charge someone 20 bucks for this incomplete, difficult, buggy game is ludicrous!”
