    The story in "Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location" is widely praised for its depth and complexity, marking a significant shift from previous entries in the franchise. Players appreciate the clear narrative progression, engaging voice acting, and the incorporation of rich lore that expands the FNAF universe, making it a must-play for fans invested in the storyline. However, some critiques highlight that the gameplay can feel tedious and overly linear, with a focus on story over traditional survival mechanics, which may not appeal to all players.

    • “The story itself unfolds gradually through cutscenes, voiceovers, and environmental details, giving it a narrative depth that wasn't as present in earlier games.”
    • “Sister Location adds a lot to the FNAF mythos, making the game a must-play for those who are invested in the storyline.”
    • “The story is gripping and the atmosphere is really industrial.”
    • “The story is unnecessarily slow and monotonous when the first four games either didn't force you to participate with the story or were engaging to participate with.”
    • “This game is barely a game, more like a collection of poorly made minigames with a story that doesn't do much either.”
    • “The gameplay is boring and tedious and the story feels like a cop-out of the lore that was already established.”
  • gameplay703 mentions

    The gameplay in "Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location" represents a significant departure from previous entries in the series, introducing varied mechanics and tasks for each night rather than the traditional "sit and survive" formula. While some players appreciate the innovative approach and engaging story, others criticize the gameplay for being tedious, overly scripted, or lacking depth, particularly in the later nights. Overall, the game is seen as a mixed bag, with unique elements that may appeal to fans of narrative-driven experiences but may frustrate those seeking traditional gameplay.

    • “The gameplay mechanics in Sister Location offer a fresh and innovative take on the series, introducing different animatronic personalities and their distinct mechanics, ensuring that no two nights are the same.”
    • “Sister Location takes a 180° turn on the entire franchise, changing the typical gameplay theme of the first four games, from a night guard trapped in a room trying to survive the arrival of the animatronics, adding a plot twist in the game itself.”
    • “The gameplay is annoying and tedious.”
    • “Night 4 is just the most atrocious and totally unnecessary gameplay in any horror game ever.”
    • “The gameplay is boring and tedious and the story feels like a cop out of the lore that was already established.”

  • humor155 mentions

    The humor in the game is a notable aspect, often blending dark comedy with horror elements, primarily through the character of the handunit, which provides comic relief amidst the tension.

    • “Unfortunately, the entire game, to me, just doesn't ooze the spooky atmosphere I would have expected.”
    • “The game sets up a decent atmosphere for the jump scares to be effective, but the actual gameplay is profoundly lacking.”
    • “The horror element is completely different from the previous four games, while the jump scares aren't as loud and they are still scary and in your face, but the real horror is the general atmosphere of the game, having to go through pitch black rooms with the possibility of death with every move.”

  • grinding61 mentions

  • replayability46 mentions

    Overall, the game's replayability is a mixed bag, with many players noting its linearity and lack of engaging content for multiple playthroughs.

However, many still feel that the game is primarily designed for a single, narrative-driven experience rather than repeated gameplay.

    • “It's excellent on a first playthrough, and while it doesn't hold up on repeat playthroughs, it does have a lot of replayability with the custom night that was added in a later update.”

    • “There is much more replay value in the game now, and the custom night is like a whole new game within the original game.”
    • “It is incredibly linear and has little to no replay value.”
    • “The gameplay is not replayable at all; the custom night is not customizable.”
    • “There is really not a lot of replay value when it comes to the main game, however.”

    The emotional aspect of the game is profoundly impactful, eliciting strong feelings of fear, sadness, and empathy from players. Many reviewers express that the game not only terrifies them but also deeply moves them, often leading to tears and a sense of heartbreak over the characters and their fates. The combination of dark themes, relatable family dynamics, and the haunting design of the animatronics creates a rich emotional experience that resonates long after gameplay.

    • “Sister location prompts us to confront the implications of technology as an extension of our own identity and the consequences of creating entities that bear our emotional and psychological marks.”
    • “There's also a part of this game that shocked even me, and without going into spoiler territory, made me emotionally invested in the animatronics.”
    • “It's dark, emotional, disturbing and brilliant in every way...and it easily rivals the amazing storytelling perspective of FNAF 4.”
  • stability19 mentions

    The stability of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players reporting a range of glitches and bugs that can disrupt gameplay, including freezing issues and game-breaking errors.

    • “No glitches, no bugs. I recommend it to anyone who asks for a top-of-the-line horror game.”
    • “It's a really good game; no glitches, everything is good. This game is awesome.”
    • “While I do recommend Sister Location, there are bugs that come with being newly released, and you may want to wait if you want a bug-free experience.”
    • “It merely freezes up the game, and locks the mouse into the center of my computer screen.”
    • “I still encounter like 2 or 3 glitches that are game breaking or just simply cause the game to freeze.”
    • “This game is a great addition but it's really buggy; I can't get past night two after I close the grate a second time.”
  • character development11 mentions

    Character development in this game is highlighted by its impressive character designs and voice acting, which contribute to a dark and intriguing story that expands the franchise's lore. While some players find the narrative strange and filled with new theories, the overall execution of character design and atmosphere is praised as a significant improvement over previous entries. Despite mixed opinions on the gameplay, the game is recognized for its revolutionary elements and strong character representation.

    • “Now basically I have to say one thing, I absolutely loved this game; the story was dark, the character development was good, and gameplay-wise, the game completely switched it up.”
    • “The story, character design, sound design, music, and visuals here are some of the best in the original Scott Cawthon series of FNAF games. It was revolutionary for its time, being the first to bring staples of the franchise such as hand unit and his many counterparts, Kellen Goff, actual control over the character (in a limited, clickteamy janky way but nonetheless), as well as being the first to have proper voice acting.”
    • “This game is significantly different compared to the ones before it; the story is kind of strange and creates a bunch of new weird theories. However, the diverse mechanics, voice acting, music, character designs, atmosphere, easter eggs, etc., are all amazing and a fantastic continuation of this franchise, a step in the right direction.”
    • “The only positives this game has are its additions to the lore of the universe, its character designs, and saving the franchise after the lull created by FNAF World; which has a better core gameplay loop than this abomination.”
    • “The story, character design, sound design, music, and visuals here are some of the best in the original Scott Cawthon series of FNAF games, but the character development feels lacking compared to previous entries.”
    • “While the character designs are visually appealing, the depth of character development is disappointingly shallow, leaving players wanting more from the narrative.”
  • optimization3 mentions

    Overall, the game's optimization is noted as a minor issue, with some users mentioning it is not fully optimized but still providing a smooth gameplay experience. Despite this downside, the game is highly recommended for its fresh elements and engaging mechanics.

    • “I would rate this game 4.25/5 stars, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a breath of fresh air from the previous games and wants a custom night that runs smoothly and introduces new elements.”
    • “Great gameplay, runs smoothly.”
    • “It's one of the best FNAF games; it's pretty great, 8/10. The only downside is that it's not really optimized, but that's a very small downside.”
  • monetization2 mentions

    The monetization aspect of the game has been criticized as a cash grab, despite players acknowledging its unique gameplay and considering it a strong entry in the FNAF series. Some fans still prefer FNAF World over this installment.
