It's still a good game but it's definitely the weakest in the entire franchise minus Sister Location but its not far below this game. This game has A LOT of RNG in it, way more than the other FNAF games. There literally is not a single strategy for this game that consistently beats Aggressive Nightmare mode minus the TAS only / temporary stalling cheese strat that I forgot the name of and I don't think I'd deem cheesing the game a suitable way to beat it.
You can have to deal with bad RNG as early as Night 4 reasonably and it makes this game the one I am the least likely to and least confident in replaying despite it being one of the easier ones. Aggressive Nightmare mode in particular is some hot ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. It is absolutely terrible and the entire time, you are just relying on getting lucky. I hated playing this mode a lot but after like 2 hours of playing, I was handed a miracle run where Springtrap decided to threaten me only twice and even stayed in Cam 9 and the Cam 9 vent for about 1 and a half hours. What a game should not be making you think in such a good situation like that, a minute from the end of a night in which you can basically stall the animatronic for the last 30 seconds is, 'he can still bombrush my office any time now and kill me in like 20 seconds'. The only mechanic in this entire game that isn't based on RNG of some kind is the errors themselves. Everything else is RNG, Springtrap's movement opportunities, Springtrap's movements, audio lures working or not (1/7 to fail), vent closing, maintanence. It is so stupid the amount of RNG stuff that was packed into this game.
RNG rant over, minus all that, this game is actually incredibly satisfying, there is no normalised office cycle like there is in most fnaf max modes and it makes you think about the situation you're in and how to survive it. Finally learning how all the Phantoms worked and how to fully avoid their jumpscares was incredibly satisfying and figuring out the two strats for top of map and bottom of map was also extremely satisfying. Being able to know what to do based off a little amount of information is incredible and overall, beating the game was satisfying, I felt proud even past all the RNG ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ the game makes you go through.
So overall, it is a good game but if you're just a casual gamer who plays genuinely hard stuff eventually though have quality standards for it, quit after beating Nightmare or even just Night 5 really, it's not worth it unless you're trying to 100% all the fnaf games like me.
AND WHY DOES PHANTOM FREDDY MAKE THE ANXIETY SOUND! I HATE IT! IT COMPLETELY INVALIDATES THE PRIMARY STRAT FOR AGGRESSIVE NIGHTMARE WHILE HE'S ON SCREEN!
7/10 game, still worst in the franchise.
