Five Nights at Freddy's: The Core Collection (PS4) - PlayStation 4

I'm not a big fan of this character but my kids are they love this game

Never got to use it because one of the older kids got the PS4 console permanently blocked! Yep, that's a thing. Still 5 stars because his friend has it and he loves the game. Sometimes he gets fustrated figuring out what controller sequence is required or how to solve one of the puzzles. But this one's really into FNAF. I think the "animatronic" characters are a little gross. But then I'm told they're machines, not living.

Great condition, just as described.

The best way to play Freddy on ps4 and ps5

I am probably not going to add much of an opinion to an ocean of well deserved favorable opinions.The FNAF empire starts with these games. The mysterious lore, heart stopping jump scares and the reflexive compulsion to close a door or don a mask starts with the first chapter and the second chapter of the game and goes up from there.BTW, I love jump scares!I say this game is great for all ages. Kids who like a good fright should be playing this. Adults who love a good scare should be playing this.Remember Foxy will be banging on your door if you don’t keep an eye on him!

love the game came on time. the game is spooky but not in a away you would expect!! anticipation 👻👻

Found it the cheapest on Amazon. My son loves the game and is still playing it months later.

At risk of sounding like a hipster, I liked Five Nights at Freddy's before it was cool. Before it even took YouTube by storm, I was simply taken by the mysterious looking icon on Steam Greenlight and I've been playing the series since day one. Having collected a ton of figures and other physical merch, I've always wanted some kind of physical copy of the games to put on my shelf and this certainly delivers in that regard and is a fun way to revisit the series.That said however, the ports here are of varying quality and I feel it's important to go through each game line by line:FNAF 1 is good and the control scheme works well, but not much effort was put into presentation. While I don't mind the games' low-budget feel, which is honestly part of the charm, I was annoyed that they don't even give you an onscreen control prompt to tell you which button does what and you'll have to just trial and error with the controls. Once you figure out the button maps though, this is a good conversion and I was thrilled to find that even after all these years, the game is still very scary. You really get focused on trying to manage your strategy and all the weird popups and jumpscares still throw you off balance. It's been a while since I've played this but it absolutely holds up and is as much fun as it was back in 2015.FNAF 2 is unfortunately a bit of a dud in this collection. First off, the game is stretched to 16:9, while the original PC version was presented in 4:3. It's fairly easy to set your TV's stretch mode to the correct 4:3 aspect ratio, but the game doesn't tell you this. People who have never played the original will just assume the stretched version is how it's supposed to look and I can't condone putting an incorrect version of the game out there. Once I started playing I instantly noticed something else was off: the phone calls, which not only give you the story but also the instructions on how to play, are horribly distorted. I'm actually surprised the game shipped in this state because spending even 30 seconds playing the PC version will show you the audio is supposed to be much clearer. One thing I noticed across each of the games is that the move to a controller changes the dexterity requirements for certain tasks, and some things such as flipping through cameras is a bit harder, while other tasks like putting on the mask and winding the music box become a lot easier. FNAF 2 has always had a certain dominant strategy that makes it near-impossible to lose, and playing on the PS4 controller makes that particular cheese much easier.FNAF 3 however, is really nicely done. It's pretty much the exact game you remember and they actually put proper button prompts on screen for everything. This is the standard of presentation I wanted to see in the previous 2 games.FNAF 4 continues the trend of having proper UI and it looks very nice, but again, the original game was 4:3 and this collection stretches it to 16:9. When the game first starts it asks you to turn your TV's volume up until you can hear crickets to calibrate the audio, but honestly I had my TV's volume maxed out and I still couldn't hear them. To be honest, I've always had issues with 4's audio mix and part of the game's scares come from being as loud as possible, but it could also just be that my TV's speakers are mediocre and maybe this sounds rightUnfortunately, I haven't sat down with Sister Location yet, as it's a much more involved game than the others but given that 3 and 4 have good UI, I'd expect it to follow suit.One thing that annoyed me across all the games is that it's very inconsistant about when and if it lets you use the D-pad and I feel like that would be more comfortable for certain things, especially flipping through cameras, than the analogue stick. I think FNAF 3 doesn't let you use dpad at all for that, but then FNAF 2 and 1 both allow varying amounts of D-pad use.Overall, I'm glad I got this collection, I wanted something I could put on my shelf and this certainly looks handsome. That said, if you're a newcomer who wants to try the series, I don't think this is a good place to start despite having quite a bit of content for the price. While not everyone has a gaming PC, the FNAF games can run on pretty much anything and the PC versions go on discount pretty often, meaning you can probably grab the while series a bit cheaper if you just want to try them and don't care about collecting. If you're a longtime fan I think you'll enjoy trying the new form factor: I find that I feel more exposed playing games on my TV and it's certainly upped the fear level a bit. Scott Cawthon is a brilliant designer and the fact that even the early games are still fun and scary is a testament to his talent, I just wish a little more effort had been put into these ports.
