Five Nights at Freddy’s 3 Review – Springtrap, Lore, and the Game’s Chilling Mechanics

-
Image
From the very first night, Five Nights at Freddy’s 3 makes it clear that it is not trying to repeat the same tricks as the earlier games. The frantic juggling act that defined how the original 2014 Five Nights at Freddy’s game changed horror and the chaotic energy of Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 is gone. In its place is a slower, more calculated form of fear. There is only one enemy who can kill you, but he is the most dangerous yet. This is Springtrap, a rotting green rabbit suit that contains the corpse of William Afton, the killer whose shadow has hung over the series from the very beginning. Instead of managing doors, masks, and a swarm of threats, FNaF 3 gameplay focuses on three key systems. Cameras let you track Springtrap’s position. Audio devices lure him away from your office by playing childlike sounds. Ventilation keeps you from blacking out when phantom animatronics fill your vision. Any one of these systems can fail without warning, forcing you into the control panel to pe...

Warhammer 40K: Lion El’Johnson Rules Revealed

The Lion returns to the 41st millennium… With the long rumoured return of the Dark Angels Primarch finally revealed during last weeks AdeptiCon, Games Workshop have today given us a glimpse into El’Johnson’s fighting prowess.  Dispute having missed the last 10,000 years, the Lion hasn’t gained a single but of rust. So as the might of the Imperium gears up towards the Tyranid threat, the Dark Angels get the return of their monolithic leader.  Much like his Ultramarine brother, Robute Guilliman, Lion El’Johnson has some pretty impressive stats. What sets him apart from Guilliman is both his attack rating (10), and his prowess with the Fealty sword. Utilising both of the swords skills with a pretty powerful armour penetration of -3, and -5 means in the right hands Lion is going to be one impressive model.  Of course any skilled warrior of the 41st millennium needs a bit of defence to back them up, and following the tradition of Guilliman, El’Johnson has a piece of their fath...

Retrospective: How Five Nights at Freddy’s Quietly Redefined Horror Games

-
Image
It has been over a decade since Five Nights at Freddy’s first flickered onto our screens, quietly released on August 8, 2014, by a relatively unknown indie developer named Scott Cawthon. At the time, it seemed like just another quirky horror game in the ever-growing pile of let’s play bait on Steam. A game where you sit still in a security office and monitor malfunctioning animatronics through grainy security feeds? Sounds niche, right? Yet here we are, several games, books, and a big-screen adaptation later, and FNaF (as it’s now colloquially known) is no longer just a one-hit wonder. It is a full-blown pop culture phenomenon, having influenced the indie horror space more than perhaps any other series in recent memory. Looking back now, it is easy to forget just how strange and refreshing the original game was when it first released — and how much of its DNA can still be felt in the genre today. The Horror of Helplessness What made the original Five Nights at Freddy’s so different fro...
