LAST UPDATE: List overhaul
A different article than what I'm used to writing: here I show you which fan games impressed me and which ones I didn't care for. If you want to find a fan game you like but don't know where to look, why not start here?

Any game you'd like to see here? Don't hesitate to leave a comment with your suggestion! I'll gladly check it out!

A very important premise
Now, I know I won't be talking too well about a few of them. But let me be clear: these are games that were made by fans, for fans. It's absolutely amazing that people with talent spent their time making fan games of FNaF World for the people to enjoy! Most of these are passion projects and I highly doubt if there is even one of them where the people working on it are getting paid for it. The developers should absolutely be respected for even trying their best here and none deserve any form of hate. While I severely doubt this could even happen, I'll still write that I do not condone any sort of behavior that is or is comparable to hate against the devs. Constructive criticism is important, yes, but outright hate is just being a jerk.
Another thing: these are just my personal opinions. This is a subjective list: everybody is entitled to have their own opinion on these fan games, thanks to the freedom of speech.
On another note, I highly suggest starting with the OG FNaF World rather than jumping right in on the fan games, if you still haven't. It'll really give you means to compare them properly! I even got a guide on how to do it on a Mac (here's the guide: https://gamejolt.com/p/the-ultimate-guide-to-playing-fnaf-world-games-on-a-mac-for-free-buhe4hkz)
The games are presented in no particular order. This isn't a ranking: just a recommendation! I'm talking only about the ones I tried and worked: I can't tell anything about the others. With that out of the way, let's begin!

Honorary mentions to look out for
Here are a few games with a lot of promise that you might not see in Page 1 of Gamejolt (yet): games that are still not out, but show so much potential!
Animatronica: Reconstruscted (by @joybait 
)
Set off on a new journey and explore Animatronica (finally we settled on a name!) like you've never done before! New characters, unlikely friends, a whole rebalancing and... perhaps a nihilist Chica?
The game sets out to be the next Refreshed. What are you waiting for? Go check out the game page and have a little patience: trust me, you won't be disappointed!
FNaF World: Universal Madness (by @LivingCorpse7 
)
A game I've been looking forward to ever since I set my eyes upon it (and you can confirm this by even just checking where I post 
). Fantastic models, new moves, new modes, fully fledged and developed skins, an encyclopedia, FAN GAME UNIVERSES, reworked encounters, quests and more, this really does feel like FNaF World 2! Reworked animations, models, moves, maps, new areas... check it out for yourselves!
It has three videos on the development and more on the creation of the fan game models! If you like what you see, check out his DeviantArt and his YouTube channel: you won't be disappointed!
It's now in Page 1 when searching for "fnaf world": seriously, check it out!
FNAF World: Strings (by @Dave_Miller789 
)
Have you ever wanted a darker take on FNaF World? Were you among the ones lamenting the absence of the unnerving feeling you get from the first games? This might be for you then. Delving into Kenophobia, the fear of empty spaces, and the digital horror trope, this is a complete reinterpretation of what we know and love.
Three modes, wide worlds, a reimagined new chip system, uncanny graphics and more... come see what the game has to offer. If you ever dare, that is.
