(Subjective) list! UPDATE 2: Final recommendations before virtual machine for FNaF fan games

Looking at some more games I managed to find!


The title explains it in part. I'm playing on a Mac and I'm using a wrapper. Some of the games straight up don't work (such us Update 3 by Toy Chica Entertainment, FNaS World or the RPG Maker games). I'll attempt to set up a virtual machine to get them in a functional state. Should that work, an update 4 will appear as a post!

I wanna point out that @sincerelyproductions1398 's The Plushie Saga got a full release on the 17th of August! I've updated the main article with my extended thoughts.

Ok, the same premise now: I do not condone any form of behavior that is or is similar to hate against the devs working on a passion project that is their FNaF World fan game, an unpaid game made by the fans, for the fans. This is a subjective list: everybody is entitled to have their own opinion, as is right. This list in particular is an update to the following post, where you'll be able to read what was also written here: https://gamejolt.com/p/subjective-list-fnaf-world-fan-game-recommendations-my-personal-ssyj59zj

With all that out of the way, let us begin once more!

I highly recommend these!

FNaF World HD (by @Puqa )

You boot it up for the first time. A static effect fills your screen. Then you finally go to Party Mode and talk to Fredbear. And finally, you are in Fazbear Hills. The game has never looked so good. It feels like you are in a movie and you control the protagonists.

Everything's crisp, everything is silky smooth. No bugs, no nuisances. Just you and a FNaF World so beautiful, something you've never seen before. I didn't think at first it would make that much of a difference, but I was gladly proven wrong. If you want to experience the original FNaF World, I suggest going with this version: it makes that much of an impact!

FNAF Hidden World (by @MatthewS3 ) [promoted!]

Discover a plane where you can join the lost souls you've seen so much in the series. Join forces with the spirits of the Hidden World and return to the Pizzeria, your home, as you attempt to solve puzzles, find clues and play arcade games.

Traverse a 3D pixelated world through the depths of reality: just how deep does the rabbit hole go? You get to play as Freddy, wielding his trusty microphone. Can he fend for himself or will he succumb to the Rotten Rabbit? Why not find out for yourself in this new format for our lovable mascots, with references spanning all the series, from FNAF 1 to Ruin?

FNAF WORLD: QUEST (by @Patata1236 )

The new format's interesting, I'll give it that. Still... I find myself conflicted.

I'm not sure that 1) this is an actual FNaF World game. I mean, it's in the name, right? But it's pretty distant from where we started. I guess the same could be said about The Plushie Saga, but that game feels closer to the FNaF World feeling, I can't explain quite why: maybe it's the whimsical story and the creative characters. This is another game: it's an arcade game, which is not bad, but is it even a fan game of FNaF World or, like Outplay, it's a fan game of something else with a FNaF overlay?

Rhetorics aside, the second point is 2) I'm not too fond of key choices. Imagine coding a whole game, and the one thing I decide to comment on is key choices? No, but seriously, having 1, 2, 3, 4 as keys for the abilities is uncomfortable. It actively ruins the whole experience. Maybe using keys like I, J, K, L? Have the left hand move the character and the right one attack and do secondary things would be a much more comfortable setup.

And this leads me to 3) it's super chaotic, but I'm not sure I mean this in a good way. There are enemies spawning everywhere. Now, it's obvious that you should stop at each world to kill and level up, but I'm not too happy to do that cause 2) bad controls. So I try to skip ahead and get traumatized by 10000 Gearrats. Also wanna add that I didn't quite get how to upgrade abilities, but that's probably a me problem.

So overall... I'm conflicted cause you see the work that was put. I can't recommend it, but I can't not recommend it. See this game for yourself: it's probably the best solution.

FNaF World - Update 3 Rescripted, Part 1 (by @Invisible-Team )

I'm not conflicted in the sense that this has good aspects or bad aspects. I'll go straight to the point: so far, I noticed no new content. And I mean, that's correct. It should be like that: it's only Part 1 after all.

But... this is literally just Fixed for now. Ok, battle backgrounds are better, but I noticed zero changes besides that. I defeated Scott and checked around Halloween Backstage. I... don't see any changes.

So, I guess if you wanna play the Update 3 content that will eventually come, it might be nice to prep yourself and get the characters but... there's nothing to differentiate it from Fixed. What am I rating here? The backgrounds? It's not bad enough to not recommend, because Fixed is a good game. But there is not enough to make it, so far, its own game with only Part 1 available. Some fan games put their own spin to it even this early on: this one doesn't. So... I guess it's best to just wait and see what they have been thinking!

So... what do you think? Do you agree or disagree with the recommendations? If you have any suggestions, let me know!
