Five Nights at Freddy’s VR: Help Wanted is a VR survival-horror first-person video game developed by Steel Wool Studios and published by ScottGames and Lionsgate Games at 28 May, 2019.

Five Nights at Freddy’s VR: Help Wanted is a collection of classic and original mini-games set in the Five Nights universe . The player has to survive terrifying encounters with your favorite killer animatronics in a collection of new and classic Five Nights at Freddy’s experiences. The collection has a good mix of all the previous games on VR.

Five Nights at Freddy’s VR: Help Wanted is a virtual reality experience for the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift. It is a clever use of VR that makes players feel true horror. You do not have campaigns; you do not have an overall goal; some may say these games are pretty much demos of the virtual reality (VR) technology and they will not be wrong. This is true because VR has a great impact in creating the emotions of fear in the viewer/player.

Five Nights at Freddy’s VR: Help Wanted is a great introduction to the franchise, packaging several levels from various games in the series. Though the first three games are the strongest, some other levels (created from previous games) are fun on their own. However, controls are more problematic and can kill the vibe. I question the decision of a giant demonic chicken that will scream in your face when you mess up. At a certain point may be annoying.

The Five Nights at Freddy’s series is a fairly iconic horror franchise on PC, with the first originally released back in 2014. The premise was simple but addictive gameplay with a tense atmosphere and some rather bone-chilling creatures. All that returns on playstation in one mega virtual reality (VR) bundle. It virtual reality (VR) has the ability to stress the error more than playstation games on regular flat screens. It can immerse the player in a chilling environment and provoke emotion (fear).

Five Nights at Freddy’s VR: Help Wanted is filled with jump scares, caused by deadly animatronics that look like massive cuddly bunnies and teddy bears. However, they are neither cute nor cuddly, but rather crippy. This is the goal : to embark you on a horror experience in the Five Nights universe.

Five Nights at Freddy’s VR: Help Wanted has great visual impact due mainly to the virtual reality (VR) technology (without diminishing the merits of the franchise). Five Night s at Freddy’s VR: Help Wanted will definitely provoke a good scare , in this sense the fans will enjo y. However, it may look repetitive and the lack o f an overall scheme/plan hurts the game . I cannot shake the feeling of demos (good demos) for VR, rather than a great game.
