As the first powerful piece in “Five Nights at Freddy’s” to expand the plot universe over many years, Security Breach broke the previous series’ traditional explosive defense mode and brought a turning point to the entire series.
After entering the game, I woke up in a brand new large pizza shop. What was unexpected this time was no longer the narrow, dark security room. This means I need to take the initiative to explore everything here.
Indeed, this horror game, which initially captivated players with its stronghold monitoring, has now taken a thrilling turn. It has embraced the concept of open-world horror exploration, a path that was previously uncharted in the series, adding a new layer of excitement and intrigue.
For the fixed gameplay mode in the first five games, the freshness of many gamers has shown a decreasing trend. For example, I feel numb to the sudden jumps of the dolls, and I even find it a bit funny. This once called into question the game’s “horror” label.
However, in this game, everything changes. The freedom to move around has expanded my perspective, but it has also heightened the suspense. The monsters’ jumpscares are no longer predictable; they can strike from blind spots at any moment, keeping me on the edge of my seat.

Fighting with these killing machines in a huge abandoned shop, the excitement of the game surpasses any previous games.
However, this game also has its share of disappointments. The dolls’ design, which is the core of the horror element in this game, seems to have lost its edge. It’s a pity, as it’s clear the author wanted to break away from previous production ideas, but the result feels slightly underwhelming.
Several dolls in this game have been redesigned. Although they are more flexible, the overly bright colors have lost the mystery of previous works, especially compared to the nightmare dolls of the fourth film.
In addition, the plot of this game is also regrettable. It is still trivial, secretive, and confusing to new players, while for old players, it involves changes in the story worldline – some settings become blurred or conflicting.
Security Breach brings some welcome changes to the FNAF universe, such as an open world map and lore changes. It does a great job of combining traditional gameplay with a completely new setting. On the other hand, it would have benefited from a few more months of development time and lacks the horror factor that previous games had.
