Patchwork

Foreword It has come to this. The penultimate battle of good vs evil – father vs son – a reviewer vs a really well put together horror game and franchise. Five Nights at Freddy's: Pizzeria Simulator (which I loving short to Pizza Sim cause it just sounds funny) is the sixth installment and the final (Haha – fat chance) game in the Afton story line. This game was released on December 4, 2017 for FREE and has received pretty much universal praise (9/10 via Steam, 7.1 via Metacritic). Perhaps the most lore intensive game, most of the burning questions that remain are answered while delivering both a familiar gameplay style with some exciting new mechanics. Let us descend into the madness for one final time. The Story The game opens, innocently enough, on an atari style mini game. You control Mr. Fazbear himself as he launches pizza pies of your own creation into the faces of hungry waiting children.

  Foreword Has a video game series ever had so many sequels released in such a short amount of time? I'm sure if you were to take a look at the industry, Five Nights at Freddy's would be near the top of the list - if not the number 1. Scott Cawthon released the sequel to his critically acclaimed horror game just four months after the first game. Even someone not familiar with the gaming industry can tell that is an incredibly short amount of time. The assumption that is easy to make is that the game must not be of high quality.

Before I start, let me rehash my reviewing scale for those of you who may be new here: Each game is scored based on four core categories - the story, the gameplay, the visuals, and the audio. Each component is awarded a maximum of ten points, and then the game is scored based on the average of those four categories. To further the exp...

What makes a game perfect? Is it an engaging story filled with charming and compelling characters? Is it challenging and rewarding gameplay? Is it a sound track that stays in your playlist long after you beat the game? A combination of the above? Of course perfection is completely subjective- as any opinion is. I would be remissed if I did not argue that Undertale is a perfect video game, and is absolutely among of my favorite games of all time, perhaps even being that number one spot. Before I fully dive into this review, allow me to first address some of the controversy related to this game. It is no secret that during Undertale's height in popularity, there were several toxic fans that would spoil the game or demand it be played a certain way. I condemn opinions like that, obviously, and I am not allowing the fan base to determine my opinion. Let me begin with the story. Undertale follows a gender neutral child that has fallen into a place called the Underground. Th...
