Sister Location
Systems: PC Developer: Scott Games

​

FNAF Sister Location is a horror series that limited players in defending themselves from threats in their stationary position. It is the fifth installment in the Five Nights at Freddy's series created by Scott Cawthon, and barring a secret level, Sister Location does away with the survival aspect of previous games. While previous games have the player monitor and keep the animatronics from reaching the player, who remains at a stationary position, through five increasingly-difficult nights, the player instead has to fulfill a series of objectives, which differ depending on the night played. Can you make it through the night?

This was an interesting one. The mobility was obviously the more apparent change (which ties into what Five Nights is at its core rather well), but the freeform design and the emphasis on secrets was probably the more unique thing about it, as welll as...well, pretty much the way everything was presented. And as far as it went in twisting the series' core concepts until they almost broke, I think it succeeded. This wasn't a FNAF game, and there was a reason for a while it was just referred to as Sister Location. It was good at building suspense and only had one "scare" that wasn't the result of unsatisfactory play (Or...2?). And the story...it definitely knew how to hit without any outside context.

That in mind, the best part of the game was easily

No contest. Best Game. 10/10.
