Survive the scary pizza joint in this VR game
Five Nights at Freddy’s VR: Help Wanted is an action game, which, as the name suggests, takes the popular horror series to the virtual reality genre. Here, you play as a late-night caretaker for a pizza chain with an animation characters theme. However, these animatronics come to life once the lights go out.
Help Wanted has the same gameplay as the original Five Nights at Freddy’s. Using gadgets, you will keep the robots at bay without leaving your desk. The catch is that you have limited power. And as this is a VR game, the scary experience is more realistic.
What does the game offer?
The Five Nights at Freddy’s series is an iconic horror game, which offers a simple premise but addictive gameplay. It comes with plenty of tense atmosphere and bone-chilling creatures. Not to mention, it keeps you on the edge of your seat with its twisted furry jumpscares. Five Nights at Freddy’s VR: Help Wanted is a new offering, which returns the scary experience in one virtual reality bundle.
The game is a collection of classic and original mini-games set in the Five Nights universe. You will still play the role of the late-night caretaker, who does his nightly job while keeping an eye on the animatronics. Speaking of animatronics, your favorite killer robots are back. Not only that but scenes from the four Friday Nights at Freddy’s and Five Nights at Freddy’s: Sister Location are updated and remade.
However, that does not mean that the experience will be the same. While the premises are similar, the intensity is turned up even further. For one, playing in VR mode makes the mild horror scenes worse than normal. Additionally, the game is rife with jumpscares, no matter where you go. Finally, you can unlock rare collectibles, such as toys, plushies, and bobbleheads by playing the interactive Prize Counter.
Is the game good?
Overall, Five Nights at Freddy’s VR: Help Wanted takes the already popular game to a new height. Sure, it has the same gameplay as the original title. However, with the added VR option, the scary experience is even more intensified. It also has a great visual impact, which makes the game more terrifying. Although, after playing for a while, the initial shock from the constant barrage of jumpscares can wane.
