I think it depends on how you write “WarioWare” and “rip-off,” but I feel like I’ve approximated it as well as I can....

I’m a little embarrassed to admit it now, as a 25-year-old man-child, that I used to be more than a little obsessed withFive Nights at Freddy’s. The first three games released when I was in secondary school (sorry), so my friends and I used to spend countless lunch breaks getting jumpscared, which I’d then follow up with endless theory videos andwiki deep-dives to try and figure out what the heck Golden Freddy is....

With RPG mechanics and tactical combat left to the wayside, the game instead went for full-on character action combat, and mostly succeeds, though ends up being packed with side content more trivial than the series has ever seen. The Rising Tide DLC on the other hand rectifies many of those issues in its runtime, which is quite admirable considering its length....
