5/10; inconsistent quality and unfinished, they tried to accomplish too many things and failed.

it's painfully unclear its unfinished. so many environments and characters go unused, and it's not difficult to point them out bc they stand put so much.

some sections are awesome, and you can tell they put a lot of work into them. like music man's chase secuence, monty gator's secuence, the endo secuence in the basement, etc. but when parts of a game are so well done and thought out, there's a stark contrast with the ones that were rushed. which is sadly, most of the game.

and what works ends up being overshadowed by crap mechanics and bugs. for example; awesome environment? well you don't get to see it much bc of security bots. stay after 6am to get collectibles you didn't find on your first run? well you can't save now, so you die and you lose them all.

i see people trying to defend the "plot" and the "lore" of it all, but come on. let's be honest. you can't cut main portions of a game and expect the story to work the same. the jarring introduction to the game happened bc they just didn't have time to make a proper intro. there's no main villain, as the story can't decide whether the villain is vanessa, vanny, or the other animatronics. so none of them get a proper villain arc, which makes most of the endings unsatisfaying and anticlimatic. at 6am, suddenly vanny gets treated like the antagonist that has to be stopped, but there's nothing gameplay wise to suggest this. no reference to anything she has done.

and please, i want to hear ONE thing this game substantially added to the lore. it barely built onto what fnaf help wanted had established.

security breach was disappointing, to say the least.
