I've played this game 3 years after the release and it's STILL AN UNFINISHED, BUGGY mess.
The Good:
- The Pizzaplex looks amazing, it just makes you want to roam its hallways all day long.
- The animatronic designs are pretty cool.
- Sun and Moon are awesome.
- Monty's area is peak perfect design.
The Bad:
- There are several gamebreaking bugs. If I didn't create a different save file every time, i would have had to restart the game 5 times, because it softlocked. I fell through the map just by walking around, getting out of a hiding place threw me into the void, a door remained locked when I had to go through, animatronics got stuck in walls and on furniture. Even the final bossfight is buggy. It's just ridiculous.
- The map is terrible. The whole Pizzaplex is huge and you literally have no idea where you need to go. At the beginning, it is said that the mission will be marked on your map, but there are no marks on the map, ever. Good luck finding your mission's place somewhere in this huge damn plaza.
- Horrible gameplay mechanics. Sometimes it's random if the roaming roomba security bots notice you or not. The animatronics teleport all over the map, making it unfair. Was Chica behind you when you left a room? Now she is in front of you somehow, too bad, deal with it.
- Sneaking is useless, why does the one "blind" animatronic "hear" you, when you are sneaking?
- Some puzzles are horrible. F-ck Mazercise and the DJ MM area in particular.
- Vanny. Vanny, the "big bad" of this game, shows up a total of 1 time. Not like she does anything that time, she just hops around like the lunatic she is. What a great villain. I'm pretty sure they scrapped her scenes for some reason.
- William, this hot garbage of a man, also appears, but not even he knows why. Maybe he saw that Vanny was useless, idk. It was likely a last minute idea, so it makes total sense.
- F-ck the saving system. At 6 AM, it gets turned off and you can't even use the previously known cheat that allowed you to save again. They updated that, but none of the bugs, good job. So, after you get to 6 AM, all you have is a total of 1 existing saving point, in a huge, buggy map that can softlock you at any point.
- There are security lvl 9-10 rooms, but the highest security badge you can find is 8, which makes those rooms inaccessible. Also, as I know, there is nothing but the void behind them. So why are they there? It just makes no sense.
Shame on everyone who decided to skip the quality testing of this game, and on anyone who decides to update the Mazercise code every other month instead of fixing the bugs.
