User blog:TheFazDude/Fan Game Reviews 17: Those Nights at Rachel's

Hey everybody, and welcome to the Summer Sendoff Review Show! For the next five days, I'll be uploading a new Fan Game Review every day! The first game on the agenda is Those Nights at Rachel's by Nikson. Without any further ado, let's start the review!

Story: 8/10
This game takes place in Doug and Rachel's, a rival of sorts to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. However, the interesting part is that the owners of the former (DAR) are stealing items from FFP for their own pizzeria. Playing as a night watchman, you must protect the pizzeria for five nights while fighting back against a horde of angry animatronics.

The reason I gave this game a higher score is because the intense rivalry between DAR and FFP supports lots of the game's lore.

Gameplay: 7/10
This fangame is simple, but fun. You must check the cameras for the animatronics, close the doors if they get near, and check the back room to keep the entity known as "The Thing" at bay. However, unlike most fangames, this one relies heavily on keyboard imput. You need a keyboard to move around, close doors, change the cameras, and do pretty much everything. This isn't too big of an issue for me, but it can be hard for someone to remember every last keyboard function.

Also, the cameras aren't as easy to view as most fangames. If you wanna view a certain camera, you have to flick through every camera until you find it. There's no minimap; you have to manually find the camera you want to view. This is extremely annoying, expecially on later nights.

Graphics: 9/10
Nikson does it again! This game's graphics are fantastic. The animatronics look amazing, the rooms look great, everything's just awesome.

Audio: 8/10
I will admit, most of the game's soundtrack is very forgettable. However, the phone calls are very memorable, expecially Night 5's. I'll leave the exact details for you to discover. ;)

Replay Value: 7/10
Sadly, there isn't much replay value. There is a "Hard Mode" version of the game, but it is a completely different file than the main game, so I won't be counting it.

Grand Total: 39/50 (78) (C+)
All in all, TNaR is a great game. It has amazing graphics and a deep story. Players might find the controls annoying, but if you get the hang of them, the game's pretty fun to play. Check it out sometime.

Until next time, stay grand!
