User blog:TheFazDude/Fan Game Reviews 24: Jolly 3

Hey everyone! Today I'll be reviewing Jolly 3 by IvanG! Hey, that rhymes!

I know that I haven't exactly reviewed Jolly 2 yet, but since the third game has recently released, I decided to review it now and save Jolly 2 for another day. Jolly 3 is probably one of the fangames I was the most excited for all year. Is it any good, though? Well, without any further ado, let's start the review!

Story: 8/10
In this game, you play as someone who's responsible for salvaging bits and pieces from an old Jollibee's location. However, the animatronics are still alive and kicking, and out to get you.

I won't spoil much else, but it's good to see a new role for our protagonist other than a security guard or another type of overnight employee.

Gameplay: 8/10
This game's gameplay is very similar to FNaF 3's. There are two windows on each side of the office, and there's a lever in the front that'll release gas. This gas will make animatronics leave the office, but it needs to be recharged every so often. Also, there's fans, which provide oxygen to the building. If a fan breaks, your vision will start fading to black, and you'll be attacked by phantom versions of Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy. In order to avoid death by oxygen loss, you'll need to find the broken fan and repair it.

Jolly 3's gameplay isn't very hectic, but it will keep you on your toes and wary of whatever's going on outside your office.

Graphics: 9/10
The graphics in this game are pretty darn good! The opening cutscene is amazing, the building itself looks realistic enough, and the numerous amount of design choices Ivan made make the game a lot more realistic.

Audio: 7/10
The soundtrack's pretty good. I can only remember the opening music and the Extras menu music, but they are darn good songs. Also, this game rips some sounds from Bendy and the Ink Machine, which is kinda unoriginal, but other than that, the soundtrack is nice to listen to.

Replay Value: 9/10
This game has an Extras menu, a Custom Night, and a behind-the-scenes section. That's a lot of content already, but the Extras menu itself looks like an old computer menu, which I really enjoyed.

Grand Total: 41/50 (82) (B-)
Jolly 3 is one of the best fangames I've reviewed in quite a while. Part of that is thanks to the Summer Sendoff Review Show, but even then, Jolly 3 is pretty great. The game is very appealing to the eye, the gameplay is fun, and there's tons of replay value to keep you busy. Definitely pick this game up when you get the chance.

Next time, we're FINALLY going back to the Mushroom Kingdom for another five nights of scares. Took us long enough, right?

Until then, stay grand!
