The wild variety of star ratings for this game speaks volumes to just how confusing and messy of a game Security Breach is. It's got so, so much potential, but it's a game that's far too ambitious for its own good.
It's fun to run around the Pizzaplex and discover some weird hallway that leads to a bakery or a hair salon that could have been missed entirely, but that just demonstrates how poorly laid out the mall is in relation to the storied path in the game. Your wonder and amazement is replaced with you wishing that the area was better fleshed out and presented with more purpose. Every collectible you find gives you that satisfaction of achievement as you now feel justified in your excessive exploration, but then you're reminded that this is your 7th novelty t-shirt and it's just going to spend the rest of the game hidden behind a buggy menu tab with the other 50 useless pngs you've found.
One of FNAF's greatest hooks is its story, but even that feels unsatisfying. Its overly ambiguous nature means you won't even feel like the story has ended when you finally fight your way to the end of the main game. You'll have so many questions and the game refuses to answer any of them. Why does Freddy help you? What's the deal with Vanny? Why are there like 6 different endings to the game and which one is the canon one? "Figure it out yourself," answers Security Breach, without giving you enough cohesive clues to even attempt to do so.
This is where I was going to write about how poorly the game introduces "difficulty" over the course of its runtime, but I couldn't do it without ranting about how insanely frustrating and broken Chica is. Just know that 9 times out of 10 you're going to be blaming the game for killing you rather than feeling it was you who failed to adapt to an increase in challenge.
Security Breach lives in my head almost every day because I spent 45 bucks on it last year and I still can't stop imagining how much better it could have been. In the end, the most fun you will have with this game is just watching someone else play it on YouTube. You can watch some other sucker struggle with the game-breaking bugs and 300 staff bots and it won't even cost you a dime.
