FNAF 3 is not my favorite game in the series. It dials back a lot in terms of its scope and scale. There’s only one thing that can kill you, everything else just affects your ability to perform tasks. The location is much less iconic and less easy to tell where stuff is. At the same time, Springtrap is easily one of my favorite characters in the series. The game itself is far less of a gameplay loop, and you have to be much more adaptable than the ones that come before it. You constantly feel at risk because you officially have no way to defends yourself. No doors, no masks, and no flashlights. All you can do is try to maneuver Springtrap around the facility like he’s a dog on a leash. While the game is certainly muddy, it’s also extremely iconic visually. No game I’ve ever played looks like FNAF 3. Overall, I find the game more fun than 2, even if it’s less ambitious, and a pretty engaging finale to the original trilogy, and a great introduction to the main antagonist of the series, William Afton.

A very fair and well-worded review. After seeing some of the other reviews on this site for it, this was a nice change of pace. And agreed, I LOVE the visual style of the game.
