The animatronic phenomenon continues today with the release of Five Nights at Freddy's 3. Currently only available for PC via Steam for $7.99, FNAF 3 takes place 30 years after the events of the first two games and features new gameplay mechanics to reflect the change of observing one animatronic this time around.
Watching only one of these guys doesn't sound too bad, but I'm sure the game will still be full of tense moments and jumpscares!
"Thirty years after Freddy Fazbear's Pizza closed it's doors, the events that took place there have become nothing more than a rumor and a childhood memory, but the owners of "Fazbear's Fright: The Horror Attraction" are determined to revive the legend and make the experience as authentic as possible for patrons, going to great lengths to find anything that might have survived decades of neglect and ruin.
At first there were only empty shells, a hand, a hook, an old paper-plate doll, but then a remarkable discovery was made...
The attraction now has one animatronic."

Fenix Rage is a 2D-platformer in the
vein of Super Meat Boy, although it has some unique features that
help differentiate itself from that tough title. While still a
challenging game in itself, Fenix Rage is accompanied by some tight yet simple controls (The game urges to you use a controller) and fun gameplay that help ease the frustration that the
later levels in the game can bring.
For your $15, you'll be
receiving a game with hundreds of levels with new elements being
introduced to the main platforming mechanic as you progress through
the worlds as you attempt to make it through each stage in a
reasonable time – all while picking up those elusive chocolate
chip cookies.
The plot of Fenix Rage isn't the
primary attraction, but there is a story to be had. The basic premise
is that Fenix is an alien creature seeking out a shadowy figure named
Oktarus whose presence is a cause for suspicion after Fenix's village
is destroyed. To get to him, you'll have to get by the multiple
stages that are comprised of the game's world, each with a different
theme and flow.
As you progress, you'll find yourself dying more and
more, but this is to be expected – Fenix Rage is all about trial
and error. Frustration can appear sometimes, so what I would myself
is take a break from a specific level after failing over and over
again, and coming back after a break and taking on the level after
stepping away.
Fenix is a pretty fast character, and
you're able to quickly move through the level, thanks to the
infinite dashing and jumping possible. Sometimes there will be levels
that require you to stay in mid-air as you avoid obstacles, but
you'll also encounter times where slowing down will be the way to go
as well.
There's a nice flow to the game in this sense, as you're not
playing the same level over and over again with a different enemy
layout, which is surprise given that the game has over 200 levels to
check out and more coming down the line in the form of DLC.
Visually, Fenix Rage is a nice looking
title with colorful sprites. Fenix himself sports brown and blue as
his primary colors, but there are some environments in the game where
I found it difficult to spot where I was, which caused a few deaths
towards the end of a level. Most times my death meant I made a wrong
move or tried to go through too fast, but there were also times where I forget where I was as Fenix blended into the environment and got hit by an enemy before I could find him again.
This doesn't happen too frequently however, and it might have just been
more on myself not seeing where the little guy went since I'm the one
in control of him to begin with.
The soundtrack is pretty cool as well,
with electric/rock beats that also feel very 8-bit at times as well,
at least to my ears.
Recent Reviews
Overall, Fenix Rage is a fun, fast,
sometimes frustrating title, but very rewarding when you conquer
those tougher levels. If you game on PC, be sure to check it out, or
countdown to its release for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 when it
arrives next year for those consoles.
+ Fun and fast challenging gameplay
+ Tons of levels to play and worlds to explore that introduce small changes to the game
