Concluding Thoughts on FNaF: Help Wanted 2

Just kidding, there is a lot more to talk about. Again, I will keep it spoiler free for anyone who accidentally stumbles onto this and wants to avoid being spoiled.

To start, the game is very well made! Another testament to the fact that Steel Wool can make good games when given the time to fully complete it. Security Breach tarnished their reputation but all of the other FNaF games they've made have been high quality, except the one that sort of mattered. Anywho, Help Wanted 2 comes across as another attempt by SW to patch up the plot holes in the story they are crafting that SB/Ruin opened up, similarly to why they made Help Wanted.

The minigames in Help Wanted 2 are much more carnival-esque and arcade-like than the first game, less of the cyclical night-shifts at each of the locations you play in the first 4 FNaF games. [Though there is one set of minigames that still do that.] It is a lot of fun and there is a healthy variety of them and most importantly, none feel too difficult/unfair like how a certain Plushbaby minigame was in its previous game. Everything comes across as totally up to skill and whenever I failed it was because I goofed up rather than just bad luck. However, none felt very difficult. Maybe it is because I'm already a highly respected Fazbear Ent. employee, but most of the minigames were able to be completed either first try or within four to five tries.

Aesthetic! I love the art style and vibe of HW2! I always was a huge fan of the 2D art and a lot of the decor in SB and that very much carried over into HW2. Though, that does mean a lot of the levels don't feel particularly scary because of how bright, fun, and colorful some are. Emphasis on some, not all are like that. I will say again, there may be bias to that statement because I haven't been scared by a FNaF game in years from desensitization.

That is about all I can think of to talk about currently that won't spoil any of the game content. Concluding thoughts? Game is good. Review over.
