Five Nights at Freddy's VR: Help Wanted is the real deal.

Five Nights at Freddy's VR: Help Wanted offers delicious bite size horror VR experiences, and the variety of the offer will make you overlook the series' known defects.

Five Nights at Freddy's VR: Help Wanted scares in an ingenious and original way and ensures several hours of chills and jumping out of your chair. What more do you want from a VR horror game?

In addition to being frighteningly dense in terms of content, Help Wanted is also the most terrifying and anxious episode in Scott Cawthon's horror saga.

This is probably the best game in the series. A fantastic collection of jump scares, but in a way that makes more sense that ever before.

While it may be difficult to play for very long before your heart rate spikes, it delivers the most consistent and unnerving jumps of any VR horror game out there, held back only by its repetition and lack of variety — both of which are still worth overlooking.

Five Nights at Freddy’s VR: Help Wanted is a great introduction to the franchise, packaging a number of levels from various games in the series. Though the first three games are the strongest, some of the other levels are fun in their own right. Less fun is wrestling with the controls, particularly since a giant demonic chicken is going to scream in your face if you mess up. The scares are there, but the controls could use some additional polish.

One of the most unique terror games out there now available for the VR market. Despite some move-tracking problems (specially with the DualShock 4 pad), it´s a really intriguing title.

A really clever use of VR that makes us feel true horror. Also, a good mix of all the previous games, but the optimization for the DualShock is quite terrible.

Five Nights at Freddy’s VR: Help Wanted is by far the best entry in the series, but that doesn’t mean it’s a great game overall, nor a game suited for everyone: even with VR, it’s still a love it or hate it matter.
