Security Breach: My Personal Review (Part 1)

So, I was, uh... not exactly the best last week and took some time off for myself. And I thought “you know what, Security Breach is coming out soon...” and... so, yeah. I watched Superhorrobro play it, and ultimately I realized I was pretty indifferent towards the game. Because, tbh, its a waste of effort to be annoyed at a game that took one-and-a-half years to come out. Obviously there are going to be problems.

[[Side-note: <specifically directed to all the people (a lot of which are anons) who don’t understand how constructive-criticism works and enjoy being angsty like a bunch of 14-year-olds> Getting pissed and trying to stir arguments at the development team also doesn’t help. Conflict never resolves anything, actually. They did a pretty good job and need a break.]]

Like, I'll be honest. Out of all the things I was expecting to come from Steel Wool, a sequel to Pizza Simulator was... definitely not one of them.

So. This is what we’re doing. If you have any questions, send me an ask. If you have any complaints, leave a comment. I’m always open for anyone’s perspective onto this. So *cracks knuckles* let’s do this.

Security Breach isn’t Bad... Just a Mess

Yep. You heard me folks. It’s not a bad game. It really isn’t. I’d recommend to someone if they’re completely new to the FNAF series, or if they just want to. But my god, it’s a bit of a mess. Not a HOT mess like FNAF World (we don’t speak of that game), but definitely a mess. Think of it more like Bendy and the Ink Machine when it only had its first two chapters.

Honestly, the kind of vibes I was getting, personally, was that Steel Wool was trying to make the biggest FNAF game to tie up the William Afton arc for good. And ultimately this flunked.

The problem isn’t the bugs or the glitches or the way it was released or the price or fact that it has a 70 GB file size (yes its odd that a FNAF game out of any game would have this much data. And yes it is really aggravating that this file size negatively effects people who don’t have a good enough PC to actually hold this much data). It’s actually what the game wants to be that’s the problem. There are two factors into this:

Its size

Its plotline

The Factors Tie Together

There’s a lot to do, and with the inclusion of 7 individual endings, means you can plan out whatever you want to do. And that can be a problem.

Like, okay, so. Security Breach’s first teaser and then its gameplay trailer made was pretty much marketed as a follow-up to Help Wanted. And while yes, this kind of (keyword being kind of) was the case, anything involving Glitchtrap and William Afton being resurrected by Vanny didn’t really matter. He was an optional boss.

The reason I say this is a sequel to Pizza Simulator because in what you can do with the game. While the mechanics are fantastic and the visuals are great, you can literally play the entire game as Gregory to avoid the animatronics stealthily and defeat them without even bothering with Vanny / Glitchtrap. I mean, yeah, they’re both over-arching antagonists, but again... if you remove them from the equation, it doesn’t really... matter? If the whole point of the game was to present a time-limit to survive the Pizzaplex before Gregory could escape, why even have Vanny? It doesn’t really make much of a difference.

The number of endings doesn’t also help. Multiple endings isn’t necessarily a bad thing, in fact it allows a few options: Good, Bad, and [sometimes] Canon/True Ending. Each pertain to how the player feels about completing the game if . But having 7 is... excessive, to say the very least. Not only is the player expected to do specific requirements in the game (which are pretty obscure, I’ll cover this in Part 2), but what are they supposed to get out of it. Satisfaction? Resentment? Interest in theorizing? A lot of these endings can ultimately be tied together, like Vanny & Glamrock Freddy getting disassembled is basically the same fate as them falling off the building. Gregory going with Vanessa and Freddy is similar to him living his life on the run with Freddy in the van. It’s just... kind of arbitrary, and it only feels as though they were include to make this a big FNAF game.

... okay, I just realized while tying this (yes I am that idiotic sometimes) that this review is going to be very big and very specific, so. Examples that can be changed/improved will be examined in Part 2, tomorrow. I’m aiming for 9:45 PM Eastern-Standard Time, but if its late, well, that’s probably the result of my brain screaming at me to go to bed. So... yeah.

Again, feel free to send to an ask or comment if you have anything to say. Sorry for posting this so late. There’s just a lot to cover here. So if it feels as though I’m leaving out any details, that will be seen in Part 2. Goodnight!

Dumping my thoughts connected to Lancer

I really, really want the next few Chapters to give Lancer an extended family.

Like, we already had Queen. But if Lancer gets new family members, I kind of want to see him getting a sister and the two sharing a “mutual hate” for each other, but secretly have a deep care/affection for each other (Side-note: I don’t think her name would be “Princess”, and tbh I don’t really know, this is just a random thought. That is unless her name is Princess, but she prefers to be called “Prince” for short. Idk just a thought.)

Not to mention that GIGA Queen has a diamond symbol on her, making her in a weird way the Queen of Diamonds, perhaps Lancer’s sister could be a psuedo-representation of the Jack of Diamonds, or something like that. Albeit, her light-world counterpart would be something else entirely.

& this could expand further. We could get Duke or Duchess / Count or Countess or even Baron / Barroness; uncles/aunts who knows? A royal family could be build! Each would adopt Lancer as one of their own!

Regarding the last post, I want to make one thing clear:

I don’t believe in astrology and mysticism

Like, it’s a perfectly fine idea when it comes with making up fantasy stories, but when you apply it to real life it just comes across as a bit too... weird. I honestly find the idea of a star constellation or simply a literal symbol defining who you are as a person pretty bonkers, particularly because we as people are defined by our own actions/choices we make in our everyday life. Putting your full faith into something that doesn’t have the same level of sentience as human beings, for me, it’s just, again, weird.

And yeah, it can be shocking that signs can be arcuate for who you are, but... well... aren’t we defined by what we do in life rather than what we are born as? If this is true, then does that mean that growth and change is impossible? That our lives are just one giant game planned out from the very beginning?

By saying that this is true, I’m not trying to say “astrology and tarot card meanings are bad for you”, I’m just saying I don’t, and I think that people, shouldn’t take it too seriously. I know I’m going to get others a little pissed (maybe), but this is simply my opinion. Putting too much faith into something that clearly is, well, ridiculous it very much limits thinking about oneself & perspective on how the world works. Like, just, its obvious when something goes too far.

(Side-note: Oh yeah, and I know some people are going to be stupid enough to say “oh this guy thinks astrology and card symbolism is bad, what next religion?”. Just... no. Religion has nothing to do with this. Please, if you think, stop. Like, actually stop. Again, religion is entirely different subject, and I won’t talk about it because I know that it can be a touchy subject for some people. So... yeah. Just want to make stuff clear)
