10 Video Game Franchises That Need To Die

10. Five Nights At Freddy's

While this franchise is certainly on thin ice, it's not dead yet.

The first Five Nights At Freddy's became common amongst the Let's Play community for it's refreshing take on survival horror. But after releasing five games in just over two years, the franchise simply wore out the player base.

The issue with Five Nights At Freddy's is that it can't really go anywhere. It relies on jump-scares and constantly ratcheting up the tension, but beyond these gameplay loops, never really changes. By the time the fourth game was released, all this repetitive gameplay had grown stale.

This showed in a sharp downturn in its critical reception, and the FNAF 4 received the lowest rating in the series.

Although there was an uptick in approval for the fifth release, FNAF 5 was becoming more of a chore than an enjoyable experience. The custom creations had been removed, along with difficulty options. This seriously harmed its replay value, and produced only mediocre reviews.

While creator Scott Cawthon has temporarily halted any further sequels due to personal reasons, the potential for another instalment isn't warming any hearts in the community right now.
