10 Video Games That Are More Fun To Watch Than Play
7. Five Nights At Freddy's
With the rising popularity of the game watching industry, it was inevitable that a few companies would start making games meant to become internet sensations by their very design. Of them, you can argue that none has achieved the same level of success that Five Nights At Freddy's enjoys.
The joy of watching Five Nights At Freddy's be played is similar to the pleasure of going to a horror movie on Halloween. While you're certainly watching for the thrill of being scared, there's also a communal element to it that just enhances the experience. There's a dark pleasure that comes from seeing how different people react to being scared, and Five Nights At Freddys' brand of jump scare horror manages to catch just about everyone in a moment of pure terror at some point during the game.
As a game, Five Nights is kind of a mixed bag. As a cheesy horror film you share with others, it's a modern-day classic.
