Review
As a newcomer to modern Five Nights at Freddies games, Into the Ballpit provides a short and engaging telling of how Oswald (The main character) finds himself tangled in the events that kicks off the series.
The Retro graphics provide a mostalgic feel to the game, but they did take away from the jumpscares and moments of tension, which I found myself having in the origninal games(s).
The gameply loop, feeling largely like a game of cat and mouse was fun and added a hint of strategy to the game. I felt like I had to actually think about how to get from place A to place B which was a pleasant supprise.
I finnished the game in a little over 5 hours which made it a short but sweet experience.
Overall, I enjoyed my time playing Into the Ball pit and would recommend to those who are familiar with the series in any capacity.
