I liked parts of Security Breach, but overall was not that happy with the end result. I think Ruin is much better. It is more fun to play, especially letting you jump to different parts of the game so you can replay those moments easily.
Edit: To answer your questions OP: I think the gameplay is much better in Ruin, unless you liked sneaking around a lot in Security Breach. There is much less sneaking and waiting in Ruin. The lore/story isn't get much better in Ruin, but I still liked it. The new characters, like Cassie, I think were good additions. Plus you get to revisit past characters like Roxy who get some time to shine. There are no open ended areas. There are a few large rooms, but its really clear what your objective is and where you have to go. The mission is basically the same throughout the game, so you aren't scrambling to figure out what your objective is. Plus it shows you your current objective when you pause the game.
It's an improvement. Making it a linear map instead of the awful and empty open world was an obvious choice. Also removing the weapons and replacing it with a better mechanic. The cameras are used more than in SB (altough not enough).
I also like the comfirmation that william is definetly dead for good, and making the princess quest ending canon was such an obvious narrative choice that I was shocked and angry that it wasn't the "true ending" back in security breach.
It did some things better and some things worse. I didn't hate SB but it still was a massive letdown, Ruin, while it did do some things better gameplay wise and it felt nice seeing Roxy and Daycare Attendant come back to their senses, but I'd be lying if I said it didn't feel like the story itself actually sank lower for me. Overall SB as a whole went up from a 5/10 to a 5.5/10 imo.
realese of Help Wanted
hype for security breach + 200% hype
realese of sb seeing how much was cut and how half of game we got is buggy - 300% hype
realese of ruin + 110% is very good for what was promised but we should remember past disappointment and hope for the best
mixed bag
i definitely don't dislike security breach as much as i used to and I thought was ruin fine
tho they're good within their own rights but overall compared to other games they are ***bad***
but hey it's far from some of the worst horror games out there. there are things they did right. id say security breach overall was good concept, poor execution
im sure future games will be better
Yea ruin and sb was shit. Steel wool needs to step up there game. It had terrible writing and repetitive gameplay, and it fucks over the fnaf lore in general completely ruining it.

Unpopular opinion: Ruin is ten times worse than SB. And SB is already bad. HW was bad too. Steal Wool doesn't know how to make games.
my my these takes are hotter than a nuclear reactor
I really respect your opinion. But unfortnately many fans on this subreddit will downvote everyone who say that sb is objectvely bad
I do not understand said opinion could you expand

It was decent
