Poppy Playtime

This game has A LOT of potential, Even though the first chapter felt more like a demo more than anything and was only like 20 minutes long, This game is really promising!

First of all, The environment looks fantastic, The old abandoned factory setting (while yes, it has been done before a lot) is really cool, The puzzles with the packbag hands thingy were really unique cool too, Really wish more horror games had more of these type of gimmicks, and the animations were fantastic, Especially the chase sequence near the end, Oh my god, My heart was racing like crazy, It was SO GOOD, Huggy Wuggy's movements and animations combined with the sound design were absolutely terrifying!

And you could tell that the people behind this game REALLY knew what they were doing, with all the lore, history and tapes they wrote for this game and the amazing cutscene in the beginning, You could Clearly tell that a lot of care and love went into the making of this game.

I just hope this game doesn't go the FNaF route.. Don't get me wrong there's nothing wrong with having some inspiration from another big indie horror title, But I just hope this game will be It's own thing, and not just another game made for YouTubers so they can make like 300 videos theorizing about the characters and lore so kids could watch them and give them millions of views, You know what am I talking if you have been on YouTube long enough..

So yeah to summarize it for you, This game was a pleasant experience, Not gonna lie, It's kinda hard to judge the game right now with only one chapter out, and I'm kinda curious to see what will they do in the future, Will Huggy be the main antagonist of the game? Will the backpack still be the main game mechanic or will we get a new tool every chapter to solve puzzles with?.. I don't know really, But either way I will be checking out what else this game has to offer in the next chapters, but until then I'm pretty satisfied with my rating.

6/10.

Poppy Playtime has been apart of my life for almost 4 years! It's got fun and unique gameplay, a great story, good performance, and the Mob Entertainment team has been actively growing to make each chapter bigger and bigger! Each chapter has improved in some way. Chapter 2 being an improvement with a longer length, Chapter 3 featuring more horror, and Chapter 4 having a better story. Can't wait for Chapter 5 and other Poppy Playtime Projects in the works!

This game and the people behind it fell off spectacularly in a way I couldn't have imagined. The company behind it is effectively a minecraft mascot horror animation content farm, with people behind it that actively rip on other content creators that try to do things that are similar, to the point of making entire youtube channels about it. The game itself was kinda obviously made to be a merchandising cash cow, with plushes, merch, and nft's galore. The game uses the chapter format first seen in bendy and the ink machine, in which both first chapters are effectively demos to show what the rest of the game may look like, and feature a 2nd chapter in which you go further down into the games setting, with a new antagonist that is different from the antagonist of the first. BatIM does this much better, as it's much more stylized and smaller environment help build tension, especially with it's 2 colors, though Poppy Playtime has a much wider color palette, which takes away from it's fear factor. What's worse is the price, as Poppy Playtimes team decided to make the first chapter free, but double the price of the 2nd chapter compared to the first's, which is an extremely scummy move.

Don't give any money to the people behind this "passion" project.

Wait, what about boxy boo?

Omg the from the grab pack to mommy long legs this game is the best in graphics, gameplay, and so much more! This game is the best especially Huggy wuggy.

Ever since FNAF the recent term "Mascot Horror" has been thrown around for years now. It's predecessor, Bendy and the Ink Machine, was an amazing and original game with an exciting and intriguing sequel. "Poppy Playtime" seemed like just another one of these FNAF-inspired games; until this game. The quaility, hype, production, and character design that was seen in it's past games tripled, and you can tell alot of love and support was put into this one. From Miss Delight's mechanic and jumpscare to CatNap's backstory and design, it's hard to belive that this is an indie game at all. Never before has such gore and viscera been included in a Mascot Horror game. This is a must-play and is going to shape the way people think of Mascot Horror.
