Poppy Playtime review

Poppy Playtime is a horror-puzzle game developed and published by indie developer MOB Games. The game is set in an abandoned toy factory and tasks players with solving puzzles and avoiding the vengeful plush toys that inhabit the factory. The game has garnered significant hype throughout the gaming community and delivers on its promise of a horrifying and tense experience.

Gameplay

Poppy Playtime is a first-person horror game that tasks players with exploring an abandoned toy factory and solving puzzles. The game is heavily reliant on its puzzles, which are often solved by using the Grabpack, a tool that allows players to grab objects from a distance. 

The puzzles are often straightforward but provide a decent challenge. The game also features a number of scares, with the most popular toy in the factory, Huggy Wuggy, actively following players and trying to catch them. 

If caught, Huggy Wuggy will eat the player, resulting in a game over. The game is relatively short, taking two to three hours to complete, but features a number of collectibles that add to the game’s replay value.

Graphics

The graphics in Poppy Playtime are adequate. The game's environment is generally well-designed and looks like it belongs in a toy factory. The character models are passable but look a little dated.

Controls

The controls in Poppy Playtime are generally good. Movement in the game is smooth and the controls are responsive. The only problem that occurs is with the backpack grip, which can be a bit difficult to use accurately. However, this is a relatively minor problem and does not detract from the game.

Replayability

Poppy Playtime has decent replay value. The main story of the game can be completed in two to three hours, but the game has a number of collectibles that add to the experience. These collectibles include VHS tapes that tell the game's story, notes containing backstory, and plush toys hidden in various places. Finding all these collectibles adds value to the game and makes it worth replaying.

Conclusion

Poppy Playtime is a feel-good game in the horror genre that delivers on its promise of an intense and scary experience. The puzzles in the game are well-designed and provide a decent challenge, and there are plenty of scares. The graphics are decent, and the controls are good.
