    Mascot horror dominates the video game industry, but this game takes the cake with its unique use of the trend. The game effectively uses its strong points to its advantage to bring fear into players. Instead of using jumpscares to create fear, it builds tension to spook the player. It creates an illusion of being safe when in reality, the danger is still lurking within. As this is the first chapter, it is relatively short, only ranging from 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on the player. Even with its short time frame, it packs an impressive punch into what's to come into future chapters. Poppy Playtime could easily be one of the best indie games released this year from its production quality and effective use of scares.

The puzzles require barely any thought, there's only a single chase scene involving what's SUPPOSED to be the villan of the chapter, I could go on. It's clear that MobGames are just trying to rush this game to completion to sell merch and try and keep the hype going. The icing on the cake of crap is that some KEY STORY ELEMENTS are locked behind NFTs. That's scummy to a whole new level. Full Review »

    The game is about 30 to 45 minutes long, you get to see the enemy once or twice and they introduce the puzzle mechanics. That's about it. What should've been a demo, is 4 € on Steam. Despite its short playtime, the developer tries to sell tons of merch and NFTs to an obviously juvenile target audience. Disgusting.

    Deutsch:
    Das Spiel ist ca. 30-45 Minuten lang, man sieht 1-2 Mal den Gegner und die Puzzle-Mechanik wird einem vorgestellt. Das war's eigentlich. Was eine Demo hätte sein müssen, kostet bei Steam 4€. Trotz sehr kurzer Spielzeit versucht der Entwickler bereits tonnenweise Merch und NFTs an eine offensichtlich jugendliche Zielgruppe zu verkaufen. Einfach nur ekelhaft.
