    An intriguing puzzle-premise buried behind a clumsy rigid horror backdrop, "Poppy Playtime," certainly has some good things going for it, but how much to differentiate itself from other recent horror title remain to be seen. The opening is fairly ambiguous, featuring a toy commercial for a sort of artificial life enhanced doll from a toy company dead set on creating extremely creepy toysAn intriguing puzzle-premise buried behind a clumsy rigid horror backdrop, "Poppy Playtime," certainly has some good things going for it, but how much to differentiate itself from other recent horror title remain to be seen. The opening is fairly ambiguous, featuring a toy commercial for a sort of artificial life enhanced doll from a toy company dead set on creating extremely creepy toys that no child would ever buy. Once you jump in you arrive at a fairly dilapidated toy factory/ museum that functions like no real location ever would with a sort of backpack contraption with stretchy hands that can grab onto surface, object, connect live wires, etc. This central core to game play allows you to manipulate certain objects to solve puzzles, but as far I know, grabbing buttons to wrap your fake stretchy toy arms around comically large electric poles is not only non-sensical, but a huge waste of company resources. No wonder they shut down!

    Since the initial episode is rather short, and features a particularly fuzzy wuzzy toy coming after you towards the end in a somewhat contrived chase sequence, it hard to get a full picture of what this will eventually turn into- though I hope its something interesting. The general performance is a bit of a blunder though and even on a 2080ti I could see periodic framedrops even when nothing was really going on. The sound design is also a bit lacking, but the general aesthetic and music are fairly chilling.    … Expand

    É um bom jogo, pelo menos se importou em inovar um pouco no gênero de terror. Bom, as cenas de terror mesmo são ótimas, mas é algo muito scriptado, o que é meio desanimador em um jogo com essa proposta, mas até aí tudo bem. Entretanto, a parte dos puzzles é muito maçante, longa e desnecessária.

    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.
