Poppy Playtime Chapter 4 Opinion (Spoilers!!!)

Article


Where do I even start? I guess with the rating.

Total rating : 5.5/10.

A downgrade from Chapter 3 (In some ways.)

Firstly, the graphics, they changed the whole style to look more "cinematic", which I wasn't really fond of it but I got used to it eventually. Some areas looked like UE4 graphics (The Chapter uses UE5), and lots of lightmass issues.

Gameplay wise, other than the "Omni-hand' thingy (Which does absolutely nothing other than opening doors that require the red hand) no new hand, which honestly is kind of dissapointing.

They also changed a bit of the controls which is eh, no big deal, but they've def changed the physics of the grabpack which i didn't really like.

Also, while at it, the game's gameplay core was spilt into 3 factors (atleast for me.)

First part being absolutely frustating and confusing.

Second part is the scare factor (almost non existent)

Third part is boredom.

Lore wise is honestly not too bad, although it def seems like they changed a bit during the chapter's development.

The release was also pretty buggy and sometimes laggy, at the start i had no big deal with performence but as i continued through the game it just started to become laggier and laggier (which reminds me of chapter 2 remaster)

The Doctor bossfight was absolutely frustating and trash, all you do is just run around replicas of the Doctor while collecting power boxes.

As for Doey bossfight, I absolutely despise it, almost made me quit, it's really hard to understand and took me an hour and a half to beat it.

While ALSO at it, the game gives you NO directions at all, leaving you stuck at some sections of the game.

A lot of the game's sections it seemed really rushed or not completed, some of the animation work didn't really stood up to its quality as in chapter 3, in some cutscenes the animation is not that good while in some they are pretty good, whoever does quality control should do their job's better.

In conclusion, the Chapter in some aspects was just not ready for release, game was laggy and buggy, bossfights are poorly made (but to give credit, Doey's was good but just frustating), and overall just not really scary.

But as for pros, I like the environmental, the VHS, commercials, UI improvements, and character designs. And the fact that the chapter is less than 15 gbs (Big W).

It wasn't a dissapointment but it wasn't a really impressive chapter either, it just seems like the budget went a bit down from the last Chapter, I hope they fix some of the issues in future patches, but I hope the same thing wont happen with the next Chapter. ()
