Poppy Playtime: Chapter 4 Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
Poppy Playtime: Chapter 4 continues where the previous three chapters left off. The story continues to get deeper and darker into the sordid past of Playtime Co. The franchise is known for some tense moments and creepy atmospheres – and Chapter 4 continues that tradition. The remaining Poppy Playtime crew, such as Poppy and Kissy Missy, are all there along with some new faces like the Playdoh-inspired Doey.

Fans of Poppy Playtime are going to enjoy Chapter 5 in the most part, with some new mechanics and monsters, along with new levels to escape and explore.
Poppy Playtime Chapter 5 delivers genuine tension and long-awaited answers regarding Playtime Co.'s dark origins, but the franchise's agonizing episodic drip-feed is wearing thin.
Overall, Chapter 4 is a solid entry for Poppy Playtime, but it's not a flawless game.

I enjoyed Poppy Playtime Chapter 5. It's a strong episode, but it's also a slower-paced chapter that has a heavy focus on exploration and information. While I love that part of horror games, players who want more action might not like that. However, there are still a few intense chase sequences that are packed with action, so the balance doesn't feel entirely tipped in one direction.
