Pros and Cons of Poppy Playtime Chapter 4

Mob Entertainment was spot on with the marketing ahead of Poppy Playtime Chapter 4's mobile launch. The game's official trailer managed to hype up the neutral audience as well. However, let's check certain pros and cons of the game to see how the title lives up to its expectations.

Pros of Poppy Playtime Chapter 4

The developer did a phenomenal job with the title's story mode. The backstory they gave Doey the Doughman (Experiment 1322 of Playtime Co.) is related to the darker lore of the toy factory. The lore behind the Prison, one of the toy factory's most secretive locations, also hooks players.

Poppy Playtime Chapter 4 has an eerie setting and some unsettling visuals that perfectly match its theme. The flickering lights in dimly lit corridors, claustrophobic cells, and blood-stained walls can easily instill fear in the players' minds.

The developer's efforts to portray Harley Sawyer as the main antagonist were fruitful. The villain lurks in the Prison area of the factory and controls the robots that will attack the players. Overall, it provides an engaging gameplay experience for horror fans.

Cons of Poppy Playtime Chapter 4

Despite being a meticulously crafted horror game, Chapter 4 has certain drawbacks.

The graphics do not look as good as Poppy Playtime Chapter 3 and even feel like a downgrade at times. Besides, since a certain number of hits from the Nightmare Critters can kill you, the interaction with those critters becomes predictable at times. The developer kills certain monsters early in the game, despite their great potential.
