What happens in Poppy Playtime 2? Are the puzzles more intense<\/strong>, and will you need to keep the lights on while playing? These are some of the questions I\u2019ll answer in this exhilarating game review, so stay tuned!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The horror story continues in Poppy Playtime Chapter 2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s begin with my favorite element in any game: the story. If the plot doesn\u2019t grab me from the beginning, there\u2019s little chance I\u2019m going to enjoy the rest of it. I need suspense and thrills when it comes to a survival horror puzzle game<\/strong>. Let\u2019s see if Poppy Playtime Chapter 2 lives up to my expectations as a horror fan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you missed in Poppy Playtime Chapter 1<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In case you missed my review on Poppy Playtime Chapter 1<\/a>, you entered an abandoned toy factory to find out what happened to it. You found an item called a Grabpack<\/strong> that gave you two mechanical hands<\/strong> to solve puzzles<\/strong> and help you make your way around the building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the horror scenario, a toy called Huggy Wuggy followed you around, intent on killing you near the end. Through quick wits, you managed to escape through the vents<\/strong> and eventually caused it to fall to what seemed like its death. You thought you made it out alive. You were wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, you found yourself in a small room with an Annabelle-like doll locked in a glass cabinet<\/strong>. As if the horror movies weren\u2019t enough warning, you opened the door. The lights went dark, and you heard her voice. When the lights returned, she was gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investigating a new area<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Poppy Playtime Chapter 2 continues from that scene. When you make your way back out the door you came in, you make your way into a brand new area through a door that was locked before. The game presents a brand new location<\/strong> known as The Train Station<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main purpose of the sequel becomes clear. If you can find the code for the train<\/strong>, you have the promise of escape. Even Poppy says she\u2019s there to help you, but it seems suspicious. What you do find along the way is a massive toy called Mommy Long Legs that just wants to play with you\u2026before she kills you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Poppy<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Someone\u2019s out to get you<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The threat of Mommy Long Legs<\/strong> is visible in most of the scenes, but she\u2019s not the only toy ready to end your life. She uses various entities in puzzle rooms, which you\u2019ll have to escape if you want to continue. The ending lets you face off against the giant spider toy<\/strong>, which feels very similar to the vent-running experience with Huggy Wuggy in Chapter 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, there\u2019s a greater threat that becomes a foreshadowing effect<\/strong> for future sequels. It seems there\u2019s a larger toy or entity pulling the strings in the background. Poppy Playtime Chapter 2 also keeps referring to you as a prototype<\/strong>, which makes me wonder if we\u2019re also a toy. The videotapes keep talking about a toy that gained some sense of sentient intelligence. Is that us, or is that the main villain that keeps appearing behind the scenes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, the story in Poppy Playtime Chapter 2 is exciting and keeps you wanting to investigate further. There are plenty of clues<\/strong> as to what\u2019s coming next, which sends chills up your spine. The plot in the sequel is more thrilling and mesmerizing than the first title, that\u2019s for sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How long is Poppy Playtime Chapter 2 to play?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Some of the puzzles are more challenging <\/strong>than they should be, so you may sit playing the game for a couple of hours. If you manage to run through Poppy Playtime Chapter 2 with no difficulty, the game takes about 50 mins to an hour<\/strong> to complete. For me, I ended up with just over two hours due to the punch-a-Wuggy challenge taking me much longer than expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surviving Poppy Playtime Chapter 2 <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Next up in my Poppy Playtime Chapter 2 review, let’s look at the game elements<\/strong>. While some of it remains the same, there are new features and ways to play the enticing horror game. I enjoyed several of the updated touches on previous mechanics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is there a tutorial in Poppy Playtime Chapter 2?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As with the first game, you\u2019ll find no actual tutorial <\/strong>for Poppy Playtime Chapter 2. What you find along the way are videotapes <\/strong>and posters <\/strong>giving you hints at how to use the new mechanics. It\u2019s up to you to figure it out, and some rooms can cause you to waste so much time if you miss a small clue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moving around the abandoned toy factory<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Heading from location to location remains the same. You\u2019ll need to investigate each area<\/strong> and unlock the hints and puzzles<\/strong> to make your way to the next scene. It\u2019s like a massive escape room, except there are toys ready to kill you if you don\u2019t do it the right way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the new mechanics is a bar<\/strong> that lets you swing across gaps<\/strong> with your Grabpack hand or grapple up to higher floors. Now sadly, adding this item slightly takes away from the logic of the story. Why would there be random bars all over the factory, especially when no massive gaping holes existed on floors before? Also, who put them there? Was it Poppy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps a better approach would have been to place more naturally occurring items to grapple across with or hike up to the higher levels. I understand the purpose is to quickly see the bars when Mommy Long Legs is pursuing you<\/strong>. However, their random existence confuses me, if only slightly. At least with Mirror Forge<\/a>, the presence of helpful items made more sense, at least in that game world\u2019s context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Poppy<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

New hand mechanics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Gone is the red hand <\/strong>that helped you in the first game, and ente<\/strong>r the green hand <\/strong>in Poppy Playtime Chapter 2. The purpose of the new mechanic relates to transferring electrical power<\/strong> for a few seconds. It\u2019s a new feature that makes the power rooms more interesting to solve, especially when closing doors can now kill you upon impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Poppy<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Puzzles are more challenging<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re a fan of the puzzles<\/strong> in Resident Evil 7<\/a>, you\u2019ll love the challenge presented in Poppy Playtime 2. As in the CAPCOM horror game, every room is a puzzle <\/strong>you need to solve. You need to investigate every area<\/strong> and item to see if there\u2019s anything that will assist you in reaching the next location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s also the overall puzzle of the whole game. You\u2019ll collect several objects<\/strong> along the way that will eventually solve the final challenge. If you\u2019ve already played Poppy Playtime 2 completely, you\u2019ll have the solution for the next playthrough, so it isn\u2019t randomized like other horror games I\u2019ve played. This mechanic reminds me more of Obduction<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Poppy<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Still no combat<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s still no proper combat<\/strong> in Poppy Playtime Chapter 2. You\u2019ll use your environment to survive and escape to new arenas, while the final boss battle ends in Mommy Long Legs hurtling into her own demise, much like Huggy Wuggy. The Grabpack hands are the only items you have to defend yourself, which you\u2019ll do in some of the puzzle games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finding collectibles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Videotapes<\/strong> make a comeback in this horror game sequel. You\u2019ll collect various color tapes and insert them<\/strong> into the corresponding machines. If I\u2019m not mistaken, there are more than there were the first time around. Also, you can now find small toy statues as keepsakes<\/strong>, but perhaps we\u2019ll need them for Poppy Playtime Chapter 3?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Poppy<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

What are the Poppy Playtime Chapter 2 PC requirements?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The one significant change in Poppy Playtime Chapter 2 over its predecessor is that it\u2019s almost three times as large<\/strong>. Most of the other requirements remain the same, as you\u2019ll see here below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
