Premium DLC for Poppy Playtime
Poppy Playtime - Chapter 2 is a premium downloadable content (DLC) that acts as the much-awaited sequel to the adventure game Poppy Playtime. Three times as large as the original, you will continue your exploration of the toy factory. Equipped with an upgrade to your trusty GrabPack, you must explore deeper as you solve all-new puzzles and avoid Spidey Widy, a new yet equally frightening mascot.
With action, puzzle, and suspense elements, all on a larger scale than the base game, Poppy Playtime - Chapter 2 is a great game for thrill-seekers. Alternatively, you might want to check Eyes - The Horror Game.
Same toy factory, all-new adventures
In the original Poppy Playtime, you’ve started an investigation of an abandoned toy factory, and you’ve crossed paths with the blue, long-limbed mascot Huggy Wuggy. As you enter a different section of Playtime Co in Poppy Playtime - Chapter 2, you now try to outrun Mommy Long Legs, a pink-colored mascot with all-new abilities and new potential for horror. This premise builds further on the lore already introduced in the base game.
However, as the game is a DLC, it’s a prerequisite first to have the original game. It’s not required to finish the first chapter, though. Also, the new game offers a lot of features that actually make it feel like an upgrade. For example, you can now use a green-colored glove that stores electricity and allows you to carry it elsewhere.
While there is an upgrade in the puzzles because of the new GrabPack mechanics, the difficulty of the new opponent is quite underwhelming. If you’ve had a blast trying to outwit and outrun Huggy Wuggy, then prepare for a disappointment with Mommy Long Legs. Her movement and attack patterns are easy to recognize and follow, making it an unbelievably predictable experience. Still, the story and the puzzles are worth staying for.
The saga continues in the third DLC
Poppy Playtime - Chapter 2 follows up with Poppy Playtime - Chapter 3, also known as Chapter 3: "Deep Sleep." Set in Playcare — a spacious orphanage located deep within Playtime Co — players are expected to solve harder puzzles, encounter CatNap and other new monsters, and leverage the upgraded capabilities of their GrabPack. The new character Ollie also makes her debut in this chapter.
A bridge for better Poppy Playtime content
If you’ve enjoyed the original Poppy Playtime, then you can’t afford to miss Poppy Playtime - Chapter 2. It is a paid DLC that offers quality story and game elements. It smoothly builds on the lore already established, and with the introduction of new game mechanics, it manages to step up the challenge and immersion of the gameplay experience. The only element falling short is the game boss itself.
