About Poppy Playtime: Chapter 2 - Fly in a Web
Poppy Playtime Chapter 2 is a first-person puzzle horror game set in a large toy factory. Built by Mob Entertainment, it expands significantly from the first chapter with three times the content. You navigate maze-like environments filled with grotesque toy creatures while solving environmental puzzles to progress. The core hook remains escaping relentless pursuers like the iconic Mommy long legs. Released in May 2022, it’s available on every major platform including Switch and mobile. The game emphasizes stealth and timing as you grapple through levels, avoiding detection while figuring out the factory’s dark history. It’s a direct sequel to Chapter 1, so prior knowledge is essential.
Gameplay
You spend most of your time exploring interconnected factory zones, using a grappling hook to cross gaps and bypass obstacles. Puzzles range from basic platforming to logic-based challenges requiring item placement or sequence-solving. The tension spikes when enemies like Mommy or spider-like Pursuers appear, forcing you into hide-and-seek segments. You can’t fight enemies, only evade them by hiding in vents or exploiting line-of-sight gaps. The controls prioritize movement fluidity, with quick-time sections for dodging attacks. Sessions often blend methodical puzzle-solving with frantic dashes to safety. New mechanics in Chapter 2 include manipulating machinery and using environmental hazards to stall pursuers.
What Players Think
The PlayPile community rates it 81.9/100 on IGDB, with 19 ratings. Average playthroughs last 5.2 hours, and 67% of players finish the game. Moods are split between “tense” (42%) and “puzzled” (31%), reflecting its difficulty. Reviewers praise the expanded scale and tighter pacing but note recycled set pieces from Chapter 1. One user wrote, “The grappling adds a fun vertical layer, but some puzzles feel too punishing.” Completion rates drop sharply in the final act, where puzzle complexity peaks. The game’s $29.99 price tag matches Chapter 1, with 81% of players calling it “worth the cost.”
PlayPile's Take
Poppy Playtime Chapter 2 is a must-play for fans of the first game but leans heavily on its predecessor’s setup. The grappling mechanics and larger environments improve the formula, though recycled themes hurt replayability. With 27 achievements averaging 5.4 hours to unlock, it rewards persistence without feeling unfair. If you enjoyed the original’s blend of horror and puzzles, this sequel adds meaningful depth. Skip it if you’re new to the series or prefer open-ended exploration. The price is fair for the content, but don’t expect impressive innovation.
