Thumb Culture 4/5

"From a twenty minute intro to an over 5 hours long chapter, Poppy Playtime has developed into a mammoth of a series. I’m really glad I got to experience this game franchise in quite a signficant chunk. As mentioned, if I played this game in time with each release, I don’t think I would have been invested and the story has quite the potential to fall flat. It was an okay experience. There were parts that I really really loved (looking at you Doey) and parts that I hated. The game as a whole isn’t bad but I feel like the story is overly convoluted at this point. It almost has too much going on at this point but isn’t doing much with the gameplay to make up for how futuristic and developed the technologies are in the lore. Ultimately, I’m going to give Poppy Playtime the Thumb Culture Gold Award. I’m excited to see what happens in chapter six and how everything actually closes out!"

PCGamesN 7/10

"Poppy Playtime: Chapter 3 is an enjoyable and emotional horror puzzle game that draws to a powerful conclusion, even if bugs, difficulty spikes, and its oddly paced narrative keep it back from greatness."
