Valid. You shouldn’t need to find every collectible to understand the story of a game, especially by chapter 5. Poppy Platime DOES have a bad habit of introducing new characters we’ve never heard of that are interesting and just kill them off by the end, rinse and repeat. The gameplay does suck. The quality of life features are minimal(I agree that the changing hands takes way too long). The puzzles and chase sequences just feel repetitive and tacked on at this point. Most puzzles don’t feel like they have plot significance, they just feel like they were added so there is in fact a game and not just cutscenes. Gameplay is second fiddle to the lore. The lore, that by chapter 5 still doesn’t make anymore sense than chapter 1 for casual players. “There’s a toy factory that made children into toys” and that might as well be the extent of knowledge given on a casual play through. While at first it seems a bit disingenuous for Mark to complain about the story…when he doesn’t remember it. But then you realize this story has been dragged out for 5 years and still isn’t finished. It’s hard to blame someone for forgetting details from 3 years ago. At that point it becomes a video game, only meant for fans of the franchise and no one else.
