Games like Escape from Playtime

Steam reviews

What players say

Mostly positive, but many players say it is best with friends, since public matchmaking is missing and the early access build feels thin.

Many players enjoy the game with friends, praising the silly voice filters, the fast-paced movement and the Poppy Playtime look, and say the chase against Catnap and Ms. Delight is tense. Some say it is cheap for its price or fun in short sessions. The complaints are about the lack of public lobbies, which leaves solo and newer players stuck, the ten-minute timer and steep quotas that push players to rush, few maps and enemies, and a repetitive loop with little progression. Some players compare it to Lethal Company, REPO and Peak and find it derivative, while others say the early access state justifies the flaws. Recent reviews are more negative than the helpful reviews from the last year, mostly about the missing matchmaking, the late-game difficulty of Boogie Bots and Cat Bees, and the shutdown of Project: Playtime.

Who it suits

Players who have friends to play with and enjoy co-op chaos in the Poppy Playtime style.

Who should skip it

Solo players or those without friends to play with, since public matchmaking is not yet available, and anyone who wants a finished, varied game.

Short vs. long playtime: Newer players more often report that solo or random play is frustrating, while players with dozens of hours mostly complain about repetition and the late-game difficulty of Boogie Bots and Cat Bees.
