I’ve given up on Poptropica. – Poptropica Worlds Review

As a Poptropican since 2007 (since its first release), I wanted to give the new Poptropica Worlds a chance, even though virtually everything in the “new” version is a step down from the old version. Even though new content is made at a tenth of the rate it was made before, even though some new, greedy marketing strategies have been employed, even though the graphics and framerate are noticeably worse than the “old” Poptropica, even though the new stories and gameplay are bland and uncreative compared to the old version, even though 75% of the content in the game just steals stories from the old Poptropica, even though all the content that isn’t the islands are just boring, useless gimmicks. (Decorating your house? What would I need a house for anyway?!) Despite all of these horrible problems staring me in the face, my love of old Poptropica kept a spark of hope in me. I waited and waited. Months passed. 24 Carrot Island, a remake of an old island, was released. Then a Dr. Hare minigame (based off of the bad guy of 24 Carrot Island). Neither of those interested me. Months and more months. Then, Greek Sea Odyssey was released. Not only did it seem to be based off of old Poptropica’s Mythology Island, it was locked away, accessible only to members. That finally did it for me. My spark of hope was extinguished, and my love of Poptropica died. I advise everyone to stay away from anything Poptropica. Maybe play a little of the old Poptropica app (some of that is still worth playing), but the rest is free of the love and creativity that made the original Poptropica great. Don’t waste any time on this app, no matter how much fun you had with the old Poptropica. Poptropica is dead now.
