Customers are impressed with Poi's gameplay, frequently praising it as a fun and enjoyable platformer with beautiful graphics. The game's price is also a positive aspect for many buyers, particularly when purchased at a discount. However, some customers noted that the controls could be improved, finding them somewhat slow and requiring adjustment. Overall, the positive feedback on gameplay and price outweighs the concerns about the controls.

This is a very traditional collectathon type of game. Graphics are not as sharp as your modern day games but it brings back a lot of nostalgia

Do you like Mario 64 and Mario Sunshine? Do you like the looks of Zelda Wind Waker? Then drop everything you're doing and buy this cheap and amazing game! This has no plot essentially, you are an explorer that is collecting Medallions (think stars in 64). There are all sorts of extra side levels and collectibles beyond the main "story" levels. Think the side levels in Sunshine where you lose FLOOD. There are moon levels that make me think of Mario Galaxy, Sliding levels that make me think of Mario 64 slide races, and a good amount of collectibles. The levels are structured very similar to Mario 64, you chose a level and then a Medallion of collect. Some of them can be collected out of order but some of them have to be selected before the "mission" will load that specific scenario. The character controls are beautiful and remind me a lot of Mario Odyssey, where the better you get with the controls the more crazy the acrobatics you can pull off are. Everything just feels right here. I hope they make a sequel!

A good 3D platformer similar to the games we all played as kids in the 90s, it's a little rough around the edges due to this, but it's great fun going back to these style of games. Would happily recommend.

This game was a true delight. It is very reminiscent of a nintendo 64 era platformer with smooth graphics and controls. If you want a 3d platformer after Mario Odysssey look no further than Poi!

This game tries to capture that GC/Ps2/Xbox era of platforming but it falls short to its wonky controllers and uninspiring level design and creativity.

Very fun Platform Collectathon
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Very fun, very simple medallion collecting platformer. The game stays fresh thanks to 4 fairly large levels, numerous Challenge Levels and some Mini-Levels. Fun for kids and adults alike, some parts will be very simple while others more difficult (mainly due to the camera and annoying enemy knockback). It is very forgiving which makes it very accessible. Once you complete the game you do get a much more difficult "New Game+" mode which gives you only 1 heart and everything is mirrored for an extra challenge.
