If you were to look at Poi and think "this looks like budget Super Mario Sunshine"... You'd be right ! It shares the same gameplay, is structured the same way, and even references it countless times. It could have easily just been another cheap imitation, but instead feels like it was crafted with care by someone who really liked the original. So if you did too, it could be worth your time. Visually, Poi is very limited and lacks charm. A generic hero, basic characters, blobs and moles as enemies : it's serviceable at best. The controls are what you'd expect from a classic platformer with a double jump, with the unusual addition of a dive. It's not as fun without Fludd on your back, but it lets you perform some neat little tricks once you get the hang of it. This almost compensates for an unruly camera and stiff controls that often lock you in a direction, making ladders dangerous endeavors. Still, those shortcomings won't matter that much because the game is really accessible. You could even say that it's... Easy as Poi ! (... No ? ... Even if you're Australian ?). Only the last climb will present a certain challenge, and even then, there's more than enough checkpoints. But …4 found this helpful

Mario 64 clone or something. Game constantly kick you out of the level. Why? To waste your time. 2 playable characters. You lose money on hit. Moles are stupid enemy. They hit you in the air with stone, touch you in the air(how?), ignore getting hit and make you slide. ng+ is mirrored world and you only get 1 health.
The game looks very unpolished and bootleg in term of visuals but it plays well and is pretty fun. Its 3d platforming movement works well and moving around is fun. There are a lot of objectives and stuff to collect and is fun............ and is fun.
Bro you need to try this game it might be just an indie style game, but it is SOOOOOO good I loved playing it and I am going to finish the game again its is definitely worth the 10$
For a bog standard 3D platformer similar to Mario Sunshine, its okay for what it is. It has a decent amount interest through the good enough music and a good variety of locations in both the worlds and the hub. The gameplay is tight with a good sense of exploration and difficulty. The tools are a nice change of pace as instead of the standard collectathon, you go and hunt fossils or take pictures. It also has a new game plus which gives it some challenge. In short, it ranges from mediocre to unimpressive especially when compared, but its decent enough as a standalone game for those with the need of scratching that 3D platforming itch.
