    A colorful 3D platformer about collecting things - lot's of them.

    You play as a boy or girl in a colorful world in search for adventure. There is little in terms of story. You're just there on a flying ship visiting these unique worlds and collecting mostly medallions but also a bunch of other meaningless things. Once you collect enough medallions you unlock new areas in which you can collect some more medallions.

    Each world or level is designed in a pretty open way. Most of the areas of the level are accessible at all times the only difference is the things you need to do to fetch a selected medallion. Each world has 7 medallions placed around the world though you can only collect one at a time. Each medallion will put you at the starting location of the level so it's impossible to do certain things along the way - sort of artificially lengthens the game.

    Certain quest do repeat themselves between the worlds - like collecting 7 keys to unlock medallion or 100 coins though there is a lot of unique ones.

    The open nature of the levels combined with a bit floaty physics means you can reach certain places in variety of ways. In one way it's a cool thing as you can approach it your way. In another the wall jumping combined with double jump is not as tight as I would like it to be and you can climb certain places in a way that you should not be able to.

    But the game is still pretty fun. Very family friendly and relaxed. Interestingly designed worlds filled with cute creatures. Lots of things to explore and collect. Overall a pretty decent game I enjoyed playing.    … Expand

    Poi is a competent love letter to the 3D Mario games we know and love that manages to give players a nice taste of nostalgia while still having its own charm. If you're hankering for a good 3D platformer, look no further. Your move, Yooka-Laylee, Hat in Time, and Super Mario Odyssey.

    Low-budget 3D platformer let’s you remember the giants of the 90’s genre despite its triviality. Fans will be pleased others can try another game.

    While another round of polish would do a nice job of knocking off the rough edges, the core experience is a lively game that remains fun and playable from start to finish.
