    This game is simple, honest and stupid fun.

    I tend to play it as a palette cleanse between complex games that demand thought and involvement from me as a player. Cleansing my palette like this gives me a bit of extra time to bask in the afterglow of whatever immersive story or experience I've just had, without corrupting it with another straight away.

    I tend to play it as a palette cleanse between complex games that demand thought and involvement from me as a player. Cleansing my palette like this gives me a bit of extra time to bask in the afterglow of whatever immersive story or experience I've just had, without corrupting it with another straight away.

    Poison Control demands nothing from me. It puts fun in my hands with easy combat, a feast for the eyes and simple, heartfelt story for the soul. It's simple fps combat that controls perfectly well, breezy story and fun characters with enough heart to keep things interesting, and plenty of top notch, shall we say, "fan service".

    It's certainly a tad silly. But if you're like me, you play plenty of intelligent, deep and often challenging games almost every day. When I've conquered (or absorbed) a game like that, nothing is better than relaxing to the simple, honest fun of a game like this, and Poison Control is the best I've seen in that particular unnamed genre.    … Expand

    Poison Control shows how good ideas and a huge potential can be ruined by bad gameplay decisions and broken structure, and even though some parts of the game like story and writing will keep you eager to carry on, eventually the final package fails to deliver.

    In the end, it is a slick looking, great sounding little game that is never overly offensive with its issues, but still has a decent amount of them. The gameplay revolves around a simple mechanic that players will see the majority of before getting halfway through it, but it was never something that I didn’t like playing. It is most certainly unconventional, and I think that’s what gave it enough charm to keep me playing. It’s a strange one to recommend, but I still recommend it if this sounds like something up your alley.
