What players say
Players call Poi a loving but uneven tribute to 3D Mario, especially Super Mario 64 and Sunshine. Many praise the smooth movement and level design, but reviewers split on whether the low-budget visuals and generic character art undercut the charm. The New Game Plus mode is widely criticized for simply mirroring levels and giving the player only one hit point.
