A few days ago I wrote about the feeling that the 3D platformer genre was seeing a sort of revival. This morning I got word of Poi, another colorful 3D platformer releasing today on Steam, and I don’t want to toot my own horn, but I’m going to say I called this whole thing. And is that really such a bad thing in that grand scheme of things?
Poi is a 3D platformer that’s a love letter to the 90s era of classic platforming titles. It has tight, precise controls with all the platforming moves gamers know and love. The game has you play as two kids on a grand adventure in a whale-shaped airship to collect Explorer Medallions and unravel the mysteries of the Milky Way Globe.
Explore uncharted lands, compete in challenge levels, meet quirky characters and defeat comical creatures on a journey to collect all the medallions and become a true Master Explorer.
It all sounds like a lot of harmless fun and in a time when the world is in such a shitty place, I am looking for games that simply bring a smile to my face. Let’s just hope Poi is the sort of game to do that.
Key Features:
- Explore the world in search of 100+ Explorer Medallions.
- Compete to set the fastest times in global online leaderboards.
- Master classic platforming moves like wall jumps, triple jumps, long jumps and more.
- Enjoy a fully orchestrated soundtrack composed by Lyndon Holland, the composer for Virginia.
