PolyKid’s nostalgic 3D platformer Poi: Explorer Edition, is now available for the Nintendo Switch, both as a boxed product and digitally via the Nintendo eShop. We reviewed the game when it launched on the PC and had quite a bit of fun with it.It’s not a very deep 3D platformer, but it’s a great game for kids, or for fans of relaxing games. It’s Zelda lite, but that’s not really a bad thing at the end of the day.
A love letter to cheerful classics of 3D platforming, Poi is an engaging adventure that follows two aspiring Master Explorers as they search the far reaches of the world for an old explorer’s lost medallions. Journey to uncharted lands aboard your sky-ship, discover colourful environments filled with curious creatures, and use a range of jumping abilities to collect over 100 challenging medallions.
Poi: Explorer Edition expands on the core experience of the original Poi with a variety of special features, including Joy-Con motion control support, more challenging boss battles, new character costumes, and an unlockable digital soundtrack and art book.
