Poi is a 3D Platformer by developer Polykid. It tries very hard to be a modern version of Super Mario 64. By that, I mean it’s basically Super Mario 64 with a fresh coat of paint and two playable protagonists.

In this review, I take a look at the good, the bad, and the boring of this new indie 3D platformer and what it could have done differently. I also look at how its devoted ties to the past are more of a hindrance than a benefit.

Poi isn’t a bad game by any stretch of the imagination, but it’s not great either. It seems content with being just okay, which in itself is a problem.
