The premise, in the publisher's words
Poi is an indie 3D platformer released on Linux, macOS and Microsoft Windows via Steam, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Poi was the first game developed by PolyKid, an independent studio made up of graduates from the DigiPen Institute of Technology. Following an unsuccessful Kickstarter campaign in August 2015, the game was released via Steam Early Access the following November and remained in active development until a finished version was released in February 2017, followed by home console ports later that year.

It is played from a third person perspective. Its themes are action and fantasy. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component. There are 25 achievements to unlock.

What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel Core i3 or AMD Ryzen 3, 4 GB RAM and Integrated Graphics. At 4GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Install size is roughly 2GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
What it launched against
Poi launched on 6 November 2015, within three weeks of Fallout 4, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition and Star Wars Battlefront. It reviewed better than 1 of the 4. It arrived 2 years into the PlayStation 4's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Fallout 4, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition, Star Wars Battlefront.
