Professional reviews from gaming critics
KOI relies more on its look and sound than its gameplay, and the overall lack of difficulty and the shortness of the game really makes it hard to justify buying for most PS4 owners.
With the introduction of consoles to China comes a new market of consumers and drastically increased marketing opportunities, but also a bigger development pool. KOI's claim to fame, then, is that it's the first Chinese-developed game to be published in the West for PlayStation 4. It perhaps fits that a country often synonymous with its beautiful art and scenic landscapes, as well as its polluted cities and factories, has developed a game which is based on these two things: natural beauty and its destruction at the hands of humankind.
KOI is an exploration adventure game that follows the quest of a lone koi fish through an ever-evolving lotus pond.
Dev Dotoyou brings the first Chinese-developed game for Western audiences on the PS4. Read our KOI PS4 review to see if it's worth your time and money.
Koi is lovely to look at and listen to. It's also only an hour long, has pointless stealth mechanics, no consistency in puzzles, a nonsensical plot, and generally just feels like a totally empty game.
