Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« With its soothing overall look and feel, Koi isn’t likely to appeal to those who prefer their games gritty, dark, or driven by intense stories. For fans of a more casual sort or those who just want a break, though, it fills its niche very well. »
« It’s a smart, genuine little game, with soul and a story to tell, and wraps it within one of the best examples we’ve seen to date of serenity as a play concept. »
« If you’re an angry gamer, human, or just someone needing a break, Koi is worth a try. »
« Koi is cute, it’s simple, but worth a swim if you’re in the mood for a low-rent Journey. »
« Koi comes close to being a remarkable indie title. The audiovisual design work is incredibly cohesive, and despite the gameplay simplicity, it does enough to keep your attention for its short play time. Koi’s issues lie with the weak delivery of its environmental message that unfortunately highlights the shortcomings found in such a simple game. »
« My issue with the game is that the journey, beautiful as it can be, winds up coming off as philosophically pat. »
« Koi is a beautiful, soft and serene game that doesn't quite manage to fulfil the ideas and message it is clearly trying to convey. »
« Overall Koi is an okay game with some nice ideas and pleasant visuals. The game is on the short side and the gameplay doesn’t really offer enough to keep you absorbed and there isn’t any real sense of urgency or challenge. The game may have been better if the ideas had been pushed further, maybe with some sort of story or gameplay variation that felt more impactful or interesting. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« This game reminds me Proteus, shouts that wants to be art and thus attract the public, but it is a game that feels empty and possessing greatest attribute is the exploration, the others are not fully exploited. The graphics are poor but the gameplay is fluid. I'm just saying Koi could have been better. »
