"It&s;s commendable work by Nightdive to port this obscure title, but it&s;s no wonder they announced its existence on April Fool&s;s Day. Po&s;ed: Definitive Edition is a confusing mess of a game to play, but it does leave a lasting …"

"PO&s;ed Definitive Edition is yet another fine example of Nightdive Studio&s;s excellent work in preserving unique, oddball games of yore while adding some welcome mod cons. With this one, however, the core experience is a little bit too weird to …"
Read original review"I also must commend Nightdive Studios for having the guts to remaster a game that can’t even claim a cult following. PO’ed isn’t notoriously bad, but it would probably be better if it was. I’m not sure I’ve ever heard …"
