"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 …"

"I’m all for game preservation and am happy to see games like this being revived especially after they were on a failed console that 95% of gamers never touched, let alone saw in person. But PO’ed Definitive Edition is one …"

"POed: Definitive Edition is an excellent version of a middling game, with only some of its problems due to it being early days for the FPS. It&s;s hard not to feel affection for what it&s;s trying to do, though, and …"

"Reviewing PO’ed: Definitive Edition is weird because, sure, the game is actually terrible, but it’s not Nightdive’s fault at all. On the contrary, they have done quite a lot of work remastering its visuals and improving its controls. Sadly, the …"

"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 …"

"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 …"
