    The gameplay in Poison Control is criticized for its lackluster shooting mechanics and repetitive level design, leading to a shallow experience that fails to engage players. While the story and dialogue provide some enjoyment, they are not enough to compensate for the overall lack of depth and variety in gameplay, making it less appealing for fans of action-oriented games.

    • “The gameplay can produce some absent-minded enjoyment; the radio duo are the best characters I've ever seen, and when jokes land, they land.”
    • “Poison Control's story is cliché-filled but fun, and the tongue-in-cheek dialogue carries the game far further than its gameplay could manage alone.”
    • “Poison Control may offer a fun and interesting story, but mishandles certain aspects, all while lackluster shooting mechanics prevent it from standing out in any way.”
    • “The writing can only make up for shallow game mechanics to a point, though ultimately shallow gameplay is what lets this game down.”
    • “Visual novel fans will likely find more to enjoy here, but there's simply not enough gameplay depth or variety for fans of shooters.”
  • story
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “Poison Control's story is cliché-filled but fun, and the tongue-in-cheek dialogue carries the game far further than its gameplay could manage alone.”
    • “[entertaining story/narrative, amusing and charming characters, customization options].”
    • “[fun, charming characters and tongue-in-cheek humor, entertaining story, some customization options available, plenty of fan-service, if that's what you're looking for].”
    • “The shooting is serviceable, the 'cleaning' gets old fast, and the story doesn't really go anywhere.”
  • music
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Reviewers highlight the fantastic quality of the music, which complements the unique blend of RPG and third-person shooter elements, while also incorporating anime tropes and nods to other NIS games. Overall, the soundtrack is considered a standout feature that elevates the gaming experience.
