BOKURA: planet Steam Charts & Stats

Art, music and puzzles are still as great as they were in the first game The story though, this time it's gotten way better and I really liked how we had 2 different perspectives which we didn't tell each other until the end of the game and that made it even better. Oh and now I can push my gf in game which is a 10/10 feature

It's a decently fun two player cooperative puzzle game. My partner and I encountered fewer glitches in this game than we did in the previous one. Most of the puzzles were pretty fun, but some of them were strange and relied too heavily on pure verbal communication, with tons of details invisible to one person or the other being needed to understand the puzzle. The story was a pretty strict downgrade from the first in most ways. The gimmick of seeing two different things is done in a much lamer way than in the first too, with remote controlled clones. Often times players would just see essentially the same thing as each other, but one person sees the other as a robot in the opposite spot. The body horror is also pretty comparatively under-baked, hinging it all on an exposition dump that's never touched on again, for the express purpose of shock value as far as I can tell. Also this game really should at least kind of be advertised as a horror since it's clearly trying to disturb the players. The gimmick of keeping secrets is dumb, unnecessary, underutilized, and generally pointless down to the secrets themselves. The ending also kinda just sucked. Really, besides less glitches (in our experience), this is just a downgrade from the first game. We still had a fun time though, so if you liked the first one, this one is still worth a shot, albeit with lower expectations.

[spoiler] am i supposed to feel bad for wanting to kill the woman whose been force to be a reproduction machine for like 100 years? [/spoiler] decent game overall but some of the story choices just feel strange and i will forever prefer the first game bc of it

i really enjoyed the first game, it was heartfelt and a cute short little game with interesting and intuitive puzzles. this game however kinda got a lot from the first game and made it worse, the story is kinda boring, the puzzles are way worse and more tedious, and maybe its just a skill issue but in my playthrough i had to search up some of the answers purely because of the nonsensical style of them. this kind of game strives on small stories, not attempting space travel and entire worlds being taken over, i feel bad but i just didn't enjoy this game really :(

Bokura: PuRanEtTO - Dikku no Densetsu is a fair-sized diek museum, where you'll have to complete co-op puzzles by matching various phallic symbols according to logic arrived at through multiple layers of association. Though a good game in its own right, it is not outstanding by any measure, and is, in most aspects, a downgrade of its predecessor. Its only relative strength, in my opinion, is the added challenge the sequel's puzzles provide. Visually, in terms of story and atmosphere, the first game has it beat by a mile. Both games are ripe with cringey anime moments and shallow dialogue, combined with pretense of depth and grandeur, on the other hand, also with endearing story elements and artistic setting , as well as some interesting basic concepts for their story and gameplay. The level of detail when it comes to interacting with the world around you, including animation, graphics, level variety, has diminished compared to the original Bokura game. The biggest strength of both games, no doubt, is Bokura's particular core co-op puzzle concept, that would be hard to give enough information on without spoiling, so I'll just say puzzles are designed in such a way that they can only be solved by 2 players, and require extensive communication. The biggest downside to both games also has to do with its two-player-exclusive nature: to play the game at all, both players have to buy the full game, making a $5 game in effect a $10 game. If you're a puzzle fan or like to enjoy weird stories especially with company, it's still worth it. Otherwise, it is advisable to wait for a sale.

A good co-op game to play with one other friend and a good sequel, 8/10 I think this game is a good sequel to a game i didn't think would be able to get one, they somehow manage to keep things fresh. Some of the puzzles were a bit repetitive, and unlike in the first games the two characters SEE everything similarly, just two different perspectives of the same location. But overall it's still a great game! The ending really helped tie both of the games together nicely. Once again the soundtrack is amazing, the art really nice and the story good. If you're looking for something to play with a friend, I would highly recommend playing both games. Remember you and your friend need to be able to clearly communicate so try being either in the same room (not looking at each others screens) or in a call.

Personally, I felt that this was a disappointing sequel to the first BOKURA. I won't get into the story, but it felt as if the moral decisions were inconsequential and had very obvious answers, but the game still tried to present them as something to deliberate over. The "lying" pretty much never came up until the end at which point the other person's story just shows up out of no where and they have to explain it all to you. The puzzles felt much more confusing and annoying then the first game, as they dropped the separate worlds mechanic which was the main catalyst of the puzzles from the first game. Instead, almost every area just has the two of you split up which is a much more boring and less inventive form of forcing teamwork. Overall, you can definitely get some enjoyment out of this game, as the art is very good and a handful of puzzles can be fun, but I found it to be somewhat of a slog to get through, especially towards the end.

追加エンドまでプレイ。 個人的な好みでストーリーの満足度は前作の方が高かったが、正統続編といったステージ構成がとても良かった。 友人とコミュニケーションを取りながら進めるゲーム体験は今回もとても楽しかったです。 ひとつあたらしいアクションがあまり使い所がなかったのが少し残念。

Playing BOKURA: planet has been a mind wrenching experience in the best way possible. Just like the first game, bokura planets value lies within the communication aspect between you and your friend to overcome puzzles. While the first game lets you see two completely different worlds, in BOKURA: planet both of the players are in the same world yet they still see objects or buttons the other may not. The appeal of the series is still apparent and I had a blast playing it! The story of both games are decent enough to be engaging. Although the way the story is portrayed to the players are what makes it truly shine to me. But you will have to experience that for urself. :)

Highly disappointing story line compared to the first BOKURA. The way the women characters are treated and viewed in this game is disturbing, which could be a point of commentary, except if it is, it's executed very, Very poorly. The individual/secret portions were what kept me hopeful because of that interesting plot line, but it doesn't amount to anything in the end. Could've had such a cool story if they'd kept to each character's plot line and not tried to make players feel guilty for (spoilers and tw for disturbing content) [spoiler] killing off an effectively immortal woman being used solely as a breeding machine to "repopulate" the planet, trying to mirror our characters with their love for their children, except we felt no remorse for killing off "The Mother" because jfc, dude, I don't understand how anyone could keep her alive in that situation. Having that plot line in the story is one thing, because you could've included it and still had an interesting story, but trying to make us agree with the characters about not wanting to kill her, or making it seem like some horrible act, because what parent would want their child to die, and all that? No, dude, no. [/spoiler] I wish I could give the creators the benefit of the doubt and assume it's some piece of commentary on how women are treated, but I just genuinely don't believe that was the message here, not with how it feels like we're supposed to agree with the characters on how the women are treated, like how [spoiler] the robot father only wants to end his daughter's suffering because he sees the characters as proof that the human race has survived outside of this planet, and not because his daughter has been through horrendous suffering at his own hands, by the way, all for "saving the human race" which was ultimately pointless, because the human race devolved into mindless beasts anyway. I wish I thought that would make it a piece of commentary, but it just doesn't feel that way. [/spoiler] Game play was fine, a bit more difficult than BOKURA's. Nothing that wasn't eventually solved. TLDR: I wanted to like this game, but ultimately, they fumbled the story lines, and it felt like the decisions you made didn't matter in the end. BOKURA was amazing and almost made me cry, BOKURA: planet was very much not that.
