Pikuniku Reviews

Charming with a lot of interesting yet unrefined directions. I'm a little mixed on this one. Pikuniku is a casual puzzle platformer that has a vague idea of what it wants to be but never fully commits to it. The art direction and tech supporting it is bold, fluid, and original, yet there are few areas that highlight it, with many areas simply being vast expanses of a single flat color. The soundtrack, composed by musician Calum Bowen has hints of his unique style but rarely goes further beyond minimalistic background noise. The gameplay is clearly aimed at a casual audiences, yet the boss fights have difficulty spikes that I imagine casual players would find unreasonably difficult. The dialogue aims to be silly and lighthearted but more often than not it falls flat and the humour isn't as prevalent as I'd imagine this type of game to be when I compare it to games like Earthbound, Undertale, and Helltaker. Overall, I thought it was a pleasant 4 hours with no real highs or lows that ended up being slightly forgettable. 6.5/10

The fastest way to describe this game would be "light", light gameplay, light humor, light visuals, light music. It's like eating just angel food cake with nothing on it, it's sweet and can be satisfying but not everyone will like that and might end up wanting something else. For what it's worth, I think this is a perfectly fine little game. A nice bite sized thing if your looking to spend a few hours on something that you don't need to think all that hard about. Only real complaint I can give is the movement itself can start feeling slow at times, and it doesn't quite feel like a 13 dollar game to me... Maybe 11 or 10 dollars but that's just me. Otherwise, again, it's a perfectly fine game.

To be frank, this game have some story and the controls isn't bad However there are missable collectables, co-op related achievements (and tedious achievements) and the inability to rebind controls, which are not good at all

Talvez não tenha a melhor hístoria, nem o melhor gameplay. Porem pikuniku tem uma coisa que muitos jogos sonham em ter. Ele é engraçado. 10/10

Noticeable screen tearing with v-sync off, Noticeable choppy framerate with v-sync on. This game is not graphically impressive enough to excuse these kinds of technical issues, especially when the actual gameplay is pretty shallow and the writing is okay at best.

super cute and funny puzzle game that you'd probably enjoy if you loved untitled goose game!

If you enjoy playing super chill, cute, and casual games, with some nice humor in them, Pikuniku is a game for you. I haven't finished the game yet but I've found myself coming back to it any time I want something light and easy to play! Very easy game and controls for anyone to adapt to and play. I play it at the end of stressful days. And I love the cute and quirky humor! It always puts a smile on my face.

firer game!!!!!!!! funny story and cool bossfights yeah

Pikuniku is one of my favorite games because of its unique silly charm. The game features many different collectibles, puzzles, and fun characters to interact with. The soundtrack was made by Calum Bowen, an amazing artist. His music works perfectly with the sound design of the goofy audio you hear throughout the game. This game also includes co-op with nine levels, two being racing levels, and a mini game named baskick. This is really fun, yet it barely has any replay value and I hope the developers make a DLC. This game is worth it at full price, and even more on sale. Definitely worth a try if you love silly games.

I played part of this game awhile back after Epic Games was giving it out for free. I stopped playing for some reason, but after buying it on Steam and playing it the whole way through I can say this was a nice short and charming game. The game has good humor and a well-paced story. Overall a pretty fun game.
