Pikuniku Reviews
Games like Pikuniku are not only appreciated but even needed. An adventure as fun as it is sympathetic, a story with humor and message, a world full of expressiveness and a multitude of things to do, and an inspired and expressive presentation and audiovisual design. All this in an accessible but substantial platform game and exploration during this saving feat and curious social realism.

Pikuniku is worth your money and time. It may not be a revolutionary work of high art, but it’s definitely enjoyable. I’d recommend buying it for the Nintendo Switch so you can play it in pieces, but the PC version (which I played) is perfectly acceptable. This is a game I’m going to tell my friends about and get them to buy.
Pikuniku is a short & sweet experience that never takes itself seriously. The game is super fun and cheerful thanks to its gorgeous appearance, well-composed music tracks, delightful gameplay and good sense of humor. However, its short length might leave you wanting more.

That said, I do wish there was a little more to do, especially since the world and characters are so unusual and entertaining. Anyone with even a little interest in Pikuniku should consider picking it up and going in as blind as possible. Much of the enjoyment is in simple, child-like discovery.
Are you in the mood for an absurdist yet cheerful adventure-platformer about corporate sabotage? Pikuniku just might be your game.
Pikuniku is an unbridled joy. It's rainbows, ice cream, long weekends and kittens, combined and distilled into their purest, most potent form.
I had been looking forward to playing Pikuniku since it was revealed as a Nintendo Switch release, and I'm happy to report that it's certainly a colorfully charming, relaxing and fun 2D platforming exploration puzzle game that I highly recommend you buy on Nintendo Switch. You'll be able to take on this adventure on your own or with a friend or loved one thanks to its local co-op, so be sure to grab the game!
My favorite gaming experiences are the ones that elicit a pure and physical response from me. Whether it's a horror game making me clench my cheeks or a story-driven game dropping my jaw and pulling a tear from my eye, those kinds of experiences are the ones that stick with me the most. With Pikuniku, I was smiling and laughing throughout the entire thing, and too few games get that kind of response out of me. Pikuniku is a treasure of a game, and I can't wait to see more from this team.
It's hard to talk about Pikuniku without giving too much away, so just know that it's a fun little puzzle-platformer that doesn't take itself seriously.
Pikuniku is a short-and-sweet experience that's fun, simple, engaging, and smooth. I can recommend it to just about anyone.
Overall, Pikuniku makes for a joyful experience to be enjoyed by kids and adults alike, at least for the couple of hours that it lasts.
What a really pleasant time this is. It’s family-friendly, without being a kids’ game.
Pikuniku’s adorably hilarious approach to overthrowing a dystopian regime makes this brief adventure one worth spending a chilled out afternoon with.
Pikuniku is an absolute treasure, whether you play on Switch or PC. Sectordub have smashed it with the fabulous soundtrack, the way it looks, plays, feels, and everything else in-between. Pikuniku has me completely wrapped around its’ overly long legs.
Playing out like an interactive episode of Don't Hug Me I'm Scared, Pikuniku is a perfectly formed three hour adventure.
Pikuniku happily fills in the gap between bigger and longer games, brightens your day, and leaves a lasting good feeling
