Jan 22, 2019Pikuniku is a fun puzzle game based in a fascinating dystopian world. It’s look and feel gives it a charming aesthetic that draws you in, and its solid controls coupled with balanced puzzles makes you stay a while.
-
Jan 22, 2019It would have been nice if Pikuniku was longer and had a bit more to its story, if only because it means spending more time with its interesting and charming world. Still, what we have is a fun blend of physics-based gameplay, traditional platforming, exploration, eye-catching art and a fun cast that makes for one cute, highly-enjoyable experience. It’s a quick little romp through a gleefully bizarre world that you won’t regret checking out.

Jan 21, 2019It's impossible not to love Pikuniku, but now I want some more.
-
Jan 21, 2019Despite being rather short, Pikuniku is sure to please players anyway thanks to its pleasant presentation, relaxed atmosphere, goofy characters, and its world that's just plain fun to explore.
-
Jan 21, 2019If you are looking for a game that will constantly have you asking yourself what you just experienced, Pikuniku may just be what you are looking for.
-
Jan 21, 2019Pikuniku is a funny game on numerous levels--the script often undercuts tension and plays with tropes in amusing ways, the goofy way you flip when you jump is a constant source of amusement, and the game will often throw you into strange situations without much explanation.
-
Jan 21, 2019A wonderfully absurd tale of insurrection and kicking stuff in a cheery-looking world.
-
Jan 29, 2019Pikuniku is quirky, funny and more than a little bit mad, all adding up to a short-but-sweet, colourful platform adventure.
-
Feb 9, 2019Pikuniku is a relaxing action-puzzle game with a good sense of humor. The interesting mixture of cute visuals and a dystopian world is worth a look.
-
Jan 27, 2019Starting as a good joke, Pikuniku quietly evolves into a nice little game with a crazy story. Simple and rather good in everything it has to offer, it’s in some ways a good avenue to introduce kids to the metroidvania genre.
-
Jan 21, 2019Pikuniku offers a few amusing moments, but its underwhelming presentation and simplistic gameplay make for an easily forgettable experience.
-
Jan 21, 2019Pikuniku is simple, silly, and ultimately kind of pointless. That being said, if you're looking for a short, feel-good experience, it might be up your alley.
-
Jan 21, 2019Its absurdity, alongside occasional quips do end up pulling their weight, but it’s not enough to save Piku’s journey from being inoffensive and simply forgettable.

Aug 26, 2021It's a nice simple 2D platformer. Nothing ground-breaking really. If you enjoy platformers, you'll enjoy this.
-
May 6, 2021One of the most underrated games ever and it didn't get a good advertisement. I didn't know it existed until it was free on Epic Games Store.
