![]() ![]() ![]() It tries to do a whole lot with its short campaign, yet it only does half of it well. Pikuniku on Xbox One is a tiny little game. Although, there is enough variety between levels to keep players engaged as well, with some of the levels being competitive go-kart races. The short length made us want to move on to more and more. However, with that, there are just not nearly enough levels. Like the game’s campaign, they are pretty short but that only maximizes the enjoyment. Though there are only nine, the co-op puzzle levels are Pikuniku’s best feature. Its brevity ensured that I stayed interested long enough to see the story through to its end.Īnd after that, you have the co-operative levels to enjoy. I definitely do not think that applies to Pikuniku though, as it is just as long as it should be due to its comical ups and downs. Now, usually there is some negativity associated with a game being short. ![]() Maybe there were more that had unique functions that I did not find, but I am not entirely sure how more hats with abilities would have been added when the game is so short. This is a concept I really loved, and it bummed me out when more useful hats were not introduced. My favourite of the two is a watering can that you use to water flowers for some platforming boosts. There are fun little cosmetics that can be purchased from the occasional store and, on two occasions, special hats that offer gameplay mechanics to push the game forward are present. In addition to seeking out laughter, Pikuniku’s levels provide plenty of collectibles to find and sometimes wear on your head. It is just a shame that some jokes are genuinely funny, because they make the less funny moments that much more apparent. Some of the best moments require some searching and exploration through the game’s levels, but there are some great laughs to be had in Pikuniku. In fact there have been several times that I laughed out loud because of well constructed jokes. None of this, however, is to say that Pikuniku is not funny. Yet, when several different characters have a habit of sounding completely bored, it just sounds like the game itself is bored. The game has a lot of jokes or little stories end abruptly in an attempt at dry humor. If the main characters in a video game feel uninterested, then I probably will start to do the same. Rather, it makes the characters involved feel uninterested and bored. The final boss’ anticlimactic ending is played for laughs, but it does not feel that funny. Physics based puzzles can often be frustrating in other games, but they are regularly the best part of Pikuniku due to some thoughtful level design that ensures items will roll or fly to where they should. You swing from grapple points with your feet, and you can kick buttons, barrels, boxes and other characters in order to solve puzzles or laugh at cartoony physics. As such, your key way of interacting with the world around you is through your feet. Immediately you will notice that Piku is nothing but a red oval with eyes and legs. Following this video, you gain control of your character, Piku, and begin exploring the world, starting to meet kooky characters. ![]() Sunshine’s robots to collect trash around your homes, you too can receive free money.
