TechRaptorTrevor WhalenMar 20199.5/10Pikuniku is a short-and-sweet experience that's fun, simple, engaging, and smooth. I can recommend it to just about anyone.

TheSixthAxisMiguel MoranJan 20199/10My 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.

GameGrinAndrew DuncanJan 20199.5/10It'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.

TwinfiniteBogdan Robert MateșJan 20192.5/5Its 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.

VideoGamerColm AhernJan 20196/10This puzzle-platformer's puzzles and platforming might be merely alright – and the music is a proper irritant – but Pikuniku is full of so much cheer and loveliness elsewhere. It's bursting with character in a story that's equal parts silly and uplifting.
