Though I have my share of problems with the game like lack of collectible items and minigame replayability (you have to restart the game to play a majority of cool minigames) and some more after-game interaction, the package it offers as a base game is still pretty sustainable and a really cool night out plan, and with the co-op being designed to be chaotic and crazy with a friend or family member. What makes it special is its pure absence of violence and some really interesting character conversations.
Pikuniku is a short fun 2D platformer about a two-legged bean clearing out stereotypes and helping out villagers and making new friends on the go finally kicking out the corporate rule. The photo says ‘X’ smh maybe it is from nintendo switch The story of the co-op is just two beans vibing out. What makes it more fun is its unique games like beating a toaster man, drawing a scary crow mask, Friday night Funkin, murdering a baby, hiding the body, joining a cult, playing volley ball, tax fraud and more really fun stuff. It is short enough to be finished in one dedicated setting. Now the character interaction, objectives, mission, dialogues are lightly humorous and fun to experience for almost all ages. Our role is to travel nearby areas gather more information, build a resistance (wait no), meet and make new friends, and ultimately defeat the corporate rule. After roaming in the village for some time we realize that a corporate man collects the corn which villagers grow and gives them “free money” in exchange and also kidnaps some of them in disguise of “free tour”. On coming outside you realize that the local villagers have created a stereotype of you being a beast but after you help the villagers fix a broken bridge everything is sorted out. The ghost later gives you a basic tutorial for movement and stuff and gives his best wishes for the outside world. This is a clear clue the game is giving us that it is not serious and it is all dumb fun. You are a small 2 legged bean who is awakened from his sleep after a really long time greeted by a mysterious ghost. The story in Pikuniku is short and linear.

Sadly though this game is exclusive to the Nintendo Switch and PC platform at the time of this review with no news of any other console release USE MOUSE TO DRAW
The main target audience being 7+ kids and I can assure you it will be extremely enjoyable for them. I am telling you, it is better than Forza Horizon 4. The co-op also introduces new features like usable ropes and cars. This signifies that coordination is a must among both players. Unluckily the person I was playing with was so clumsy, that it took us hours to complete what was actually childs play. The co-op is one of the best couch play experiences out there. There are also fifteen short 2 player co-op levels present in the game which are really fun and unique while also being challenging for the players, along with some minigames which are luckily replayable with a mere selection of level. Like a pencil hat gives you ability to draw, a watering hat helps in watering the plant, and my personal favorite sun shades that give you drip among the common peasants. Also, each hat gives you a unique ability. There is also one shop where you can’t buy anything but you can break every ceramic in there and after you do, the old guy in charge tells a short story which would make you pity yourself. There are also secret locations in-game that award the player with different trophies. There are also shops in some areas of the game from where you can buy different types of hats and collectibles in exchange for coins which can be found laying around all-around the map. Which was a problem for me because I wanted to replay some of the really fun minigames like the one where you draw stuff without clearing out my save files. Pikuniku plays out like a 2D platformer with some minigames and boss battles in between which could only be accessed once throughout the game. Gameplay is very easy to learn with some basic controls like arrow keys for walking around, space for jumping, press ‘X’ for rolling around the map legless like a bean, and ‘C’ for kicking stuff, you can also press ‘Z’ for talking to simpleton NPC’s on the way. The gameplay of Pikuniku matches up to its art design, “simplicity”.
