The platforming mechanics and the puzzles are all really quite simple. There is a hat in the shape of a giant pencil that allows you draw and a hat that acts as a watering can to name a few. Throughout the game you find yourself obtaining hats that allow you to perform certain actions. What does have an impact on the game is the hats you pick up along the way. There is no real in game benefit to obtaining them but the feeling of accomplishment is enough to have you scouring the world looking for treasure. Participating in activities such as those as well as continuing the story reward you with trophies which are Pikuniku’s collectables. There is even a section of the game where you play a game called PikDug which is a fun little Dig Dug riff. It is very simple yet still quite funny watching the characters kick each other into the air as they try to kick the ball up into the hoop. It consists of a sole match against an NPC where the first to three wins. You can participate in the Baskick Championships whenever you want. There is also a substantial mini game that I can only describe as a fusion of basketball and soccer which is called Baskick. These requests range from locating chicks that you forcibly removed from their eggs for their proud single mother through to drawing your own scary face for the town’s scarecrow which is a fun thing to see every time you run past it into town!

Instead you are free to explore the towns, meet the townsfolk and aid them with their requests. There is always a clear main objective throughout the story but there is no emphasis to continue forward. Pikuniku allows you to play at your own pace and is able to be beaten in roughly four to five hours. Ultimately the game poses the question to its audience: who really is The Monster in this scenario? You’d have to say that just as Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein Monster, the real ‘monster’ in this tale is the greed and avarice of humanity. Sunshine and are unable to oppose his destroying of their natural habitat and quality of life. As The Monster continues to explore the strange, dystopian like world, it continues to meet other creatures who have also fallen prey to Mr. Sunshine and his company, Sunshine Inc., who has tricked the inhabitants of the town into giving up their corn crops in exchange for money, which is of little use to them.
It is not long until The Monster discovers Mr. It appears that the monster’s presence is in fact rather infamous, much like Bigfoot or the Lach Ness Monster, with one shop owner even selling merchandise based on the monsters imagined and overly exaggerated appearance. The inhabitants of the picturesque world appear to be happy-go-lucky until the monster appears. The story follows this character whom I will henceforth refer to as “The Monster” as it leaves its place of slumber and begins to explore the world. The main character can only be described as a rather unsightly red blob with unusually long legs. There is no doubt that the world of Pikuniku is the most bright and bubbly dystopian universe that I’ve ever come across in a video game. And yet, as cute as it looks, this isn’t a Mr.
#PIKUNIKU SEQUEL PC#
Pikuniku, developed by Sectordub and published by Devolver Digital on both the Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam, is a puzzle-exploration game set in a vividly colourful world filled with a variety of alien-like characters which look almost reminiscent of Mr.
#PIKUNIKU SEQUEL UPDATE#
Given Pikuniku itself hasn't been updated for ages, and I can't save even when restoring the files to a state when I could save, I'm presuming it's either an update to Steam itself, or my system (Arch Linux).“The forces of a capitalist society, if left unchecked, tend to make the rich richer and the poor poorer.” (Jawaharlal Nehru, New York Times Magazine, Sept. Googling for "Steam File Write Failed" brings up zero hits. I've tried checking permissions, deleting this save, deleting this path, restoring both the second and third paths to a state when I could save, launching with no network connection, launching without Steam, but I cannot get Pikuniku to save. However, this file is not subsequently modified when I play the game. I can replace the file there with various old saves, which load as expected. The second two seem to contain save and config files. The first location is just the program itself, and has been unmodified for ages (and I verified, and uninstalled/installed Pikuniku just in case). These seem to be only three paths that Pikuniku is modifying: I keep incremental backups of my system, so I checked the last time I know the game was saving correctly, in November 2019.
