I believe Pikuniku stands out the most in terms of its gameplay style. It has a very unique and interesting style, as its graphics, dialogues, and even the way the in-game sport, baskick, is integrated into the main storyline make it special. What's particularly fun is that baskick can be played with a friend in offline multiplayer mode, making it a great party game as well. The game's graphics fit perfectly with its style, though they are not the main focus, which means it can run smoothly even on a low-end "potato" PC. The dialogues are excellently written, and the characters are hilarious. One of the best things about the game, in my opinion, is the ability to play with a friend, whether it's the aforementioned baskick tournament or shorter levels designed for co-op gameplay. Another impressive aspect of the game is the movement of NPCs. Their animations are so well done that they almost feel like real players. This is especially noticeable during the baskick tournament or when you start kicking an NPCโ€”after a while, they will even fight back! Overall, I think Pikuniku is a fantastic and entertaining game that is definitely worth its price.

Emailed the devs to show them a video of my 3-year-old having the time of his life kicking the NPCs around town, to which they replied: "This is so lovely! And it make me really happy! Thanks for sharing" So basically best devs and also great game (we still do the driving levels every Friday)

Very cute and charming game. I wish you didn't have to replay the entire game to get all the achievements and trophies but it's short enough to not be a big issue.
