The gameplay retains the cooperative puzzle-solving style of the original but introduces new mechanics like a push feature, which divides opinions—some find it fun and chaotic, while others feel it adds little or complicates puzzles unnecessarily. While puzzle variety and challenge have increased, many players find the mechanics less innovative or engaging than the first game, with some inconsistencies and occasional glitches. Overall, the gameplay remains enjoyable for cooperative play but may lack the unique charm and replayability that made the original stand out.
- “The puzzles feel clever and satisfying, and the game keeps introducing new twists (like the “push” mechanic) that can turn cooperation into chaos in the best way possible.”
- “Overall, this game captures the essence of Bokura extremely well with an amazing story, very fun puzzle mechanics, and an insane amount of fun when playing with good friends, especially because this one now has a push mechanic.”
- “Bokura: Planet has some really fun and surprisingly challenging gameplay moments, and I enjoyed working through the puzzles.”
- “Turned the game's unique mechanic into nothing.”
- “The puzzles felt much more confusing and annoying than the first game, as they dropped the separate worlds mechanic which was the main catalyst of the puzzles from the first game.”
- “First of all, new pushing mechanic is extremely annoying and does not contribute to the puzzles at all; most of the time, it even makes it worse.”
