Many noted that the storytelling relies heavily on lengthy exposition, which detracts from the immersive experience, and some felt that the emotional weight of the narrative was diminished by its execution. Overall, while the game offers a unique co-op experience with different perspectives, it struggles to deliver a cohesive and impactful story that resonates with all players.

  • gameplay
    67 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

However, many players feel that the gameplay lacks the depth and variety of the first game, with some puzzles being less engaging and the overall experience feeling repetitive. While enjoyable with a partner, the gameplay's appeal diminishes after multiple playthroughs, and the narrative shortcomings further detract from the overall experience.

    • “The gameplay is great to play with a friend.”
    • “Bokura: Planet has some really fun and surprisingly challenging gameplay moments, and I enjoyed working through the puzzles.”
    • “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.”
    • “The gameplay feels like a step back from the original Bokura, particularly in its replayability.”
    • “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.”
    • “Gameplay-wise, I do like it, but I feel like the push mechanic wasn't utilized that well; it could have made for some interesting puzzles, but it didn't.”

Overall, while the visuals are appreciated for their aesthetic appeal, technical shortcomings have been noted by several users.

    • “The visuals, audio, and music are excellent; I love the art style.”
    • “I had a couple of graphical issues (black lines popping in and out), but I'm not much of a stickler for that.”
    • “The level of detail when it comes to interacting with the world around you, including animation, graphics, and level variety, has diminished compared to the original Bokura game.”
    • “Also, a graphics interface would be nice; the constant screen tearing and 30fps lock is quite bothersome.”
  • music
    22 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received widespread acclaim, with many praising its beauty and emotional depth, often describing it as fantastic and gorgeous. Reviewers appreciate the new original soundtrack, noting its ability to enhance the overall experience and evoke strong feelings, while some also express a desire for the soundtrack to be available on platforms like Spotify.

    • “The music is chaotic and very distracting.”

    • “Soothing music.”
  • emotional
    19 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The emotional aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players feeling that the convoluted plot detracts from meaningful connections and emotional investment. While some appreciated the darker themes and found moments of warmth and sadness, others criticized the narrative for being less impactful and heartfelt compared to its predecessor. Overall, the emotional resonance varies significantly, with some players feeling disappointed by the lack of depth and coherence in the story.

    • “Despite its sadness, it had warm and touching moments that made me and my friend smile.”
    • “Amazing and heartbreaking story, fun puzzles too.”
    • “The end and the further ending made me cry for a day, loved it.”
  • humor
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “The shoving mechanic was hilarious, and a lot (not all) of the puzzles were communicated in a clever way.”
    • “It addresses really serious and heavy topics while still keeping the overall feel of the game relatively light with great funny dialogue between the characters, and it also fleshes each one of them out with the inner monologues as well.”
  • stability
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's stability has improved slightly compared to its predecessor, with fewer glitches reported by some players. However, minor graphical issues and occasional glitches remain, leading to the need for level resets at times. While the game is generally stable, it still falls short of expectations due to these persistent problems.

    • “The glitches, the crashes, the lackluster story, not worth it.”
    • “The only downside is this game still has the same little glitches that were present in the first one, which is a shame and leads to some levels needing to be reset.”
    • “Really, besides fewer glitches (in our experience), this is just a downgrade from the first game.”
  • atmosphere
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's atmosphere is highly praised for its beauty and haunting quality, effectively enhancing the story-driven experience. While some may find the pixelated style off-putting, the overall atmospheric design and cooperative puzzle-solving elements contribute significantly to its immersive appeal.

    • “Highly recommend, a very atmospheric and beautifully written story-driven game.”
    • “It's beautiful and haunting; it fits the game's atmosphere perfectly.”
    • “Visually, in terms of story and atmosphere, the first game has it beat by a mile.”
    • “I recommend buying the game if you're not put off by the pixelated style and its atmosphere, and puzzles, because the game as a whole consists of these things and cooperation between you and your partner to solve puzzles together.”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization has received mixed feedback; while some players enjoy the experience, others report significant issues such as a 30 fps cap leading to v-sync and stuttering problems. However, some users have not encountered any optimization issues when connecting via code.

    • “I didn't notice any problems with optimization when connecting via code.”
    • “The optimization in this game is impressive, allowing for smooth gameplay even on lower-end devices.”
    • “I appreciate how the developers have fine-tuned the game for optimal performance across various platforms.”
    • “The game seems fun (I already enjoyed the first with my girlfriend), but please fix it... it's capped at 30 fps, and for this reason, I'm having huge v-sync and stuttering problems.”
    • “On optimization issues, I didn't notice any problems when connecting by code.”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game frustrating, as the new puzzles are overly complex and convoluted, leading to tedious gameplay rather than satisfying challenges. Many reviewers noted a lack of clarity and coherence in the puzzles, which detracted from the overall experience and diminished the incentive to replay for alternative endings. Overall, the game seems to prioritize shock value over a nuanced storyline, leaving players feeling disappointed.

    • “The new puzzles were much more complex, but they also didn't make any sense at all. It was so convoluted and tedious to find the solution, as it throws so much information and interactables at you all at once.”
    • “Puzzles were frustrating instead of satisfying to figure out, and there was no incentive to replay for the other endings. It felt like a lot of the twists were made for pure trauma farming and shock value instead of the more nuanced storyline from the original.”
    • “This game took a lot from the first game and made it worse. The story is boring, the puzzles are tedious, and I had to search for answers purely because of their nonsensical style.”
  • replayability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users have mixed feelings about replayability; while some note a high replay value, others feel that the gameplay has regressed compared to the original, impacting its overall replayability.

    • “High replay value.”
