Piñata is not really a game. It's a VR exclusive demo/joke where you get to beat a piñata with a variety of objects in VR. That's all there is to it, there's no game loop or anything. It's simply not a game in the traditional sense. This seems to have been made a VR exclusive to prevent any comparison with non-VR 3D games, a comparison that this game would fail very badly at. Developers must learn that while VR is great, if the only thing that makes the game great is the VR, then the game isn't great at all. Imagine a game so bad that it was made VR exclusive, in the hopes that would prevent people playing it and comparing it to professionally developed games. The demo is buggy and doesn't work well with many VR headset types. While this is free, it's not really a game and doesn't offer any significant value or interest to serious PC gamers, and can't be recommended.

This is a game, about killing a pinata. and it's the greatest thing I have ever played. Nothing will every top this.

Игра "Piñata" — это увлекательная головоломка с яркой графикой и простой механикой. Цель — разбить пиньяту, накапливая баллы за удачные удары. Плавные анимации и приятный звуковой сопровождение добавляют атмосферы. Однако, несмотря на доступность, уровни быстро наскучивают из-за повторяющегося геймплея. Подойдет для коротких развлечений, но не для долгих сессий.

It's funny for like 5 seconds, but at the end of the day it's another vr fossil with a janky interaction base and vive wands for hands. Sorry time treated you this way Pinata. 2/10

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Games like Slay the Spire that keep the branching climb

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
