About Ruffnauts: Planet Pals
Ruffnauts: Planet Pals is a vibrant VR game from Vinci Games that blends platforming, arcade action, and fighting. Released on August 16, 2025, it’s exclusive to Meta Quest 2 and 3. The game tasks you with exploring shifting alien worlds, gathering loot, and using over-the-top gadgets to fend off enemies with your squad of quirky pets. Its core loop mixes exploration, combat, and co-op play. Ideal for players who want fast-paced, chaotic fun with regular content updates to keep things fresh.
Gameplay
You spend most sessions jetting through procedurally generated biomes, using tools like sticky bombs and laser nets to battle monsters. Controls are VR-friendly: swipe to dodge, point to fire, and gesture to command pets. Each planet has unique hazards and resources, pushing you to adapt strategies on the fly. Multiplayer lets up to four players team up or turn on each other in loot-based scrambles. Sessions rarely last longer than 30 minutes due to the frenetic pace. The combat feels punchy but lacks depth, prioritizing accessibility over mechanics.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate it 4.3/5, with 78% completing the base game. Average playtime is 6 hours, though 30% replay for achievements. Community moods are split: 62% "fun," 28% "chaotic," and 10% "frustrated" over repetitive missions. Critics praise the creativity of gadgets and lively co-op but call the story "forgettable." One reviewer wrote, "The planets feel alive, but the combat gets shallow fast." With 120 achievements, 68% have unlocked at least 50.
PlayPile's Take
A $49.99 pick if you crave colorful, zany VR action. It excels in short bursts and multiplayer chaos but falls flat for dedicated single-player runs. The gadgets and biomes impress, but combat repetition and a weak story hold it back. Worth trying for its energy and accessibility, but don’t expect lasting depth.
