  • Modern Pikmin is peak Pikmin
Platform For Display: Nintendo Switch Edition: Game only
After alkost a decade, the game that was "almost finished" in 2014 is now among us. And luckily for everyone, is a good game! This entry in the Pikmin franchise brings some core changes to the gameplay and feel of the traditional games. The camera perspective is behind the main character, making it feel more like a traditional 3rd person adventure, even though you have the freedom to move it and change the angle. Another festure is the addition of Oatchi a dog-like creature that aids us in the adventure like a second user you can switch to, a mega strong pikmin, or a mount that lets you move faster and jump throughout the map. With no obligatory and precise motion controls like Pikmin 1 and 2 had for Wii, and without the added features and ease of use of the Wii U gamepad for Pikmin 3, Nintendo had to re invent the control scheme for Pikmin with standard controls. In a way, it was a challenge to go back to gamecube era Pikmin and re-think how could they modernize the franchise without striping all their main characteristics and making it a mess to play. How could they bring new and old audiences together in a product that feels both modern and true to the franchise? Well this comes as a control scheme change and how you aim, having now to use two analog sticks one to move snd one to aim with an auto-aim feature that snaps to near-by targets. You can break away of this and aim with more freedom, but this new feature comes handy for the new perspective, controls and dynamic aspect of this game. The level structure now brings open ended areas with a lot to uncover, and returning from Pikmin 2, many caves with mini adventures, puzzles to solve and bosses to fight. This is probably the longest Pikmin game, with an end game that is almost like a new game entirely. Multiple npcs, upgrades and side missions to complete, make this game the most complete and feature fledged game in the franchise to date. The new additions like the ice pikmin (allow you to freeze enemies and ponds), and the only-at-night glowing green pikmin are amazing and offer enough variety to the gameplay, the green ones even bringing an entire new game mode with them: night incursions. That's right, this time and for the first time ever you can play during night time. It is an entire new mode that works like a tower defense game, where you have to protect some sort of nests that produce a substance to heal characters. You'll have a window of time to protect these nests against waves of enemies. And the only available pikmin are the green ones. A great break from the traditional levels, and a fun distraction although a little repetitive. Story wise, the game does a great job maintaining the suspense, bringing new and old characters to the table, while even attempting to re tell some of the classic storylines of the franchise. In terms of presentation, this game was made using Unreal Engine, and this brijgs a slight change in style especially for lighting compared to previous games. It really is a nice looking game, and the light and materials look amazing for a tablet with 2015 tech inside. Music and audio are great, with really nice compositions and melodies that are instantly recognizable. Sound cues that help you navigate and understand whats happening around and near you. In conclusion, this is the best entey in the franchise in terms of sheer content and quality. There's never been another Pikmin game this fleshed out and with so much intention to make it a game for everyone. Visuals, music, sound, story and gameplay come together in a complete package that feels modern, and offers over 20 hs of gamplay, or more if you want 100% completion. A must have for pikmin fans, nintendo lovers, and every gamer that is looking for a charming and fun strategic adventure. ... show more

  • Very fun installment to a wonderful franchise
Platform For Display: Nintendo Switch Edition: Game only
I loved playing Pikmin 1-3. It's one of my favorite franchises. I played through Pikmin 3 twice - once on my own on the WiiU, and once on the Switch co-op with my boyfriend. We had an amazing time. When I learned Pikmin 4 was coming out, I was sad to hear it wasn't going to have that same option for multiplayer. It has been replaced with something similar to Super Mario Galaxy 2 where it's just a controller for someone else to hold and occasionally toss things at enemies. That said, I knew this when I purchased it and discussed it with my boyfriend. He was aware and has been playing his own games and admiring the game while I play it just fine. This is something that was pretty clearly advertised on Nintendo's site and other resources, so the barrage of 1 star reviews for this game *just* for that are super uncalled for. Especially because this is my new favorite game in the series. First, the game itself is absolutely GORGEOUS. I never imagined these kinds of textures could be on the switch. The title screen itself shows you a gorgeous preview of the landscapes you end up exploring and can be left on in the background as just a gorgeous slideshow. The locations you go to are more explicitly part of the earth and you really get the feeling of scale of yourself and the Pikmin compared to the world at large. Every area I arrived at I just marveled at how pretty and detailed everything was and enjoyed looking around as I ran around with my pikmin collecting treasures and building bridges. The gameplay itself has so many subtle quality of life changes that any new player might not notice, but for veterans of the series: -Pikmin who are collecting multiple items in a stack will stay at base once they know the pile will be empty when they get there (no need to worry about grabbing them before sundown!) -If Pikmin are building a bridge or other structure, they'll wait at the structure once they're done so you can grab them and continue exploring -Instead of having to find what pile works for what bridge, you make the materials from your own stash of "raw materials" so you always know if you'll be able to build it. -You can move your spaceship and onion's location in an area to several other "base" points so your pikmin don't have to trek the entire map for one treasure. -You can *rewind time* if you mess up or if your pikmin get stuck somewhere it's hard to find (and the game will actually offer this to you if you end the day with pikmin left behind!) This happened to me once and I was able to go back in time 4 minutes and prevent their deaths. But perhaps the greatest QOL update is in your new doglike friend, Oatchi. Oatchi, aside from being cute, is almost another captain on his own. You can train him to be stronger and do more things, such as: -Going and collecting any "idle" pikmin (I used this ALL THE TIME. I mapped it to a shortcut. His pikmin retrieval makes it so I can focus more on finishing tasks and less on checking my map for where that lost pikmin went!) This also made it so I almost never left pikmin behind. -Sniffing out basically anything you're hunting for (Looking for that last treasure on the overworld in an area? Can't find a cave entrance? Ask him to sniff it out and you can follow his trail right to where they are, even if they're hidden!) -Carries you and your pikmin around (even through water!!!) -Can help carry things (increasingly heavy things if you train him!) -Can help attack enemies that your pikmin may be weak to (especially helpful in dungeons where you're restricted to certain kinds of pikmin!) -Can be told to guard an area when you're in a defense mission! -Can ram into walls to knock down things teetering off the top of them! -And many more! Oatchi's AI and all the things he can do is probably why we don't have two player story co-op in Pikmin 4 and honestly? I'll take that trade. He is AMAZING and makes the game so much more fun. The game also introduced a little hub area before you head to explore every day! This little hub is simple but great for collecting sidequests, helping castaways, and even increasing your pikmin numbers before the day and timer starts. It's also where you can train Oatchi and buy upgrades from the lab. It's a brief stop every morning but always leaves you with something to do or upgrade for the upcoming day! Overall, Pikmin 4 is an AMAZING addition to the pikmin franchise and I hope we continue to get more going forward. The details and QOL changes here are extremely promising and I can't wait to see what we get next time. tl;dr: Pikmin 4 improves on previous games a TON and delivers a wonderful single-player experience for fans of previous pikmin games (Especially Pikmin 2!). ... show more

  • Great game
Platform For Display: Nintendo Switch Edition: Game only
This is a very fun game for old and new Pikmin fans with many new features Oatchi (your sidekick), new Pikmin types and items, strategic Dandori battles, etc. The game is also presented very nicely with nice design, music, and interface. However, there are some potentially deal-breaking issues that certain types of gamers may have with this game. First, the difficulty level may be an issue for more serious players. I personally did not have an issue with this as the difficulty does pick up later in the game. Though if you are very good at Pikmin or are looking for Pikmin 2-style level difficulty you may get bored. Another issue is that while included, the co-op mode is severely lacking. Unlike Pikmin 3 where there are multiple playable characters, Pikmin 4 only includes one, so the second player is really just relegated to throwing rocks and not actively participating in meaningful gameplay. If you are looking for an actual cooperative game I would suggest Pikmin 3, Overcooked, Lego games, etc. My final (although much less severe) issue is that the rescue team members talk A LOT. Though they do talk more in the beginning it is still excessive. While this game does have some problems I would nevertheless highly recommend this game to anyone who likes Pikmin or RTS games. I would not suggest this game if you are looking for a cooperative experience or are a gamer who enjoys fast-paced, challenging games (think Cuphead or similar). Overall I have highly enjoyed this game and happily recommend this to most gamers. ... show more

  • Excellent entry point to an excellent series.
Platform For Display: Nintendo Switch Edition: Game only
Game is fantastic as a long-time fan, but I imagine it will be equally fantastic for newcomers. Story is charming but it's a reboot, so no need to know the previous games' plots to understand it. Gameplay is like a more digestible version of the second game, with plenty of quality of life features that make controls feel wonderful on the Switch. There's also a *lot* of content. Nearly half the game is post-credits content, it's amazing how much they packed in here. If I were to gripe about anything, the insane amount of tutorial and story stuff that interrupts you every two minutes in the beginning of the game does get to be a bit much, but once that slows down, the game is amazing. If that's the kind of thing that might turn you off, I'd recommend starting with the previous game instead, which is also quite beginner friendly but has less of those interruptions. It's available on Switch and Wii U, the latter version I'd actually recommend if you're able to play it that way for the superior controls and the fact that you can find it used for quite cheap. Otherwise, if that doesn't sound like an issue to you, this game is easily the best way to get into the Pikmin series. ... show more

  • Dog is an odd choice.
Platform For Display: Nintendo Switch Edition: Game only
I really. Really Love Pikmin 1, the original. So understand that this is written from a very biased perspective. I miss the "move stick to control pikmin into a crowd in whatever direction" feature. I get we have to grow and evolve and use smaller and smaller controllers. But come on. Anyhow. MUCH better than 3 in my opinion. 3 made it feel like there was literally not enough time in the day. While ( spoilers so read ahead but not many ) this game basically acts like the first didn't happen?? Like if you hadn't completed the first game. :/ So it's trying to re-write history basically. But there's a dog! And he can be your friend =D carrying Pikmin is a REALLY nice feature because it has always felt like ants marching in a row. Doge is our friend and can safely transport Pikmin and move much faster. Doge also takes our loving sweet little friends into dangerous situations... The game is a much improved version compared to some previous titles and I'm very happy with the purchase =) Haven't finished it yet just due to time constraints but I'm enjoying the journey. ... show more

  • Campaign better than Pikmin 3. Couch cooperative play is much worse than Pikmin 3
Platform For Display: Nintendo Switch Edition: Game only
In Pikmin 4 you play as a little alien person exploring an alternate version of Earth. Standing only a couple centimeters tall, you explore ordinary Earthling settings from a bugs-eye perspective. You enlist the help of pikmin, ant-plant-men hybrids with varying abilities. Also, joining your adventure is a little alien dog. You control your alien fella in third person. You can also give simple directions to the pikmin and little alien dog like follow, fight, pick up, etc. You can also switch to controlling the little alien dog who has some extra abilities. The game is a mix of third person and light real time strategy. The campaign is longer and has a lot more variety than Pikmin 3. The world of pikmin is cute, colorful, and vibrant. It was a joy to explore and see what was waiting around the corner. Some of the new pikmin and game-play mechanics are interesting, others are lackluster. The story is nonsensical and uninteresting. There is too much exposition, game-play breaks, and pointless reading for how bad and unimportant the story is. The cooperative play is very disappointing after the great co-op experience of Pikmin 3. You could say co-op is almost non-existent. I expected the co-op experience to be improved upon, but instead it felt like two steps backwards. I give Pikmin 4 a score of 3.5/5.0 ... show more
