Holy cow! Pikmin is as good as they say?!

It took me only a few minutes to fall in love with everything about this game. The level design is absolutely insane! Each stage is jam-packed with goodies, baddies, beautiful scenery, and most importantly, endlessly adorable Pikmin! Working your ass off (or more accurately, the Pikmin's asses off) to collect all of the various fruits might be the most fun I've ever had 100% completing a game, and I only wish there was a little bit more content. As it stands I completed everything in the base game in a little over eight hours, and while there's a lot of fun looking side stuff to do, the core gameplay is so perfect that I can't help but want more of it.

I suppose that means I should move on to the other games in the series, I've heard Pikmin 4 is pretty good!

Great review. Wait till you play the 4th one it's the best. 🙌

Definitely play 1 and 2 before you get to 4! So many aspects of 4 work best as love letters to what came before

Alright, twist my arm! I'll play 1 & 2 first (which will be easy because I already own them on Switch AND Gamecube), and then move onto the tantalizing Pikmin 4.

yeah 4 is really fun but you might not want to go back to 1 or 2 after playing it. 1 is super short and 2 gets super tedious (if you want to 100% it)
