Pikmin 4 has successfully achieved mass appeal. It's the most successful Pikmin game by far, and I'm glad that this series is finally getting the recognition it deserves! It just isn't the series I fell in love with anymore, so to speak.

Sorry for being dramatic, but I'm just being honest. Even though I did enjoy my time with Pikmin 4, almost none of it has stuck with me post credits. We've gone full 3D collectathon, a long 30 hour string of small dopamine hits and fun references. Once that dopamine made its way out of my system, I haven't given it much thought.
