Is It Good: Yuppers, I am sad I waited so long to play it. Just wonderful.
Back of the Box: I hear Pikmin screaming in my dreams and break into a cold sweat.
Pikman 3 is a 2013 RTS adventure game that is charming, delightful, and most importantly: fun. I really loved the small flourishes and attention to detail the game designers took, with blippy sound effects and gorgeous visual design. Every sound, plant, environment, and written word oozes environmental storytelling.
I liked it so much that I did all the bonus missions and DLC and am very tempted to try a speed run. A great addition to the Pikmin franchise, and a wonderful game to start with too.
