Melatonin takes the rhythm minigame format of Rhythm Heaven, but adapted into a comforting and at times emotional journey through the psyche of an exhausted and burnt out member of the modern era who falls asleep on their couch every night.
It's a wonderful demonstration of rhythm gameplay storytelling and a must-play for fans of the genre after a long day of Existing.

I mentioned in my Pikmin 2 review that each Pikmin game is unique, and in this instance, 3 is the collectathon of the trilogy.
Most of the mileage comes from motivating yourself to collect the optional fruit from revisiting previous areas with new Pikmin types, which makes the immediate gameplay loop short lived and barebones, but I still had fun.

I couldn't finish Pikmin 2.
The fascinating thing about the Pikmin series is while each entry has similar mechanics, the gameplay in each entry explores a different vague subgenre to interpret the mechanics through, and in this case, Pikmin 2 is a dungeon crawler with far too much of a focus on combat, which makes the gameplay loop repetitive, frustrating and far too intrusive on the true mechanical core of Pikmin which is present in 1 and 3: Micromanaging your silly little tasks.
