Only reason this isn’t a 5 is because I haven’t replayed it and whenever I decide to do so I think it will fully determine how I feel about it as a whole and how it compares to the other games. My favorite part about this series is replaying the main story to get a lower day count and just generally optimizing playthroughs and the way Pikmin 4 is structured (similarly to 2) makes it seem like there is not much incentive or fun to be had with trying to do that here. I could be wrong though, and I still had an amazing time playing it on my first playthrough. This is my most anticipated game ever and while I’m happy just for the fact that it’s fun and we have new Pikmin content in general, im really thankful that this series seems to be finally getting the recognition it has deserved for so so long.

See you guys in 2034 when Pikmin 5 finally launches.
