Easily my game of the year, and a solid competitor for my favorite game of all time. The game has very interesting and well-developed characters, a fun turn-based combat system, and an incredibly in-depth plot. The replay value of this game is insane, I am on my fourth playthrough and am still finding new content I had missed previously. The game has its bugs, but Larian are doing an incredible job of listening to complaints and regularly updating the game to resolve them. This game is a miraculous combination of time, effort, creativity, and luck that I don't think will be matched for a very long time.

An incredible addition to the Pikmin franchise. This game is lacking in the simplistic charm of the previous Pikmin games, but more than makes up for that in the depth of its mechanics. The game is very polished and looks beautiful, especially considering the limits of the console. The only thing this game loses points for is the plot, which is fun but opens a lot of threads that are left loose. Despite that, this is an incredible game that I would absolutely recc9mend both to past fans and newcomers to the franchise.
