Pikmin-inspired indie (with a dash of Zelda and a much tinier dash of Luigi's Mansion) with gorgeous and charming 2D art. Flawed, to be sure, even if some of the issues folks complained about closer to release have been mitigated by a recent patch, which adds things like an easier difficulty option and a way of recalling all the not-Pikmin to one location. Even so, I was completely hooked through my playthrough and found the exploration and puzzle-solving compelling throughout. Recommended.
