Had so much fun with this game and I'm really happy about it. The Pikmin games have such a high standard of quality (except for the one) and it survives all the way through to its fourth iteration. I was apprehensive about the dog but when I learned it was basically a new take on a second captain I was fully on board. The way this series changes with each sequel is perfect. Adding quality of life changes to general gameplay while introducing new mechanics and content that don't overstep what makes the games so fun since the very first one.

My complaints are that managing your squad combined with Oatchi can be a real pain, and pikmin behavior around movable objects has some weird quirks. I also think there are a couple too many timed challenges.
