This is a fantastic entry that was well worth the wait. They enhanced the scope of the series so much with how huge the new maps are along with tons more collectibles than any of the past games. You're given a slew of gameplay changes between exploring these maps and caves with a vastly improved camera, night expeditions to take out some unruly monsters and dandori battles/challenges that work miles better than 3's missions.

My only complaints are that the game ought to have a new game+ for how the unlock system has it so you might end up unlocking some of the coolest gear and skills when you're nearly done with the game and the insane amount of times the game stops you just for the characters around you to talk.

With how well this game is doing, I sure hope it won't be long until we see more Pikmin!
