If there's ever a Pikmin game you should play in your life, it should be the one. If not this one, then Pikmin 3 Deluxe, but 4 is the best entry into the series so far.

It's a beautiful, gorgeous game with bizzare yet charming enemy and character designs and a lovely atmosphere. It's a satisfying, multi-tasking game where you have to juggle various tasks before time runs out each day. It doesn't sound fun, but it is, and trying to optimize how you go about your in-game days is part of the fun.

I think if you like strategy games, you'll like this one. If not, then check out the demo on the eShop to see if you like it. Be warned: the early game is a bit hand-holdy, but it stops being like that after the one hour mark.
