They really did just put 0 effort into making a somewhat good ending
Also Map Bot was by far the scariest jumpscare in the game, none of the other jumpscares even come close to it
Also was that Afton alive in the ending or was it Glitchtrap possessing him, or are these two separate entities now, either way it’s just really dumb
There’s a lot to just not like about this game, but overall I still liked it, recommend to anyone who can get their hands on it..........well, on sale or form somebody, I wouldn’t spend $40 again

July 21st 2023, many people called it Barbenheimer day, but some others saw it as a different day, Barbminheimer day, because after a ten year long wait Pikmin 4 was finally unleashed, and what a game it is.
Pikmin 4 is incredible, it once again increases the scale from the previous game, but in a MUCH larger way, there’s more variety in everything with all the treasures, many enemies new and old are here too, it’s all so much bigger, and so much better.
This game is two things, a culmination of everything from the previous games nearly fully realized in one game, and it’s also a spiritual successor to Pikmin 2 (much like how 3 was to 1).
This game has everything, big natural worlds to explore akin to Pikmin 1 and 3, many multilayered caves spread throughout the worlds like in Pikmin 2, and it’s also got a plethora of new things, like a brand new camera angle that puts more of a focus on your character while also making the world look even larger, and of course Oatchi, I like Oatchi.
Another thing I do love is that Louie is straight up just the main villain, at least in the second half of the game, it’s really funny, and the fact that unlike in Pikmin 2 where you don’t know if he’s controlling the final boss or if he’s not, in this game he just straight up is controlling it, or at least actively using it to harm you, shit is very funny.
Ok I know this review seems pretty rushed, but like man, I just adore this game so much, it definitely has its problems, bosses aren’t nearly as epic in scale as they were in 3 (though Groovy Long Legs and the ancient sirehound are phenomenal bosses), auto lock can definitely get annoying, but man, I just adore this game, go play it.

Pikmin!
I’ve always been interested in playing this series, and shit there’s no better time than now to get into this series, with the release of Pikmin 1 and 2 on switch, Pikmin 3 deluxe already existing, and with Pikmin 4 just a few weeks away, Pikmin mania is here and it’s time for others to join.
Pikmin 1 is a short and sweet adventure, it’s a game full of life, wonder, and Pikmin getting massacred in the wild, seriously this game may look relaxing, but it’s the exact opposite, it’s a game about time management, being stranded on a planet and your only means of defense being little carrot looking creatures that come out of an onion.
The gameplay loop of Pikmin is very satisfying, the simple act of building up your army and slowly but surely getting the pieces to Olimar’s ship is super fun all the way through.
The enemies all have great designs, they’re very cute looking until they fucking eat or crush or throw your Pikmin, then they’re terrifying, the bosses are also pretty fun, admittedly kinda easy but they look pretty cool and can actually kill a ton of Pikmin if you’re careless.
The game’s whole nature setting adds to the game very well, the areas being kinda connected through a whole forest theme makes the world feel very real and layered.
Not much else to say, it’s a fun little game that can be very stress inducing at times, especially if you’re running out of time and are not very close to the ship, but it’s a very solid introduction to this franchise
Now onto Pikmin 2

I played on hard so I could get the secret phase on the final boss, and all I got was the stupid space invaders mini game they had earlier in the game
But aside from that, I’m pretty happy with this game overall, it’s finally nice to get a good sonic game that doesn’t have absolute cringe dialogue
