for some reasons ive never played pikmin in the entirety of my life and i know that would sound weird and it probably is weird because this game was right up to my alley its charming it has an addicting gameplay loop and theres some super cute babies just roaming around the map i love them pikmins are adorable
pikmin is some real time strategy game and I'm really weirded out by the fact that I enjoyed it since I'm stupid as a rock and strategy is not really something I vibe with maybe use the word impulsiveness so yeah
olimar got to this planet and crashed his ship and finds a new lifeforms and the 2 things he thinks is "damn they look like some carrot brand on my planet . delicious" and "I shall throw them" which is pretty funny if you ask me
pikmin are super cute and they follow olimar to be used to do lots of things like killing enemies and getting stuff using they cooperative strength you will see 0/30 on objects so you will know how many you need them and also they come in different kinds for different situations theres red pikmins which are the standard ones but also are strong against fire yellow pikmins can be thrown l higher and can take bombs and blue pikmins which can go underwater so you got a wide array of strategise to do with these babies
main goal is taking back olimars 30 ship components lost throughout the planet and specifically in 4 + 1 levels using pikmins in a 30 days deadline
the levels are super sweet and memorable and have some great somber ambient music to boot so there's something too and actually have a lot of stuff going on so you have to properly distribute pikmins throughout the levels for time management
you got some idk 30 mins ? of daytime and then you gotta get back to the ship because the night is scary or whatever
and thats it people that's the gameplay loop incredible I know but if I tell you that they laced this with drugs I'm sorry it was quite addictive if you ask me I was always like "one more day……. just one more" and controlling pikmins really is a frenzy yknow they got some wacky AI and using them isn't even that fun you get to divide them in groups if you want to select a SPECIFIC pikmin to throw yellow pikmins with bomb explode at random because they're stupid sometimes while following you they'll get stuck or just drawn or just follow an enemy and try to battle with them until they get swallowed you get a lot of pikmins to begin with because every enemy carcass can be turned into pikmin seeds that may become pikmin flowers if you leave them growing and there's a lot of I have no idea how they're called but I call them pikmin money l the ones with the colored numbers like 5 10 20 and so on ok so like this chaotic nature of pikmins is kinda fun if you ask me they really feel like living things they get distracted and sometimes want to play and sometimes they make mistake because they're stupid and cute thats the truth and I like this aspect of the game if you ask me
umh I mean the end there's not much more about it apart from the gameplay loop I told you about the final boss the one you get to fight after getting all the 30 parts is kinda shit mainly because the battle system is already shit so if you put a whole ass guy that swallows pikmin whole of course you're gonna have a bad time but apart from that
great game
i also enjoy olimars diary entries at the end of the day where he talks about some things that he discovers which are actually gameplay tips like "oh I discovered that the beetles who run if you throw pikmins on top of them they spew nectar" which are always a good things to know and also his personal thoughts about pikmins that absolutely fucking kill me like "were pikmins aggressive because I came here . they seem to be trying to get on top of the natural order with my help. am I the one being used" that's fucking funny olimar youre funny
oh also I played with the 4k textures really looked gorgeous
