If I was there things would've gone differently.

I think Tropical Freeze is designed better but this game has like 100x more charm.

This review contains spoilers

not sure if i could ever quite articulate just how much i love this game.

if i had to choose any game to wipe from my memory and play for the first time again it would likely be this one. theres something so captivating about exploring hallownest, a ruined kingdom where you are given enough breadcrumbs to piece together where to go and what happened to the kingdom in the past. I love discovering every secret Hallownest had to offer, while listening to the incredible soundtrack that paired well with every environment (my favorite environmental tracks were probably from the queen’s garden or the soul sanctum).

boss fights are the highlight, with each boss offering a ton of challenge while not being impossible to overcome. it feels incredibly satisfying to memorize boss patterns and perfect your charm set until you finally succeed. nightmare king grimm in particular took me a ton of tries to accomplish, but it was easily my favorite fight in the game.

truthfully i believe this is my favorite game of all time. i played it for the first time at just the right point in my life, and its left a lasting impact on me every since. team cherry achieved something great here, and i am very much excited to see how far they can take Silksong.

drop that boogie bomb like woah!!!

SA-X sections were cool but it was a bit too linear. I love the fusion suit though

Bit too linear but makes a lot of smart adjustments to the Pikmin formula and includes some of the best side content in the series.

Also introduced my beloved winged pikmin :)

I'll always come back to this game. It's probably my biggest comfort game.

Unironically one of the best Mario spin-offs.

A bit of a step down from the original but still good.

mediocre; far from my favorite pokemon. kinda a drag but i love me donphan heracross and typhlosion.

The more i think about it the more i hate it
