The peak of pikmin gaming. The way you discovery treasure is amazing, plus the use of different pikmins feels natural, like youre not just using janked controls. Also, the pikmin's AI is so much better, and the combat is a lot more forgiving (except the empress bulbax, RIP). One of the best nintendo games ever, finally on my switch.

It was good. Way too short though. The ending sections with like the vanishing photo areas was kinda weird. A lot of thought and effort was put into this game, and it shows, but there was a lot of tweaking that they just missed out on. if there's a DLC for this game in the future... i'll def buy it though.
I really didn't like Death Stranding when I played it originally. I came back 4 years later, trying to see what people liked about the game.
I loved everything Death Stranding was trying to be, but Kojima just didn't connect and polish everything enough for me to give it anything higher than a 4.
The combat was amazing, the true battle sections were colorful and tasteful. The vehicles were a tad janky, but worked great. Map traversal was awesome, but sometimes a little too "old school" with the trial and error. I loved the horror aspects in particular (survival horror is my jam), and the BT sections were awesome.
However, the story just felt a little disjointed. Like Kojima was trying to tell me something, and I guess he did... just didn't draw out what exactly I need to get out of it. The whole sections with Cliff felt a little out of place, and I don't really like how they resolved his arc. Wonderful character though. Which character I loved through and through though- HIGGS. He was amazing. A thorough villain, and not purposefully evil becuase he likes to go mwah ha ha.
Some of the character development was stagnant for a good chunk of the game, and then immediately went into overdrive (Deadman & Die Hardman). I had no real problem with it,,, but I know Kojima can write better than that.
As a PS Exclusive, I'd tell people to try it out. It's a game you'll either love or hate. I mean, it's not the last of us,,, or snake eater. But it's insanely creative, wonderfully put together, and entertained me from the beginning to end. It's not just a walking simulator... remember that.

The story is so rich and in depth. The characters are so dynamic and well written. The twists and turns were legitimately so original, I could not predict anything. Your choices not only have direct consequences but long term effects as well. This is a masterclass on story telling. The gameplay was incredibly fun, and oddly nervewracking for a text-based game. This is one of the best stories I've ever seen. Also the politics were so nuanced and intricate. It really made the world felt lived in and that it really "exists". Anyone interested in "history" or "politics" (in the fictional scheme of things) needs to play this game.
