For better or worse, I've found myself to be someone more willing than most to give games with extremely controversial or taboo subject matters a chance. This isn't to be some smug contrarian, but more so because I don't want to be swayed away from a game because of an incorrect initial reaction from the public that would label it as degenerate filth, while the game itself is actually a nuanced and interesting perspective on those subject matters that would otherwise be buried under an avalanche of controversy and dismissal.

With that said, having this game on my PC feels like it actively revokes my entry into Heaven. This is a disgusting game made by disgusting people, who I hope find some salvation through extensive therapy, or more preferably, extensively memorising the cracks and stains on each of the four walls of their cramp jail cell.

History time with wreith! One of the contestants was a 17 year old girl who was legally incapable of giving consent, meaning The Guy Game legitimately distributed child pornography! When she was rightfully granted an injunction to discontinue the games distribution after suing Topheavy Studios; their actual response on their website was "the Man has decided that our fun and hilarious presentation of spring break revelry just wasn't appropriate for the world of gaming. Maybe we should have blown some sh!@ up?". How pathetic!

Pikmin is beloved for a reason: its a timeless nintendo classic, able to express so much charm and wonder in a lot of its aspects.

But most importantly, Pikmin 2 is a game that... betrays you. It gives you multpile times a high sense of security, only to crush your hopes with an unexpected danger that will make you paranoid for the rest of the adventure. Feeling like the road is clear? Too bad, here's a spider with an exploding head that come sat you while a boulder falls from the sky.

Remember that enemy that felt really easy? She is back with an army of bloodlust fetuses that will not hesitate at destroy you.
Remember the enemies that only appear only in the toughest dungeons? They are outside your house now: have fun!

Feel like the caves are too easy and repetitive? Here's a castle in the middle of the lake.... don't worry about it, just jump in.

The amount of shocking and even horrific moments Pikmin 2 for me are able to outshine the flaws the game have in terms of gameplay, and mixes with a sense of discovery and wonder that leads to one of the most interesting experiences in a Nintendo title. An high recommendation for me.
