“Small Child in Big Scary World” games don’t really appeal to me, and this game really didn’t do anything to disprove that feeling. Sorry to say, but I think that this game is a bit on the overrated side. It’s fine and functional, but I can’t really remember any real highlights. More annoyances about some of the scenarios in the game and how it didn’t really do much for me.

The cave system flat out destroys this game by turning it into a rng bullshit system with dull locations and forgetting all about the timer. While the fact you’re returning to the Pikmin 1 locations, it does end up meaning it doesn’t have that much of a identity as it borrows heavily from Pikmin 1. I’m sorry, but this is the worst Pikmin game in my opinion. Even Hey Pikmin was at least unique and different from the previous games.

Yes, it is basically classic Paper Mario rpg style combat. The problem is that I wasn’t a big fan of that gameplay style and I found it to be leagues weaker than Thousand Year Door in terms of writing, animation, graphics, and pretty much everything that really made it fun. If I had to do yet another stupid freeze the water drop and try to knock it around puzzle I’m coming back to knock half a star off this game.
