A classic and really holds up!

the somber lonesomeness of Olimar being stranded and running out of breathable air, the "mysterious" planet he's on filled with toxic Oxygen ;), the sense of wonder amidst bleak darwinian odds in the gentle journal entries he writes as he's won over by the Pikmin... just a particular spark and framing of the gameplay in this one that no Pikmin game since has quite recaptured, imo.

YEAH exactly! Love the kinda light element of FEAR and bleakness this one provokes amidst the more endearing stuff you get out of like the Olimar logs and the rise to power with your Pikmins :)

As cheesy as it is to say - I guess I'd say Pikmin 1 definitely feels the most 'immersive' for me out of the bunch! Wonderful spark and framing indeed! I just love it so much!!!
