FINALLY a new Pikmin game. And I was ready and here for it. Very possibly the best Pikmin game. Large and expansive with even a (small) twist or two in the story. Moving the camera perspective to be more third-person than top-down was also a great call for making you understand the scale of the environments (that are bigger and more beautiful than ever). This game truly has everything you could want out of a new Pikmin campaign including some legitimately tough (optional) endgame challenges, 2 new Pikmin types (ice and ghost), and even a smaller scale re-imagining of the original game with Olimar collecting his ship parts that you can play and replay within the campaign.

My ONLY real complaint with this game is the multiplayer offerings. Campaign co-op is essentially non-existent. Also, Dandori Battles are, in my opinion, a bit less interesting than Bingo Battles. They're still fun and allow for a bit more customization (selecting what type of Pikmin will be used, for example), but it feels more stagnant. There are also fewer stages than there were for Bingo Battles, which is disappointing.

If these are my only problems with Pikmin 4, then this game did well.
