i ritually play this game every couple of months because it's comfortably short and very engaging to me. despite being widely regarded as somewhat of an RTS, Pikmin 1 is very simple, and can be enjoyed as a relaxing experience while still grabbing my attention from beginning to end.

unfortunately, the game is docked half a star because the pikmin are dumb as hell. they keep attacking grass and picking up random objects when im trying to fight things. and then they die.
