Fun world to explore, and that's it.

Shit gameplay, stupid way of storytelling with bots and audio-logs.

But you get to see some cool stuff sometime, so 4/10, worth a few hours of exploring and NOTHING ELSE.

Actually, 3/10 cause they have the balls to charge you an optional tier for Fallout 1st. Just make your game f2p at that point.

Another fantastic title in the Pikmin lineup with only a few complaints that really only affect series veterans. I love the amount of depth (ha) in campaign which is a nice contrast to Pikmin 3, and the quality of life changes made to the cave system are greatly appreciated. The more lateral worlds allow for even more appreciation of world design, making this game the pinnacle of beauty in the Pikmin series. I think this is also the best incorporation of onions, as you always feel rewarded for the difficulty of obtaining them. I like how each Pikmin battle mode introduced has its own spin and dandori battles still retain the irreplicable thrill of competitive Pikmin play. The only bothersome elements are the general ease of access choices that really should have a toggle option. Automatically locking on not only hurts real time strategy, but also can be infuriating when you're unable to throw at the right target in a crowd. I can't for the life of me figure out why they thought it was a good idea to only allow 3 types of Pikmin in each territory, especially when they're more multipurposed than ever before. But these are all relatively minor issues that hold the title back for long time players like myself. Still a fantastic game.

After the game that felt like a demo but stretched to 2 hours(zoe1). This game finally takes more advantage of the movement with adding environmental grapples, ability to move while using gadgets(except one, because it's a heavy missile). Also of course with this better movement also there is more stronger and faster enemies to fight. Also gadgets have a better use this time fortunately, because some enemies dies more easily with certain gadgets. Also this game have a better pace, rather than hiding bosses to the end of the game, almost every level ends with a boss fight in this game. this bosses are excellent made btw, because they have gimmicks that you need to solve to beat them rather than just holding the shoot button like the first one. Not just that, levels are now more fun with making it more lineer but with a lot of variety(some in the air, some in mountains, some in valleys etc). Also fortunately you don't go key hunting the entire time in this one.

For the story, it's fine. It's more convoluted than the first one, but still more on the simple side and it's fine for me. Voice acting is a bit iffy but it's miles better than the shitty voice acting of the first one(maybe I should return one day for trying the newly released japanese voice patch for that game). Also they made the excellent choice of whenever a character shows up, it just shows a 2d portrait or full 2d animation rather than clumsy 3d models and animation of the first game.

My only complaint would be slow and inverted camera I think, but game rarely forces you to use it, because game handles everything with lock on anyway, so it's fine for me.

So I think this game is a masterpiece. If you haven't played it and you like fast movement with interesting gadgets/weapons, play this game!

this is the kind of game ive been waiting to play for like 5 years now. We need more games like this rather than the super safe garbage we've been getting this generation. And we shouldn't only rely on indi devs to make games like this.
The art style is unique and beautiful especially in 4k, the characters are just straight up fun and charming, and the story, while nothing groundbreaking gets the job done and is extremely relatable especially in this day in age. The gameplay is wonderful. Unlike most character action games I've played i actually wanted to use the combos and master them because there so easy and fun to pull off. This is a great gateway to the characters action genera, as it perfectly eases you into the gameplay style.
We don't need a sequel honestly. It's a perfectly well made game that end on a good note. I wish the developers well as they got shut down and hopefully this game will inspire more developers to make games or content like it.
The music is also kickass

Great, and has incredible heart. You can feel it every time the characters open their mouths, every time that they stop the main story and start explaining sci-fi tech that no one cares about, because KOJIMA cares about it. He cares about making it make sense, even the tiniest of detail like "how can the enemies not hear the codec beeping?"
Really, I love all the details. Like how before the Mantis fight if you punch Meryl she punches back, but when she gets mind controlled she just stands there. There's just so much love poured into all of it
Metal Gear in the hands of someone who doesn't care about it even half as Kojima does would majorly suck ass
