I have very fond memories of the original Pikmin. Though I haven't ever completed it, it still holds a special place in my heart and I've always wanted to explore the rest of the series.

Well they actually put this thing on the switch and I was able to experience probably the best game in the series. Just wow, this game is awesome. I kinda want to complete it again in the future. There are some quirks here and there that annoy me like the targeting system, but overall, this is an absolute banger. Definitely give it go.

Oh my god. Oh my dear God what the actual hell were they trying to accomplish with this? This is quite possibly the absolute worst game I've played? I'm not very well versed in knowledge of game design. All I ultimately care about is if I had fun. But this game, it reeks. It reeks so much that even I can see how flawed it is from every fundamental level.

The graphics alone look terrible, and that's just the surface of the problems. I can deal with a fun but terrible looking game. But let's get the elephant in the room out of the way. The button scheme: DEAR GOD. This is the absolute worst design choice I have ever seen in a game. They could've improved the game SO MUCH if they had just programmed one button to use your power and one button that you can use to jump at all times. This idea to make the game simpler makes it actually even more tedious and hindering. Some costumes you can't even jump with BECAUSE EVERY BUTTON DOES THE SAME DAMN THING!?!?!? I probably wouldn't be as upset about that IF THE GAME WASN'T A FRICKING PLATFORMER! THE LITERAL POINT OF THE GENRE IS TO JUMP! And the powers are just so lame. Like I didn't come across a single costume that I enjoyed. Nor do I enjoy the costume-less character.

The only things I enjoy are the incredibly cursed dance sequences at the end of every section. Those are hilarious. But what you have to get through to get to those glorious cringe moments are just not fun at all.

Honestly, I just cannot believe this game is real. I wish the developers the best and I understand that this was a failed experiment, but I still just can't fathom how something like this can come to be.

I went out of this game loving the experience, but after sleeping on the ending, I must say that I'm a little mixed on some elements. I still do like the game, but I think it just goes a little too far with how twisty it wants to be. The mystery is engaging, but it goes on way too long. The final plot twist is what I'm most mixed about, mainly because it feels so jarring but also because it requires you to do very oddly specific things that no one in their right mind would ever guess to do. Should've ended at the revelation around the 3 hour mark I feel, because good god, that final twist is a bit much.

Fun game overall still, despite my criticisms. Just misses the mark of being something fantastic and instead devolves into stupidity.
