Does a game have to be challenging to be fun? No, Pikmin 4 says forget about that. Just enjoy. And you know what, it's very enjoyable. This is peak gaming, it's relaxing, it's meditative, it feels good.

That it is coupled with gorgeous art and varied locations, a delightful music score, and tight controls makes it even more of a positive experience.

This is a rare occasion where I'm happy to do endgame missions because they keep upping the ante. So many different enemy types, new challenges to explore, and it just feels great to command 100 Pikmin.

I need to keep this log as a memory that I really do love Pikmin games, even when this one came out I was sort of not into the idea of playing it, but I'm so glad I did.
