A very unique and "Nintendo" take on the RTS genre that sees you taking control of a stranded Elf-like astronaut raising strange plant-born creatures called Pikmin, which essentially act as troops for combat, barrier destruction, building, and other tasks (and are color coded to signify proficiency in different areas). With these Pikmin you'll have to navigate and dispose of hostile and bizarre creatures, collect plant pellets to increase your garrison of Pikmin troops, and collect parts for your ship within a 30 in-game day time limit to survive your trip home. It's not an especially long game but it is quirky, atmospheric, varied, and enjoyable enough to keep you busy for a day or two.
