After playing all 4 mainline games with throwing them around and solving intricate puzzles, I decided I gotta finish the series so I booted up my 3DS and started HEY?!?! PIKMIN. A strategic puzzle solving task managing series of games turned into a very slow platformer where you throw stuff. The first half of the game was very slow and samey, I was just pressing forward and spamming the touch screen, throwing Pikmin. Towards the second half of the game, it got pretty enjoyable. Every sector has bosses where you gotta hit 3 times basically and you beat them. The final boss was that big thing from Pikmin 1. But the FINAL FINAL boss in sector 9 (google said there’s 8 sectors), is a venus fly trap plant thing with 3 heads, i beat it, plant thing grows legs, I beat it, then plant thing turns into a dragon and starts firing lasers, I’m like yooo wtf and first death of the game, and how it gonna turn into dark souls. Pretty chill overall experience but it ain’t necessary for the mainline series.
