Much like Pikmin 3 tries to iterate on the first title, Pikmin 4 presents an evolution of the fantastic sequel from 2004. It's definitely more Pikmin, and if you enjoyed the open-ended direction of 2, you're going to feel right at home, here. I do feel like the game bites off more than it can chew; I think I reached the true ending at about 20 hours, and probably only completed 40% of the total objectives. Though if you don't push yourself to do everything, you should have a great time with this one. It's also the perfect way to enter the series, with a ton of quality of life touches, though if that is your choice, be warned that it will make it difficult to revisit earlier entries.
