Liked it a lot overall but Pikmin 4 is nowhere near the best of the series. Nicely polished with super charming visuals, but the complete lack of challenging multitasking and a true mission mode (the two aspects of Pikmin 3 that kept me playing for 60+ hours) left me feeling tepid. Some of the new changes are a welcome addition, riding around on Oatchi and upgrading with raw materials was fun, but the flaws became so glaring by the final ending that I can't imagine I'll pick the game up again for a long while. Would be a fantastic experience if it weren't for the auto lock-on and constant dialogue interruptions, but even though they suck (an understatement, honestly) I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to just about anyone. I'm thrilled we have a Pikmin 4, here's to hoping 2033's Pikmin 5 will be a little better :)
