One of the most lovely nature-focused atmospheres in any game I've played. While the 30 day timer does stress me out, it made for very unique gameplay where I don't really know if there is anything like it in the series. I love the feeling of the "race to the finish" gameplay and it makes this game feel incredibly fast paced. The final trial, while short, was a pretty cool puzzle that felt like a good conclusion to the journey. My only gripe with the game is mainly the pikmin AI, it got INCREDIBLY frustrating at some points, especially during the forest navel. Most of the time though, the AI is at least functional enough. Anyways, I'm really glad I checked out this entry in the series and I can't wait to play 2 and 3!
