This is the best RPG game ever created, not to diminish from its successors in the series, which are also both excellent and well-crafted masterpieces, but Morrowind has a unique charm, atmosphere and soul, that not its successors, neither any other game before or after comes close to matching.
Pikmin 2 is a good game, with a good concept but at many times unnecessarily frustrating. The AI still hasn't gotten better and suicide all the time, and aiming and playing what's basically a RTS with a controller (instead of motion based controls with a pointer) is a painful experience. Collecting items to pay off the debt is fun, but given that Louis ate all the carrots himself and put us in a terrible situation, the postgame incentive to rescue him is not there for me.
This game had some really good ideas going for it. The open world, traversal of the world, and the importance of height, as well as the physics engine are all cool. The atmosphere is captivating too.
Unfortunately, none of the 120 shrines offer any particularly deep puzzles, compared to games like portal, or puzzle based games like the witness. The combat is very shallow, the inventory management and weapon breaking mechanic feels more punishing than incentivising you to explore to get better/more loot as Skyrim successfully did, and the lack of a good story or a proper lore again compared to other fantasy games like elder scrolls or souls (due to being a zelda game and having to conform to it), makes this whole game a demonstration of wasted potential.
