I think I could play Tinykin forever.

If there were always more areas to explore, I would never get tired of this game. It's a beautiful hybrid of 3D platforming and stress-free, enemyless Pikmin, a combination I never would have come up with myself. Playing Tinykin feels like putting vanilla extract in your lemonade for the first time. (I'm serious, it's delicious, BUT JUST A TINY BIT OF VANILLA DON'T OVERDO IT) This new combination of things I already loved has blown me away.

Now, 100%ing the game was a bit of a drag at the end, but I did eventually find every single Tinykin and every bit of pollen in the house. If I could change one thing about the game, I would have included an unlockable radar for both Tinykin and Pollen. Since there are two exhibits in the hub area that you're meant to fill (the drinks and the artefacs), radar/detectors being rewards for completing each of these would have been perfect. There's no real reward for completion other than achievements, but the game was so delightful that I wanted to play every bit of it that I could.

The story is wack though, I rewatched the ending twice and still can't confidently explain what really happened!

I only have a Playstation now days due to time, that's fine I'll either wait for it on premium or if it hits a sale I'll grab it. When I used to play on Nintendo systems I really liked Pikmin so this description appeals to me.
So good. So perfect. I didn’t 100% it cause I know doing that would have put a damper on the experience for me
