    Pikmin 4 is an enchanting and heartwarming addition to the beloved Pikmin series, and it effortlessly earns a well-deserved 5-star rating. As a long-time fan of the franchise, I was overjoyed to dive back into the whimsical world of Captain Olimar and his tiny plant-like companions, and this installment did not disappoint in the slightest. The first thing that struck me about Pikmin 4 is its delightful charm. The game's art style is a beautiful blend of colorful landscapes and adorable character designs, creating a visually captivating experience that brings a smile to your face from the moment you start playing. The attention to detail in the environments is remarkable, and it's clear that the developers poured their hearts into crafting a world that feels alive and full of wonder. The gameplay mechanics in Pikmin 4 are as enjoyable and intuitive as ever. Managing and commanding the adorable Pikmin army remains a joy, and the strategic elements keep you engaged and challenged throughout the adventure. Whether you're solving clever puzzles, battling menacing creatures, or exploring the vast and diverse areas, every moment feels rewarding and satisfying. One of the highlights of Pikmin 4 is its emotionally engaging story. The narrative takes unexpected twists and turns, and it explores themes of friendship, teamwork, and environmental conservation in a heartwarming manner. It's impressive how a game about tiny plant creatures can elicit such genuine emotions, and I found myself deeply invested in the fate of Olimar and the Pikmin. The music in Pikmin 4 deserves special mention as well. The whimsical and melodic soundtrack perfectly complements the game's atmosphere, enhancing the sense of adventure and discovery. It's a pleasure to listen to, and the melodies will linger in your mind long after you put down the controller. The level of content and replay value in Pikmin 4 is impressive. With a variety of challenging missions, hidden secrets, and optional objectives, there's always something new to discover. The game's pacing is spot-on, striking a balance between relaxed exploration and thrilling moments of action. In conclusion, Pikmin 4 is an outstanding addition to the series that captivates players of all ages with its charm, engaging gameplay, and heartfelt storytelling. It's a delightful and memorable adventure that reminds us why we fell in love with Pikmin in the first place. If you're a fan of the series or simply enjoy games that offer a unique and endearing experience, don't hesitate to pick up Pikmin 4. It's a true gem and undoubtedly deserving of its 5-star rating.

    As a long time fan of the series, it feels like the perfect addition. It has more content than any of the previous games, it's more accessible, and the story clearly aimed at being enjoyable for a younger audience. A large part of the gameplay is centered around instilling multitasking and efficiency in players. Some of the forboding nature is lost in this entry versus the earlier games, but overall it's excellent.

    The wait is finally over! After what seems like forever, Pikmin 4 finally released on the Nintendo Switch. I can say with absolute certainty that the wait was worthwhile, Nintendo seems to have taken the gap between Pikmin titles seriously because they put out the best game in the series and I applaud them for it. If you’re a fan of the previous titles, you’ll definitely love everything about this entry. Visually it blows every other mainline game away. Controls are perfect and the camera is always where you want it. The story is more of the same but the locations and gameplay are superb. Trying to 100% everytging proves to be a legit challenege so while it might be easy to beat the campaign, theres a ton of replayability after the final mission. All in all I am extremely pleased with the game and truly hope the wait for the next one is nowhere near as long. Can’t recommend it enough especially if you’re a fan of Pikmin in general.

    An Easy, but Highly Enjoyable New Entry

    The game is very pretty for a Switch title and has a lot of fun new gameplay features that make for an enjoyable, laidback experience. The game is a cakewalk which any Pikmin veteran will breeze through, but is highly accessible for newcomers. The lack of a full co-op mode and proper gyro pointer controls similar to Pikmin 3 Deluxe are very disappointing. If you want the better co-op exeperience, get that game.

    Pikmin 4 for the win

    Pikmin 4 is an incredibly fun game for the Nintendo Switch! My daughter and I each started our own game and enjoy watching each other play. The character design is super cute, the gameplay is engaging and the difficulty is the perfect level for us to have a stress-free, chill time. There are a lot of side missions to achieve and it is overall a well developed game with a story line that is entertaining, and if you disagree or want to move on it can easily be skipped. There are much better reviews online, but I don't do this for a living, so try the demo on the switch if you haven't. The save data gets moved over to the game if you purchase it so you can continue playing where you left off.

    Excellent game with a style only Nintendo can pull off. What appears on the surface to be a child's game is actually a very challenging strategy game. An added feature to the fourth installment is a dog as well as a rewind time feature. As an animal lover the addition of a dog is wonderful and traveling through the environments is much quicker. The rewind feature is great because your can go back and correct a mistake instead of having to repeat a whole day which is time consuming. Overall, very fun and fulfilling. The very end is a bit more challenging but very far away from feeling impossible. I clocked in somewhere around 55 hours. We'll worth the money and time takes to finish it.

    Pikmin 4 is an absolutely excellent experience. Very cute and witty with some challenge intertwined. In anticipation of Pikmin 4, I purchased Pikmin 3 Deluxe to ease myself into the series, and I think Pikmin 4 was a great improvement. It looks beautiful, the controls are great, and there’s a good amount of content to last you a while. The only thing I wish there was would have to be local multiplayer, and not just Dandori Battles. That would be the only issue I have as Pikmin 3 Deluxe brought in Co-op play. A bit strange how Pikmin 4 didn’t include this feature.

    Pikmin 4 Is the Best One Yet

    I’ve been following Pikmin since the original GameCube release, and Pikmin 4 is easily my favorite in the series. The visuals look great on the Switch, and the new additions—especially Oatchi the dog companion—add fun new layers to the strategy. The controls are smooth, the levels are creative, and it’s more approachable than ever without losing the charm and depth longtime fans love. If you’ve ever enjoyed a Pikmin game, this is a must-play.
