Pikmin 4 (2023)

Review score

Nintendo Switch

Pikmin 4 is a highly engaging and enjoyable game that focuses on exploration and the feeling of being small in a human world. The addition of Oatchi, a playable character who can jump, swim, and carry the Pikmin army, fundamentally changes the gameplay and adds a new dynamic to the series. Pikmin 4 is a near flawless game that offers a rewarding and enjoyable experience.

What we like:

Engaging gameplay with new dynamic
Unique abilities and challenges with new Pikmin species
Strategic night missions
Helpful rewind feature
Dandori Battles and Challenges add competition and efficiency

What could be improved:

Limited co-op mode
Constant mention of Dandori can become tiresome
Minor issues with Pikmin getting stuck in the environment
