Final Thoughts
Gemma Ryles
My love for Pikmin 4 only grew stronger the more I played. The animation is incredibly endearing and creates a wonderful atmosphere throughout the game. If you don’t mind a breezy game that doesn’t offer up much of a challenge, I implore you to check out Pikmin 4 and see what these cutesy little creatures have to offer.
