Pikmin 4 reviewed by Jada Griffin on Nintendo Switch
“Like the three wonderfully weird mainline games before it, Pikmin 4 has once again captured my heart with its charming creatures that fearlessly follow commands regardless of their own well-being. The difficulty leaned a bit too much towards the easier side, but all new features like ability upgrades, a pair of new Pikmin, and our loyal sidekick Oatchi add some variety to the traditional gameplay by offering options other than the grab-and-throw Pikmin formula of the past. Coupled with the largest number of enemies to battle, treasures to collect, and awesome post-game content that incorporates some great callbacks to the earlier games, I’m left with not just a positive outlook on Pikmin 4, but the direction the series is heading as a whole.”

How are there no difficulty settings?????
The "accessibility" features here really are the antithesis of what Pikmin has always been about.
This game abandons what made the series great
This game is a freakin’ masterpiece.
Pikmin is my favorite series on nintendo, hopefully it becomes more popular so nintendo releases more Pikmin games.
Everyone please give the demo a try! It’s a big demo and you won’t regret it. This is, in my opinion, the best pikmin yet! If it does well we should see another leap in the formula.
The reviewer was really uncomfortable saying the word "homage."
No co op mode in this one? That is unforgivable. Pikmin 3 had a phenomenal co op mode. No purchase for me. No difficulty settings, no co op, no online…. How did you score this a 9?
Great game.. my favorite RTS
Wish Nintendo wouldn’t focus on this series.
Never saw the appeal of these games but I'll have to try it out
They gave it an 8 out of 10
they gave it a 9
Looks dull. Is the solution to every puzzle to throw Pikmin at it?
Seems like Nintendo cant make a bad game anymore !!!
This reviewer doesn’t know how to review. So damn boring. This review is not legit. Sorry
Waiting for the PS5 review
There's a reason why we never see any living people in the world of pikmin. Something happened to them
Jada’s voice sounds so different in this video!
Always been a die hard Pikmin fan. Glad the series is getting the recognition it deserves
"9"
IGN made a lady play this baby game 😆
Looks exactly like Wii Pikmin, no graphical improvements whatsoever. 👎
0/10. One of the most undeserving sequels of all time.
The demo convinced me to buy
They should name it Pinkman 4, because just like Jesse, this game is cooking!
Just finished the main quest…
So disappointed that the “end game” as the reviewer mentioned is effectively just a new level.
No new game plus. No hard mode. So disappointed.
They gave it a 9 btw
Can an 8 year old play it or do you need to be high IQ ?
Lemme.peel that onion baby
It deserves goty🎉
is there a mission mode type thing

Great review thank you
I've been aware of the series from the very first game but this is the one I'll buy and play. It looks great!
My only 2 things I’m not a fan of is you can only use 3 types of Pikmin at once and there is basically no end game content beside exploring empty areas.
How did you get 9999 of every Pikmin type? There’s only a finite number of monsters to convert to seeds, so once all 6 areas are cleared, all that’s left to grow Pikmin are Pellets.
They gave it a 9
Finally got my hands on it today!
This woman’s voice is poison to my ears
Not to bash the game, cause it was great, but the main game bosses felt like mini bosses. I'm hoping the post-game content will be better.
This game is medium-hard difficulty overall.
Too bad co-op is a bummer… Was in between this game or another one 🤔
The free demo is actually HUGE and gets past the long intro the reviewer mentions into the flow of the actual game. Everyone should play it!
The camera angle looks better than 3.
Tiny spoil.
The best and probably the very last game for Olimar. Time to go home. 😢😊❤ 🌎
This game hits diff when you played 1,2 as a kid
IGN – Why can't your videos be in 4k, or at least 1440p? This 1080 resolution is so old now…
This game is a def 10 in my book.
