*SORR: Pikmin 3

Reasons to like it:

  • The already amazing gameplay from the first two games is improved upon
  • More strategy has been added and is more of a focus in this game
  • The new Pikmin types add fun and variety 
  • Mission mode is fun and adds to an already 20+ hour story
  • The graphics are the best so far on the Wii U (Yes, better than 3D World IMO) and the artstyle is very nice
  • A nice balance of difficulty 
  • The game will make you smile because it has a lot of humor and charm
  • The music does an awesome job at setting the atmosphere
  • The GamePad is actually useful in the game acting as a map

 

Reasons it could be better:

  • The Bingo multiplayer could've been better
  • A Co-OP story mode would've been pretty cool
  • The white Pikmin are missing :( 

 

Overall, Pikmin 3 is not only worth the long 9 year wait, but is also the best Wii U game currently released hands down. (Actually in my Top 10 games of all time) Pikmin as a series won't be for everyone, but if you liked the previous games or just like strategy games, Pikmin 3 is awesome. My "issues" with the game are more like nitpicking and doesn't hinder the game at all. Bottom line: if you own a Wii U, you must buy this game as it's currently the only "must own" the system has.
