Pikmin 3 Deluxe – Likes & Gripes
⚠️ SPOILER WARNING ⚠️ For my first Pikmin experience, this wasn't too shabby. 😎 Likes Unique style of gameplay (efficiency is king)! Forgiving for newcomers. Difficulty options. Ability to switch between gyro and pointer controls. Time-limited days and missions aren't short to the point of feeling unfair. Olimar side story is longer than expected (well worth the $60 price in my mind)!* Gripes The story's on the short side. 😕 Using pointer controls takes away the R button to reset the cursor instead of switching between Pikmin and the other crew members. Olimar’s side story could have shown his finding of the S.S. Drake’s cosmic-drive key in a level but didn’t (missed opportunity?)... 🤔 Pointer can be finicky (which is unhelpful in Missions where time is of the essence). SCORE : 4/5 *The prologue is pretty brief (which worried me about the length of the epilogue), but the side story following the main story is rewardingly longer than expected.
