After a couple dozen hours roaming the world of Pikmin 4, I have…

It looked like a 90’s version of the Mafia games with a star-studded cast (more on that later). All the marketing leading up to the games release looked like a chaotic shooter gang war. The issue is what was released was nothing like the marketing led us to…
