8 Hilariously Bad Reviews for Pikmin 4 

While he was reading about the game devs being lazy, I just happened to be playing the game and scrolling through the massive piklopedia.

My only gripes with the game is that there’s no harder difficulty mode, surface enemies don’t respawn, and the auto lock (they could have just added something to turn it off)

“When I pay $60 for a game, I expect it to be AAA quality.” Have you seen the AAA games that’ve come out this year though

Some people can never be satisfied. Though I definitely do agree that the co-op mode isn’t very good unless you have a 5-year old younger sibling who wants to play with you. Also, the groovy long legs exists and yet people have the audacity to say that there are no good bosses in the game lol

3:30 do people actually think 30 fps is so low you need to tell people before they buy the game? I bet most people didn’t know it ran at 30 until someone told them

Giving a game a 0/10 rating because it has no 60 fps... gamers, I swear. I get nauseous from 60 fps, always surprised people care so much about that. Almost all these "reviews" are laughable at best. I do agree the game feels a bit easy and handholdy, but you know what I did? Tried more games of varying genres to challenge myself. Something these dudes could benefit from, methinks. Pikmin 4 is charming as heck and in my opinion the most fun installment in the series yet! Finally getting through the Sage Leaf's trails after failing over and over again is such a rush of accomplishment!

Nintendo needs to put an option of turning on and off the auto lock, that's my only issue about the game, everything else ranges from good to perfect.

Never listen to a critic. Listen to someone who has sunk hours into the game. They objectively know more than the internet critic who’s trying to generate rage clicks

I feel like the folks who complained about the low difficulty did not even bother to go beyond the first area or make a night expedition

How dare they give it anything below 11/10 sounds like a dandori issue

the 2nd review is fair honestly, just with a weird rating for some reason but it's 100% reasonable

I think the biggest dandori failure here is that all of these critics didn't know enough about pikmin to know there was a free demo.

Some of the reviews just being "switch bad" is really funny to me.

These guys will never learn the true art of dandori.

Sounds like alot of DANDORI ISSUES to me. Hard doesn't always mean fun. Nor does easy though. Pikmin 4 easily is my game of the year. Hands down. Even beat TOTK somehow.for me, and I love Zelda way more than Pikmin.

In my opinion pikmin 4 is like a 7.5 or 8 out of 10 my biggest issues were the difficulty needing to be ramped up like it was towards the end of the game and in night expeditions because those were the truly memorable moments for me because of it being challenging

5:04 every game should come with a free steel water bottle

I DO actually agree with one of the reviews slightly, and that's about how you can't turn off the babymode. I feel like I should be able to throw more than the minimum amount of Pikmin for things.

Sure they forgot the original fans, it's not like they brought back almost every enemy from pikmin 1/2 and caked it in nostalgia and references /s It is easier but 2 was too hard before. Electric being an instant loss was brutal, plus seeing them stunned on the floor is funny. The story has a few unexplained parts but overall I like it better than 3. I wish it fit together with 1 and 2 more rather than being a reboot, but it is still good to me.

0:51 "challenge games" he literally said that KIRBY is more dificult than pikmin

There are dozens of problems with this game and I find it funny how most people complain about these issues and even went full on rant mode with the same issues in previous games but when it’s pikmin 4 they say they don’t care because this is the first pikmin game in 10 years Yep everyone’s in denial and no one would’ve liked this game this much if it released right after 3

Shoutout to ffp for coming up with a well constructed argument on why he doesn’t like the game, came so close to giving it an honest review, except for the fact that the things he listed don’t add up to a 1

You say these are bad reviews but the one about how it’s so easy and it abandons the following fan base couldn’t be more true, they’ve done the same with SSB and it hurts that they don’t care about the people who will stick around just for more sales

Dandori issue

“The game is too childish” yeah because it’s mostly meant for kids?

I love Picmin 4 only thing I wish they update is the enemy Spond above ground then I would love it even more

The fact that the first guy said that all the enemies were easy shows how he just played 10 minutes of the game 💀

To RealCSGaming: You have a massive Dandori issue.

first review: all you do command your army! terrible game! the entire pikmin fandom: foolish outsider... YOU MUST NOW FACE THE WRATH OF THE GATLING GROINK!

It’s always those stupid Zelda fans who say everything is overrated and everything else is trash except their game

Have you watched "Pikmin Hybrids"? Pikmin fans are talking about that video. (Do not forget about the special offer the writer left in thedescription.)

Twinkytwonk clearly didnt get to the sage trials.

I still think Pikmin 4 is overated, but it's good on its own, not weighed down by the other games in the series

Cute turnip bois, perfect shape for pegging holes I mean plugging holes

1:35 ofc their name is zeldafanboy a war is going on rn against which should be goty

Nintendo WANTED Pikmin 4 to be newby friendly! Thats why it’s easy! CONSIDER THE PEOPLE!

Parents still haven’t learned to limit what their kids can do online. Real Dandori issue there.

"No new mechanics" sounds as if there wasn't even an attempt to look for new mechanics. Also, if you want an "easy" game to be difficult, then just make it more difficult yourself. There is no need to use Oatchi all the time or to have the full amount of Pikmin with you.

Funny enough, Pikmin 4 is the most fun game I've played in a long time.

Don’t forget about GameXplains review

"Game is easy when you can read" *Wasn't aware the game has a story*

This video is a 0/10. It didn’t even come with a steel water bottle

These people shouldn't assume to make these types of stupid reviews to have 0 out of 10 that make no sense on metacritic.

"This game is too easy!" -Pikmin 3 and 4 players "This game is too hard and stressful!" -Pikmin 1 and 2 players "No." -Hey! Pikmin players

most people here are complaining about the easy difficulty even though they forgot this was made by a company that make games catered for younger people

you know i bought pikmin 4 as my first game and i liked it so much i wanted to look at the fandom and buy the deluxe titles. imo pikmin 4 did it's job

i'm your 1000th subscriber, please do a top 10 killer bean moments and then a playthrough of the game when it releases please 🙏

There’s no way they were playing the same game as us 💀

the second one hasn’t done the pain of trial of the sage leaf

The complaints about pikmin 4 being too easy is actually true. I love it! But like pikmin 3. The only time you can actually fail is by actively trying to die.

Some of these are valid points. Pikmin 4 has some annoyances here and there. Too many tutorials, too many interrupting cutscenes and dialogue boxes. I mean, we get it. The pikmin are hurt. You don't have to tell me. I feel bad already. Now I'm just annoyed. Like when your teacher walks in on you getting the wrong answer on your assignment. On the other hand, there are many good things about the game. It seems like these reviewers have no heart whatsoever and just want to talk trash, which is ridiculous considering some of these are from actual companies. I don't think Pikmin 4 is for everyone. I can't defend Nintendo completely. I stand by that Pikmin 1 is the best installment, and Pikmin 2 is the most fun, but Pikmin 4 is pretty good. I wouldn't give it less than a 7 out of 10, but objectively, it's a 6 at worst. Most would agree that it's an 8 or even a 9 when you put aside the annoyances. I don't know what those critics are smoking to give it a 0 or a 3. It's definitely not perfect, but who hurt you that made you hate Pikmin so much?

I'm sorry but the Darksouls, Bloodborne, and Cuphead fans need to leave the game alone and not demand that everything is made harder *when that isn't the point of the game at all.* There are other games that Nintendo has made that are meant to be difficult. When you think Pikmin, what comes to your mind? Grueling difficulty? Wanting to slam your fist through your console? NO. IT'S ABOUT CUTE LITTLE PLANT DUDES THAT YOU HAVE TO KEEP ALIVE AND EXPLORE WITH THEM. It's cute! It's not made with difficulty in mind, although let me say, as someone who 100%ed it. The night levels and The White Sage trials will absolutely leave your ass on the pavement. The second phase Dandori challenges are fairly difficult. And if the game is still too easy, then do what I did. Purposefully don't use items, ice pikmin in combat, or Oatchi. The game is not forcing you to play a certain way. You don't have to force the devs to bend to your whim and make the game harder. Stop complaining and enjoy the game however you can manage, but don't ruin it for other people.

Rdonell has the worst wifi ngl

They even had the a hole who complains it's not 60fps and the a hole who complains it isn't photorealistic "TRIPPUL AYYYY" Coming from being a fan of a game where people constantly whine and cry because "too hard waaaahhhh" seeing people legitimately infuriated that pikmin 4 is too easy is surreal. Entitled customers are just entitled I suppose.

Pikmin is a 10\10

"Pikmin 4 is easy" Yeah, did you try to get Platinum on all Dandori Challenges? It's insanity, every one took me at minimum ~1hr. Don't even get me started on the later night expeditions and the Trial of the Sage Leaf... Pikmin 4 isn't afraid to raise its difficulty if you know where to look.

These oeople didin't play the nigth expeditions

Clearly that first review was actually for animal crossing XD

All of these people just have Dandori Issues

I BET they only found olimar and not the actual ending

A lot of these are actually fair criticism.

Really my only genuine problem with the game is the dandori battles, because they're slightly harder than the rest of the game, but thats just because I suck at those kinds of challenges in games. The game is still amazing, and the people writing those bad reviews are probably from people who either don't have a good taste in games, only play games like Call Of Duty and Doom, or barely got into the game and didn't realize that games early on won't be that hard

'babymode' and i was like BABY BABY BABY-ODE it's BABY BABY BABYMN-NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO[DE]

Very easy? Get all platinum on all dandori challenges within 1 minute. See how you hold up.

1:32 ahem…i feel like you forgot a certain water like being which has given people PTSD

3:39 what does he expect plus the 30 fps isnt even noticeable in pikmin unlike some other games also publicly saying you use yuzu aint a smart move

“Zeldafanboy”

I can't tell the difference between 30fps and 60fps and i don't know why people complain about fps

I swear these sorts of reviews have got to be people who either only play the game for a few minutes or trolls, especially with the one by "Onlyonehere" How do you look at this game and say the graphics are terrible? There are games out there that are literal dumpster fires that are making needless amounts of money yet you gripe about a quality game that has been given extra care because it is even a passion of Miyamoto, meaning even more care poured into the creation than it would have gotten. The only decent point he had was about the coop gameplay, which quite frankly doesn't even deserve to be a point because Pikmin is mainly designed to be a single player, not to mention that it actually has the 2nd player do something in story mode rather than only in challenges and battles

Please feature only one here. He’s my goat.

I played the demo and I have to say I completely agree with the baby mode review. I mean Pikmin 3 wasn't much of a challenge but this is ridiculous

2:08 This guy makes a lot of good points, actually. 2:58 You didn't really address the meat of the review - features that you _can't disable,_ like auto-lock on and near-inability to assign extra pikmin to carrying.

My mom keeps running around in circles she can't even make her character she is stuck at the olimar part

I mean I liked 4 a lot, but yeah it is pretty easy and that's fine because it's a game for EVERYONE, plus we already have hard pikmin games that do put people off so like go play those if you want to really strech your brain... that or hunt every platinum medal cuz that IS a challenge in 4

People complaining saying it’s too easy, me have you played pikmin 3?

Ironic the person called zeldafanboy thinks pikman is overrated cosidering in my opinion botw is probably the most overrated game of all time (not saying its bad). But I do agree with people that pikman 4 is way to easy atleast for me who loves rts. I think a hard/expert mode aswell as a newgame± is really all the game is missing apart from some small quality of life features like disabling autolock which sure was annoying sometimes but still playable.

The comments all boil down to, the game is way too easy, which is true. Every enemy dies in less than a second, and the bosses are hardly a threat.

I'd have to agree with some of these reviews. I wasn't really fond of the boss fights, and the CO-OP system is very bad. This was the first Pikmin game I've ever played, and I was still able to beat it pretty quickly. Though, this game also had its ups. It was fun to use the new Pikmin types, and the night expeditions were great! Oatchi felt a little overpowered, but it was still fun to ride him around. Overall, I'd say the game isn't a perfect 10/10 or a 9/10, but it's not less than a 6/10.

ngl the auto lock, auto count and freeze time when calling the pikmen spoil the whole experience for me and I have 20 something nitpicks for this game but even the most flawed pikmin game is like a 7

Who dosent like pikmin Oh and It hurts to watch my brain literally hurts

please rank all 999 moons in mario odyssey 🙏

1:30 - please do not peg your pikmin Wow that last one is one hell of a tangent. (It's always funny when these mix legitimate criticisms with absolute nonsense weakening the legitimate criticisms in the process) And the tangent at the end of that penultimate one is... Wowzers. Like, there's a discussion to be had around collector's edition tat, and the increase to $70, but regardless of the quality of the arguments in the tangent, a Pikmin 4 review is not the time or the place to discuss the quality of the collector's edition extra tat for games that aren't Pikmin 4, nor Sony raising the cost of their games to $70.

I disagree with ZeldaFanboy. I think the pikmin look pretty peggable

Yo it’s OnlyOneHere! I’ve seen that guy before several times, Coney made a video about him once.

3:52 did me and this reviewer play the same game??

One question for them they say the games the is to easy but have they heard of pikmin 3

Istg these guy's won't bump up their rating until it's real life istg. My only quarrel with the game is it's difficulty, everything else exceeded my expectations At least 1 review came from either a boomer with anger issues or some fat kid who raged after dying

Honestly bro kinda had a point at 2:30

I like this game :)

Bet they don't know adout ultra spicy difficulty in pikmin 3.

10/10 game to me!

The people who made these reviews should really go and play trial of the sage leaf and even if they already have did they platinum every story? I don't think so

some are 100% right, the game is way too easy

this is my "bad review" im a huge pikmin fan but i must say that pikmin 4 was not that great. i love playing it but its literaly just pikmin with a skin i know the dandory thing and all but its just a old mini game from pikmin 3 a little bit change and with a different name I mean pikmin 2 have unlimited days, you must colect gold with big item underground FOR saving your planet and complete the lore BUT IN THIS GAME ITS JUST THE SAME GAMEPLAY THE SAME POINT BUT 0 LORE nice the only "lore" is olimar is on the planet and a group a rescuer must save him, the reason why we need to recup big item is the same that in pikmin 2 so no change like in pikmin 3 with food, and that all. and the big problem of this game you said it ITS THE FINAL BOSS WTF IS THIS (dont do like me and took only green pikmin forget their english name sry, spray them and then do the final boss you literaly just one shot each of hes phase and have pikmin that cant take elemental dmg so are just unkillable by the boss) pikmin 2 final boss was amazing and original look: they add like 5 new spider in pikmin 2 so the boss would be a spider / the Big thing in pikmin 2 is the big item we recup so the boss have big item to recup / NEW THING the boss have all elemantal power amazing boss pikmin 4 final boss: they add dogs so the boss is a dos/ The ONLY new mechanics add in bosses is put on 2 of the 3 new boss (scorpion and the weird blob) that is grabbing hes tail so you can attack it GUESS WHAT its EXACTLY the same mechanic with the final boss EVEN THE SAME AMOUNT OF PIKMIN NEED this final boss is just a recycle and pikmin 4 is just a big fusion of pikmin 2 and pikmin 1 you have the same thing to do the same gameplay and you must in the start rebuild your spaceship before going after olimar then louie 0 Big boss like pikmin 3 (that was my favorite part of pikmin 3) 0 new lore ( even less) and 0 real new thing: dandori? just a old mini game / underground? ALMOST THE SAME AS PIKMIN 2 WITH THE SAME BOSSES / pikmins?? well we have the ice pikmin but we dont need them i literaly never use ice pikmin execpt for the mud / oh yeah the night thing, well i know its a kid game but kid arent dum we literaly just have to upgrade the dog put him in the or one of the light thing we must protect and after we can just do our life by reproduct green pikmins. EVEN THE BIG BOSS OF NIGHT THING IS BAD AF literaly charge with green pikmin and hes dead wow I know i "loved" playing this game but its just because i love playing pikmin i didnt want a remaster of pikmin 2 and 1 but it say 4 I WANT A NEW GAME WITH REAL NEW MECHANICS AND COOL BOSSES LIKE PIKMIN 3 i know oatchi is a new mechanics i love oatchi but its literaly just a second player that had yes platformer i know but in pikmin 3 we had platformer bcs we have 3 different captain so ALOT of thing you can do at the same moment but oatchi is just you jump or you decide to one shit thing bcs he isnt balance xd so the REAL new good pikmin 4 mechanic is... jump... and riding a dog but it just make the game even easier i am realy sad that after all this years we had this its not a bad game its a realy good game but not a new one its just a big remastered...

I’m gonna be honest, I don’t like 4 that much but at least I gave it a 5/10 :/

Bro pikmin has never been hard 1 and 2 are easy

Sounds like a lot of HOOPLA, I agree with alot of what people dislike about the game but 0-3 NO, not even close if the game released like most AAA broken with day one DLC and micro transactions then 3 would be deserved, its a fun simple game that just brings a smile to your face, it might be simple and auto aim sucks lol but this game is wonderful.

Are they hippocrits because if they note pkmn scarlet and violet better than it congrats to them they are hippocrits

Bueno, la mayoría de las críticas tienen razón, sobre todo en que es muy fácil y que es inferior a muchos juegos de la actualidad. Pero si añadieran un DLC, un mejor modo cooperativo y un modo para aumentar la dificultad sería una verdadera experiencia pikmin

No part of pikmin 4 was challenging. Im sorry, but the guy who ripped this game to shreds because its too easy was totally right. We already had a great entry level pikmin game, it was called PIKMIN 3. They watered down pikmin so much that it doesnt even feel like pikmin anymore. I love pikmin, but i honestly hate this game because it feels like Pikmin 4 is embarrassed to be a pikmin game. Now im more worried about pikmin 5 being another brain dead baby easy game then actually ever existing.
