Black Friday This story is part of the Digital Trends Black Friday coverage 2024 Updated less than 1 minute ago If there’s one Switch game I can’t recommend enough, it’s Pikmin 4.
The series expertly walks the tightrope between being a cute, whimsical adventure and a strategy game that needs serious planning to complete, exciting casual Switch players looking to hang out with some oddball little plant friends while keeping the attention of serious speedrunners and strategists.
Whether you’re seriously invested in saving the lives of the crashed spacecraft crew (more on that later) or you want to see how many little colorful buddies you can pluck out of the ground, Pikmin 4 is quite an adventure and one of the best games on Switch.
If you’re new to the Pikmin series, Pikmin 4 is an excellent place to start. It preserves the charm of its predecessors while refining the occasionally tricky control scheme and adjusting the story to be more accessible for newcomers.
First-party title sales in the Nintendo Switch ecosystem are fairly rare — it’s not uncommon for them to remain at launch-day prices for years — so the Black Friday discount for this title is a blessing.
