Quietly sitting at an 83 average. The algorithm never did this one any favors. Adventure in the classic sense, from Nintendo: science fiction, forward momentum, and places worth seeing. A full single-player game with a multiplayer side that refuses to die.

About this game

Explore an alien world like no other in the third edition of Nintendo's strategic adventure series. In Pikmin 3, players take command of three explorers and a legion of adorable Pikmin in a fight for survival. By employing the unique abilities of these tiny Pikmin creatures, players will solve puzzles, battle dangerous predators, and recover food needed to save the explorers’ depleted home planet.

The inhabitants of the planet Koppai are facing a devastating famine, their world stripped bare by a booming population and dwindling resources. Desperate for a solution, they send survey ships across the galaxy in search of new sources of food, and one returns with promising news of a distant, fertile world teeming with cultivable life. Three Koppaite explorers, the engineer Alph, the botanist Brittany, and the captain Charlie, are dispatched to this planet to gather the food that could save their people. But when their ship malfunctions and crash-lands, the trio are scattered across an unfamiliar wilderness. Stranded and separated, each must rely on the strange plant-like creatures known as Pikmin to survive, reunite with their crewmates, and recover the means to complete their vital mission.
