Pikmin 4 has received stellar reviews and is now one of this year's top-rated new video game releases. Nintendo's Pikmin franchise has consistently earned critical acclaim since its inception.

Given Pikmin's impressive track record, expectations for Pikmin 4 have been high. While there were concerns about the absence of the co-op mode from Pikmin 3 Deluxe, the reviews suggest that this does not significantly hinder the enjoyment of the game, contrary to initial beliefs.

The reviews are in for Pikmin 4, and critics are overwhelmingly positive. Currently, the game holds an 88 overall rating on review aggregate site Metacritic. While there may be slight fluctuations in the review score, it is highly likely that it will maintain its position around 88. This impressive rating places Pikmin 4 among the top-rated new video game releases of the year, alongside notable titles like Diablo 4 and Final Fantasy 16. Moreover, this success adds to the growing list of triumphs for the Nintendo Switch, which continues to prove itself as a remarkable home console/handheld hybrid in a spectacular year for Nintendo.

Pikmin 4 Reviews

Despite popular belief that the Nintendo Switch is declining in popularity, the console continues to release top-notch games that are highly praised by critics. Currently, the game with the highest rating of the year is The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, which holds a remarkable overall rating of 96. The second and third spots are also occupied by exclusive Switch titles, with Metroid Prime Remastered securing the second-highest rating of the year and the visual novel/rhythm game Jack Jeanne claiming the third spot, both with impressive overall ratings of 94. While it is true that the Switch may lack some prominent third-party releases, the console still manages to uphold its reputation.

2023 is poised to go down in history as one of the Switch's most remarkable years. Notably, Pikmin 4 is receiving glowing reviews and Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has earned the title of the highest-rated game of the year thus far. But that's not all, as fans can anticipate an exciting lineup of exclusive releases in the coming months. These include Disney Illusion Island, Detective Pikachu Returns, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, WarioWare: Move It, Super Mario RPG, and more. With rumors circulating about the possibility of a Switch 2 console, it appears that Nintendo is bidding farewell to the Nintendo Switch on a high note, leaving behind a legacy as one of the greatest Nintendo consoles of all time.
