doesn't even matter that there's no coop, just a lackluster game compared to the first three. dialogue is flat and hard to sit through considering it takes up most of the game. there's a ton of limits and everything's super handholdy rather than open and punishing the way the first three games were, so if you're looking for a way to get your children into pikmin this is the one i guess? not a terrible game by any means, just not a game for pikmin fans.
