Switch An unfortunately timed embargo would have put the kibosh on an early review even if we’d been able to squeeze in enough time between writing 100 previews to finish the game within a few days. For now, we can tell you thatin the way your diminutive hero explores an outsized domestic setting – is utterly charming, and that it appears to have a gentler difficulty curve than its predecessors. We’re still mildly perturbed by your pup ally Oatchi – not for his lack of nose this time, but because he seems perhaps a little helpful, while the tension of needing to head home before nightfall could be lost thanks to the new Glow Pikmin. The third game hit the Goldilocks zone for sequels; our fear is that this could be another Toy Story 4, where the fourth iteration is pleasant enough but largely extraneous. Conclusions will have to wait for review.
