First impressions of Pikmin Bloom: We tried the beta and we tell you our feelings

Pikmin is a real-time method and puzzle video clip game collection created by Shigeru Miyamoto and also published by Nintendo. The games concentrate on directing a horde of plant-like creatures called Pikmin in order to collect things by damaging barriers, avoiding risks and battling fauna that are harmful to both the player personality and also the Pikmin.The Pikmin collection includes 5 entrances. The very first two, Pikmin (2001) and also Pikmin 2 (2004 ), were released for the GameCube as well as later on ported to the Wii as New Play Control! titles in 2008 as well as 2009. Pikmin 2 was re-released in the Nintendo Picks collection in 2012. A third installation, Pikmin 3, was launched for the Wii U in 2013. The series initial handheld video game, Hey! Pikmin, was launched for the Nintendo 3DS in 2017. Pikmin 3 was re-released for the Nintendo Switch as Pikmin 3 Deluxe on October 30, 2020. Pikmin 4 was confirmed to be in advancement and also very near to completion in 2015. On March 22, 2021, Niantic as well as Nintendo revealed Pikmin Bloom, which released on October 26-Current, 2021.

After enrollment, Pokémon Go and Harry Potter Wizards Unite, Niantic, the specialist in Augmented Reality Games, returns to the load. In close collaboration with Shigeru Miyamoto, the father of Nintendo, John Hanke, the CEO of Niantic, has created a new experience based on the world of Pikmin.

What to do in Pikmin Bloom?

Pikmin have reduced to its primary forms: seeds. By getting ground pots, you can plant them to grow them. Then, it is necessary to place the pots in a special backpack. Once inside, you have to walk to make hatch like eggs in the Pokémon GO incubators.

Fortunately, it is not about kilometers to go but of steps to follow. Unlike Pokémon Go, based on geolocation, the steps system (pedometer) allows you to make a bit of trap waving the phone. However, be careful, this little trick only serves to grow the Pikmin: If you want to find new seeds, you will have to travel around the world. And get up from the sofa!

The Pikmin come in all shapes and colors and obviously your goal will be to collect them all. It is possible to change the name and each one has its own characteristics: red is, for example, immune to fire. While you walk with your Pikmin, you will bring you Nectar that you can feed them. It will make the flower grow over your head. Then, touch them to collect petals.

The goal is to walk so that the Pikmin bring you several elements, including new pots to grow new Pikmin. It is possible to synchronize the application with your usual step-meter, if you have. So, even when you are not playing, the steps will be counted.

When collecting the flowers in the pikmin heads, you can have petals that, when they are activated, spread by us while they walk. This allows you to see where you have already walked and where you have left to go. It is also possible to see the flowers planted by other players in the application! Thus, we can cover the whole world with flowers.

It is a collection game but, above all, encourages people to go for a walk. Connected to Google Fit, tell your objectives of daily steps. The more you walk, the more you can progress and unlock new things. Level missions must also be completed, such as growing pikmins or walking a certain steps.

There is a store within the game obviously allows you to buy some objects with parts such as nectar, pots (incubators) or petals of different colors. With real money, you can buy an extension of the storage of the bag and the pikmins. But you can enjoy the experience, in general, without having to go through a box.

Our opinion

It is a proposal that is full of good will, Pikmin Bloom is far from equaling Pokémon Go, A Harry Potter Wizards Unite and even enters. Of course, the gameplay present in the 4 games is very different if it is not your common point to have to walk and leave home to advance your adventure.

Let s say that the game seems extremely empty compared to the other works of Niantic. On the other hand, the concept is original: having to walk to cover flowers around the world (and be able to see the flowers deposited by the other players).

Actually, it must be said that Pikmin Bloom is an application more than a complete game like Pokémon or Harry Potter. Works with the smartphone pedometer, you can leave it in your pocket or in your bag and then take it in your hand for a few seconds to observe the flowers that remain on your way and the Pikmin pots with which you have crossed.

The rest can be done from home: Have fun with the creatures in augmented, downtown, and make them grow. Fortunately, a good progression system is also present in the proposal, which allows you to complete different missions and collect bonuses and other achievements.

Pikmin Bloom also provides a plus compared to other Niantic applications: it is an authentic memories mine. Thus, we know very well how many steps we gave up a day (with a notion of goal too) but also where we went and what photos we take.

The application is now available in Australia and Singapore, and will be launched for free in other countries around the world in the coming days.
