A decade ago, I wrote a story for the USgamer calling Pikmin 3 "the greatest war game I've ever played."
While USgamer is sadly no longer with us, that particular piece was moved over to VG247, if you feel like reading the case for that.
If you'd prefer the short summary, I loved Pikmin 3 because it illustrated the morally untenable nature of military command. The game puts you in charge of hundreds of almost unfailingly obedient Pikmin that you will be responsible for, that you will order to attack and kill enemies, that you will from time-to-time unintentionally throw into instantly fatal situations, sometimes by the dozens.
