Astro Bot is a game with obvious Pikmin influence. This charming 3D platformer by Sony Interactive, which won game of the year in 2024, features several mechanics that would fit in well in the Pikmin series. Today, we look into what lessons Pikmin could learn from Astro Bot in order to grow to greater heights. And, additionally, we take some time to talk about why Astro Bot won Game of the Year while Pikmin 4 was left behind, comparing the sales of the series as well as other factors.
