    It's cute! It's not nearly as stressful nor content packed as Pokemon Go or Wizards Unite, but if you're an active person and seek out parks and recreations, it can be quite a blast and a satisfying experience.

    It may be more of a niche experience than Niantics two other big games, but for those of us that get it, it's quite cute and fun. Always challenges me to get more steps in as well. I'm an active and athletic person so I tend to get a lot of steps in a day (usually hatch a huge seedling before a day is up), and I'm challenged each day to raise the bar even higher for this game.

    It's also nice, too, that I feel I don't even have to spend a penny on here for any better experience, though, with it being new and I'm sure others feel the same way, they will probably add content that will cause someone to feel like spending money on the game. I'm wondering how that will change my experience in the long term, but for now, I'm enjoying my time with this. You can also log pictures and journal entries for each day. So it's nice to look back on the days/week you've had.    … Expand

    Pikmin Bloom accomplished one of the features that Pokemon GO! wanted to, which was getting people active. Where as Pokemon GO! has the main feature of distance events, Pikmin Bloom uses the mobile pedometer to count your steps. I've even found myself taking laps around work in my free time to help sprout a new Pikmin.

I've even found myself taking laps around work in my free time to help sprout a new Pikmin. Some features from Pokemon GO! are obviously not seen here, like PVP battling and shiny hunting. There are a few original ideas though that are very interesting. Firstly, Pikmin can be sent on "expeditions" where over a period of time they will go to a place you've discovered and then bring you back an item. Another feature is the flower pedals. Upon feeding your Pikmin nectar you get flower pedals that can be spread around the map for every player in the world to see. These pedals can also be used to sprout larger flowers on the map that may have their own events. It's an exercise app and a video game wrapped into one convenient app.… Expand

    So, I started playing Pokémon go to get out walking more; and I did for a while, and my dog loved it, because I took him too, and we pit patted around the block. But, it eventually devolved into this addicting game where I was driving around to wait around and battle giant Pokémon in raids with a group of people. And I was sitting on the coach trading Pokemon with my brother and nephewSo, I started playing Pokémon go to get out walking more; and I did for a while, and my dog loved it, because I took him too, and we pit patted around the block. But, it eventually devolved into this addicting game where I was driving around to wait around and battle giant Pokémon in raids with a group of people. And I was sitting on the coach trading Pokemon with my brother and nephew for ‘lucky’ ones an hour at a time. So, I decided to try Pikmin Bloom! Now I am getting up early to walk long, and fast, spreading flowers across the world. Sure, Pikmin might not be as cool as Pokemon, and the gameplay pretty basic, but I’m getting out and getting exercise! And I don’t have to stare at my phone as much! It’s motivating me to be healthier. I used to be a runner and suffered a bad back injury, and can only walk now, and Pikmin was just the thing I needed. :) it will be interesting to see how the game evolves moving forward and if the game will be able to hold my attention, in a healthy way, and keep these positive changes flowing.… Expand

    Very nice, simple game that encourages you to go outside more. There's very little content, but I think that makes it better. It's something you can just check up on once or twice a day, and the microtransactions aren't necessary to make the game better like many other games like this. Highly recommended.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great walking game, adventures finding pikmins on the street or on the corner, a geolocation game especially to exercise your legs and visit small buds that grow and bloom after using flowers around the bud, giving fruits and nectar the color of the fruit .… Expand

    Almost perfect mobile game, it's fun, it's engaging and it's really a relaxing game, you chill out planting flowers with friends and growing up some Pikmins, one of the best things is the fact that microtransition are basically useless, do not spend money on this becuase you can enjoy this fantastic game with out these dumb microtransition

    Honestly this game is effectively Pokémon go with Pikmin and destroying mushrooms.

    Pikmin Bloom is a burst of fun that quickly gets marred by paywall greed. [Issue #59 – May/June 2022, p. 26]

    Overall, I am very pleased to see the Pikmin series getting more attention and finding a larger audience. The slow and steady, steps-focused progression makes the game the app a great motivator for easy exercise. But Pikmin Bloom is best described as an app that gets you walking more, rather than a hit new game. It has plenty of thoughtful features that will likely have you checking in on it daily, but its various minor flaws leave me a little disappointed that the precious little Pikmin didn’t quite get the app that I think they deserve.

    Pikmin Bloom is a fine AR experience, but sadly it’s just not a good game. With the volume (and intensity) of bugs, the lack of things to actually do and a poor economy, Bloom's player base feels likely to wither without significant change. However, the game does already have a core group of players who absolutely love it, so watch this space. With enough bug fixes and quality of life improvement, Pikmin Bloom may well blossom into something worth playing.
