Tinykin landed on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch earlier today. It draws inspiration from classics like Pikmin and Paper Mario. We try it out.
Like Pikmin, Tinykin follows an alien explorer who crash lands on Earth (or an Earth-like planet in Pikmin’s case) only to discover they are super small — said explorer then discovers the titular little guys who can be controlled to accomplish the game’s goals.
It's dumb to call Tinykin a Pikmin clone. It does share a few similarities, but it's a very different game. I personally like it more in some ways.
MonsterVine: "Bursting with wholesome charm, Tinykin is one of the most delightful games I’ve played in years."
Games big and small made the list for Best Adventure Game 2022 this year, and we are glad to see it!
