Richard writes: "Tinykin is already shaping up to be one of the most interesting games of 2022, and there has just been a new developer diary released. This time around they are showing off a bit more of the world, and some of the characters we will be meeting."
“After digging through the PlayStation Plus library, I discovered a genuine treat with the adorable and super-fun Tinykin so let's get small.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
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."
