I’m about 5 hours in. I’ve 100%’d the opening stage and I just completed my first night mission. I’m loving it so far but have forced myself to take a break. It’s been 10 years since Pikmin 3. I really need to savor this.
It's my first Pikmin that I really gave a proper go.
So far I don't understand how you can be a diehard Pikmin fan.
To me, all it has got is great animations and graphics, but the gameplay is mind numbingly easy and lacks variety, even after 2 hours.
I believe it is a great kids game with it's style and easy to pick up gameplay, but it doesn't hold my attention for long.
Definitely will be going back to Zelda or Persona 5 where it felt effortless to put 150 hours into between the both of them so far.
Yeah, this one has definitely been made easier for casual audiences. The previous games have a higher difficulty and if you enjoy the general gameplay loop I highly recommend checking them out. (2 especially)
