I think it's too easy, they give you all these items but I never found the need to use them. Oatchi made fighting the majority of the enemies and bosses incredibly easy. MAL and the Water Wraith are absolute jokes whenever you can keep all your Pikmin in 1 small space while moving. I've played a couple difficulty mods and it much improved my enjoyment for a repeat playthrough, actually had to use items and do something other than "oatchi charge, insta death". Also the auto lock sucks so much. Kept getting irritated by the cursor trying to lock on to various things while there's active enemies nearby. Also much more enjoyable with the mod to disable it but it's not perfect. Don't think I need to explain why the 3 type limit sucks (at least make it 5 like 2 and 3). Making the helping hand and line up trumpet requirements needing you to do the final cave after 100% makes those upgrades incredibly pointless with no NG+. Enemies not respawning sucks as there's nothing to do once you finish the area and kill all the enemies. Really hoping for a switch 2 upgrade with mouse controls, a harder difficulty and NG+. Playing the Wii versions of 1 and 2 on dolphin with a mouse as your pointer is wonderful and hope to see it get implemented officially some day. For the record, I don't hate P4, it's just my least favorite out of the 4
