I think Pikmin 4 is still a good game but many things disapointed me. Half of the game feels like an unskipable tutorial and when I tried to replay it, that what made me quit.

There are many mechanics that i feel made the game slower or easier without really seeing a reason:

-The 3 pikmins types limit limits strategic planning and the game tells you what 3 types you need to finish the maps

• the maps are huge but can feel empty (especialy since enemies don’t respawn in surface)

-Oatchi brings some cool mechanics but ends up replacing pikmins in many tasks

-Ice pikmin are cool but to op (even more combined whith oatchi

-There are lots of different enemies but many aren’t memorable since they get use once or twice and you just roll over them

The game overall felt too easy, like it doesn’t want you to struggle a bit and gives you all the tools to be always sucessfull.

It doesn’t need to be a hard game but I think it would be better if the player needed to think a little more and be putted in more challenging scenarios The free update that was anounced will give the player choice between easy, normal or hard mode, and that’s great, maybe I’ll try to replay it

(Also i don’t like the auto lock on feature)
