Pikmin 4 is HUGE, I didn't expect that. I played around 23h to beat the main game, and still I have a lot of things to do. I prefer more "linear gaming experiences", but I had fun chilling out with P4.
If Pikmin 3 is a improved version of Pikmin 1, this installment wants to be a improved version of Pikmin 2 (which is by far the worst pikmin game). The caves return, which im not a huge fan but in P4 they are better done than P2. The seven types of different pikmins makes the game more entertaining, and I can't even think to play another pikmin game without Ochin the dog. And if you're a fan of P1 like me you will find a great surprise...
In conclusion, if Pikmin 4 would be a Dark Souls game it would be Elden Ring
