Pikmin: The most brutal game experience you can have.
Oh 95 pikmin just died because you dumb ass let them attack the worm from the side? YOU MF ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT. Good damn I just wanted a relaxing time after Dark Souls II.
Pikmin "tries" to make things right. They took a great concept and made a sequel. The main idea is copy paste. But: there are two new species that work great. There is a new level system "The Caves", and at least for me, this really dosn't work.
And we get a lot more playtime that I didn't find necessary.
Oh yeah and there is Louie which would be probably great for a second player but I really did not care about him, sorry Louie.
The main problem I have with this game and the reason why I think the original was better, is the new level system. We have the caves where we can go to with limited pikmin. When they die, you loose all the progress. The system reminded me of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. 1st problem: More pikmin joining a fight means, more pikmin dying in a fight. So I had to often leave them behind while going on a mission with the alpha troup - Purple pikmin. The rest was just fodder for flowers, roadies or waiting for an elementary danger.
2nd Problem. The caves are too long.
3rd problem. After playthrough you unlock another region with huge caves that might double the playtime. Well after story should never be bad but after credit roll around 15 hours i felt like I've had enough and really didn't want to explore those huge caves and it makes me feel bad for not having experienced the whole game.
