improves upon the first game but also completely changes what made it so special. I get the time limit is intimidating and all but it’s Pikmin 1’s driving force and 2 feels a bit aimless without it imo. Caves are alright but I wish they weren’t the bulk of the game. The improved ai and QoL improvements do make a big difference though and, at the end of the day, it’s still Pikmin, so for me this game is only SLIGHTLY worse than its predecessor. Fuck Hocotate Freight and its bitch ass president too Olimar just wanted to see his family :(
