After playing Pikmin 3 Deluxe I revisited the first game, completed it and I must say it has all the essence I liked so much playing it nearly 20 years ago. But there are features it lacks, like locking on enemies and choosing which pikmin to throw, to feel outdated. The bomb feature is also annoying, so often I accidently triggered the bombs by just whistling the yellow pikmin.
Nevertheless, for all it's quirkiness I love this game's idea.

It's quirky, I love it.
I skipped second part and thought Olimar's the best character, but the addition of the other characters is well made and everyone has their fun moments.
Only thing I miss from Pikmin 1 and 2 is the ability to move the pikmin by joystick. It was so fun to move them around like that.
Story could be a bit longer, but the challenging modes are there and I want to play hardest difficulty again.

Season 1 was funny and chaotic, it was good to get it when the hype was real. Cheaters broke it completely for me, but they got sorted it out. Unfortunately, I am not really playing it anymore. So from Season 2 on I only play a few games per season.

YES. It has most of the stuff I was expecting after DS1. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I DID like the campaign, but it's not like "wow omg I am so overwhelmed by this everyone needs to play it" like people say on the internet. I haven't played CoD or else in a long time except Doom 2016 so I don't know how low the expectations of shooter campaigns are these days. But I come from early 2000 Medal of Honor and CoD campaigns and they were awesome.

Multiplayer? I am a bit overwhelmed by all the stuff but I don't like when bots are playing to get points, I don't know.

best looking batman game I played, but only if this game could not have the batmobile, that would've been great. I did 120% and all DLC, but the riddler challenges overdid it. I have enough now.

the focus on the middle get a bit tiresome

I haven't played the original, but this was scary, entertaining, challenging and fun!

2016

I kinda liked it, it's a bit dark and I got into the story, but the voice of Anna is a bit annoying and overall it lacks in depth/humour/music/character. Nevertheless, I like Daedelic games so I had to play this and it was good.

just checked F2P Version but they removed much content and you hit paywalls everywhere, so there was no core until having bought it.

Multiplayer feels too random. Too much chaos.

The spirit of the grimy city, the fluent and enjoyable fighting mechanic, the flying, the getting into a situation and solving it heroicly, the charactes loved and hated, everything is there. Playing it 10 years after it's initial release I can recommend it to everyone who wants fluent action game with LOADS of collectibles. It was engaging enough to get 100% of the riddler puzzles in the main game.

It's desperate that they struggled to put in the open world aspect of the original game. The open world was clunky with many limitations, but it created this world of Destroy City this second installment never acchieved. It rather felt like completing level after level until you're finished, nothing more. That was a huge drawback for me.
The retro style games were fun for a while, but I consider this to be a small extra.
The fighting is hilariously fun, although it repeats and is always the same towards the end.
Sure, there is obvious sexism in this game, keep that in mind considering it.

I'm looking forward to playing No More Heroes 3, nonetheless!

The sweet Yooka and Laylee lead us through a solid platformer with good music, delivering Banjo-Kazooie vibes in a Donkey Kong gameplay environment. I enjoyed it thoroughly.
