I’m about 5 hours in. I’ve 100%’d the opening stage and I just completed my first night mission. I’m loving it so far but have forced myself to take a break. It’s been 10 years since Pikmin 3. I really need to savor this.
I’m enjoying it now, but the tutorial and day 1 were a struggle. The hand-holding was unbearable to me. You get dialogue and tutorial every 5 seconds of gameplay 😭 It was definitely not fun, and I kept wishing there was a “leave me alone” mode. I don’t remember if Pikmin 3 had this much hand-holding. But I pushed through it and now it’s fun. I haven’t played that many hours yet, but it seems quite fun so far. I’ll play more during the weekend and hopefully forget about how annoyed I felt during the first hour or so of playing it.
