99% of this game is near perfection (by my personal opinion of course) and its hands down the best Pikmin game in the series!
…However there is only one thing that I found very problematic: it is the fact that enemies do not, at any point, respawn anywhere above ground. I feel like this adds an extremely unnecessary “Quality of life improvement” to the game; and it’s the only one that I find to bad. This takes away a sense of challenge that has always been prevalent throughout series. Not only that but it makes the beautiful and amazing scenery feel absolutely lifeless. I’m no programmer by any means imaginable, but I can’t imagine it to be too difficult to code in respawn capabilities, so hopefully that will be updated in the near future.
Having said all that, I just want to reiterate how much I love this game despite my one major problem. In fact it should speak volumes that despite that, I still feel no hesitation to give it a ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rating. The game is seriously that amazing,The story, graphics, mechanics, quality of life improvements (most of them), and of course the Pikmin! I honestly think that my one Gripe is not worth for anyone to miss out on this game; and if you’re still not sure, please go play the Demo and see for yourself!
