Pikmin 4 is a great game for what it shows. But it's quite mind numbingly easy with the auto lock in and more. Which can cause some to feel that it isn't fun to play.

Is see the world less “dying” and more “a new beginning”. Life like death, ancients to ruins, the world revolves around the cycle and from this death comes a new world like we see in what was once drainage. The environment will thaw and heal and perhaps another species will rise and rule like the ancients or they’ll learn from them and enjoy the world like a lot of the scugs do. We know there were people before the ancients as we see their last structures in the depths before the void sea.

Its kind of weird that pikmin 2 was the only game in the series to include plants (excluding Onion, Flarlic, Spiderwort, and Candypop bud) in the piklopedia. It was also a shame that the piklopedia map couldent be changed like it could in Pikmun 2.

Pikmin 4 should have had co-op and difficulty modes like 3 deluxe did. Overworld enemies not respawning is another major step back from the previous entries and while dandori was fun the mission modes from pikmin 3 where much better and more numerous. While I loved Pikmin 4 and have already replayed it multiple times it hurts knowing that some intentional decisions held the game back from toping 2 or 3 in my opinion.

Removing difficulty from Pikmin just removes the point of playing Pikmin for me. They dropped the ball twice, but I'll at least give 3 some points for at least still having fun and engaging level design, better presentation, and insanely hard challenge stages.

Months late but here we are. I love this video! It perfectly explains one of the (many) things I absolutely adore about this game, especially regarding the world itself. Personally, though, I don't really see Rain World as a dying world more than it is the death of an era; the era of the Ancients. The Ancients left the world behind, and left behind their creations and their infrastructure. But as with anything, you cannot go against the relentless march of time, not indefinitely. Everything returns to dust eventually, and we are simply seeing the Ancients' era being reduced to rubble bit by bit through the campaigns, most prominently through Pebbles and Moon. Saint's ending punctuates this with the view above the clouds of the countless iterator cans crumbling or gone. And yet, same as the fact that time will move forward no matter what, so too does life find a way. Saint's campaign is in a snowy and desolate wasteland, sure, and it might be more of a struggle to survive than the torrential rains, but life stubbornly clings on. Some species die out, but others adapt, and new species appear to fill new niches. In summary: I love this game so much. EDIT: also wanted to reiterate a point another commenter made about downpour adding to the content and even contrasting its themes to find ways to love the life they have. Maybe its not ideal, but if you can make the most of it and be content with it, then is thst really such a bad thing even in a world that is so harsh?

I love pikmin 4 and it was my introduction to the series. I went back and played all the other games after beating it, and then I played through Pikmin 4 again. The time it took me to beat it got cut in HALF and also I got platinum on the dandori battles/challenges and sage trials. If only for some more replayability and people who are seasoned pikmin veterans, I hope that in the future we can get selectable difficulties added as a free update. Mods I'm sure will do alot of legwork, things like oatchi not being rideable and removing auto lock-on; but most people won't go out of their way to mod their game.

I play a lot of challenging games. Not directly because they are hard but i often find hard games do a better job of getting you to really engage with the games systems and mechanics. I have never played any pikmin game before 4 so i have no past experiences with the series. Pikmin 4 is really easy but as someone who loves hard games i still could not put this game down it was an incredibly fun experience for me start to finish (im still finishing up sage leaf trials cause ive done everything else). My favorites parts were still defenititly thr dandori challenges but even with the game being so easy it was such a blast. I see why some vets wouldnt like the difficulty but this game is designed to get new people into the franchise and i could definitely see why some vets wouldnt like that but in my eyes its better for the franchise because the past games are really old.

I think that, while the game is an absolute snooze if you use every tool the game throws at you, you often aren't forced to use them except for Oatchi. Oatchi is absolutely an issue and I feel that you should be limited in how much you can do with his rush, but other than that, you can safely ignore a lot of the easy mode stuff. I didn't touch the shop except for one ice bomb I used in Engulfed Castle because I didn't know you could lure the Slooch into the water like you could the Bulblax and I didn't touch Glow Pikmin at all outside of night missions. Sprays are way too easy to get, but again, I can at least ignore them. To me, they're carry assists, not enemy assists. This is still a large contrast to, say, modern Pokemon games, which force you to use their baby mechanics (friendship) to where people actively feed their pokemon bitter things just to prevent themselves from getting the unfair buffs. The exception to Oatchi being too strong is the dandori missions, as he is completely balanced around those, to where I'm struggling to beat the Purple Jewel with a severely underpowered dog (I got all platinums before). There are plenty of tweaks I would make to the game, but at least if you go for speed the game is completely enjoyable all the same.

Why are people complaining about difficulty modes when the game made it easier than ever to impose challenges on yourself. You can literally choose your max Pikmin count by only getting a certain number of flarlic, you can choose what onions to grab and what to leave. You can choose how powerful Oatchi is and you can choose to get items and power ups or not. This gives the game a lot of replayability, as well as something more difficult for veterans

I think since Pikmin 3 they shifted the difficulty to be more "self imposed" and make the player challenge itself to collect as much fruit/treasure as possible in a single day Now I do wish that there were more enemies and they respawned, because the areas get kinda empty when they're gone, but I much prefer the multitasking satisfaction than anything Pikmin 2 had to offer

I like your view point on the difficulty, but I also feel you missed some big points for why the game is not challenging; I find pikmin deaths largely don't matter in the game most of the time since you can go back to caves at anytime to any floor and just farm the wild pikmin which respawn, making the need to grow more to replace the ones you lost not a factor. Knockouts to your captains don't matter because you can just walk over and revive them with no cost as many times as you want. The biggest thing is the rewind feature and how if you make even the smallest mistake it will put it in your face to use, all these choices makes almost nothing really matter and I personally found half way into the 3rd area that I slowly stopped caring and found myself unengaged and just going through the motions. The last thing is how the pikmin have been made much smarter overall leading to you not needing to pay attention to them nearly as much from the improved path finding and how rarely they will get stuck on things which in turn makes it another thing to not care about. All this just left me with feelings of the game just wanting to get itself over with as quickly as possible and asking myself why should I care about any of it, I don't think the game is bad but it did sour my experience and makes this personally my least favorite, that's just my opinion though.

I’m with you, but I would like to argue a couple of things still at the expense of Pikmin 4. First off, the rewind feature. In Pikmin 3, that feature is consistent: you can go back to whatever amount of days you have done prior like a computer System Restore. I do not know what triggers the checkpoint system in Pikmin 4! Sometimes, you can go 10 minutes back, 5 minutes, 2, even 1, but it’s all based whatever the game feels like setting a checkpoint. The checkpoint system is “easier” but once you begin to rely on it, especially for no death runs, you realize how mechanically broken the feature really is. Secondly, the Pikmin intelligence. I wouldn’t say they’re “smarter”, just more streamlined. I would argue they’re still complete !d!ots except this time, the environmental mechanics are more against them than ever before. In 2, if an object is in the way of the Pikmin’s carrying path, regardless of the object’s weight it will ALWAYS be pushed aside. Buggy at times, yes, but it’s a guarantee that Pikmin will bring the object to the base unless attacked. As for 4, forget about it! The Pikmin will indefinitely try to either keep carrying the item or try to first carry the unwanted obstacle, thus wasting even more time. If only you can throw in extra Pikmin in case that ever happens, but NOPE! Apparently, overthrowing is something Nintendo does not want you to do! Pikmin carrying in 4 is also bugged as h3ck! Sometimes, even after throwing the exact number of necessary Pikmin, some just refuse to carry and remain idle. Yeah, they’re TOUCHING the necessary object but refuse to do everything else. Rather ironic because most of the time, Pikmin are way too eager to do absolutely anything no matter how far away they are from the target! I have a whistle, ALLOW ME TO CALL THEM WHEN I WANT THEM!! A finally, the fetching. When Pikmin finds an item meant for the captain, they’ll do everything in their power to find the captain no matter the distance and no matter the hazards between them. The final challenge was HORRIBLE strictly because of the auto-targeting and necessary bomb rocks which turns Pikmin into walking kamikaze once they find one buried in a hole. But that’s only a fraction of problems I have with the game. It gives me an itching feeling the reason why they made the game so artificially easy is to hide how busted their engine became. It was not even like this in 3 Deluxe!

My problem with the games difficulty isn't the difficulty itself, but WHY it's easy, I have no problem with Pikmin 3 being easy, and it has the highest skill cap (maybe aside from 2's bosses), but Pikmin 4 introduces a lot of power creep which I fear will (and already has) negatively impacted the series, while Pikmin 4s focus on Dandori is nice, it sacrifices the other elements of the game for it (and even then 3 did it better in most aspects). Comparing it to 3 further, it's high skill cap is the icing on the cake, it has a good combat system not riddled with powercreep and decently challenging enemies along with huge areas to explore (keep in mind they are NOT really open), 5 different types each with their own entirely unique and distinct qualities (Aside from Blues), which were all nice fillings, Pikmin 4 feels like a cake made of nothing but icing, with open maps that can be crossed in under 5 minutes and bad combat, enemies with rushed designs (Gameplay wise) ,and a lot more missing, with nothing but more icing (Dandori challenges) to compensate, Ost further shows these problems by having a significantly shorter timer, which has no purpose other than to hurry the player along, which seems redundant especially for "postgame" content. And night expeditions felt like they needed a LOT more fleshing out, especially how most of them just spam 2 or 3 enemy types, and when I finally got to the final boss, I didn't feel accomplished, I just felt as if the game had wasted my time, and with how many hard caps (and even more soft caps) the thing has, it only strengthened my thoughts on the game.

I love playing Pikmin 4. Playing the game through again for the third time right now! I'm... not great at the Dandori challenges, but I get golds on most of them (I barely get past the first couple of the hidden levels though). I do wish enemies respawned in the overworld. Unless I missed something, I don't remember seeing anything outside a cleared dungeon respawn, and that makes me sad. I enjoy having stuff to fight, even at a basic level monster on the overworld and having to recheck areas after I've left the map for a few days is fun, imo. Also, not a huge fan of the 'retcon' of the main story line, but that's just fluff and not a big deal. Now back to more Pikmin 4!
