despite enemies being able to kill like all of your pikmin in one shot if you don't respect them, this game never really felt frustrating.. well, until the final boss, but i played that one a bit wrong lol. even then i probably beat it within 15 minutes, including retries

  i really like how the timer incentivizes you to play very efficiently and plan out your day while also not actually being very stressful and having a ton of leeway.. which is funny because i critiqued Citizen Sleeper for the same thing. but in that game i feel like the fact that you actually have an absurd amount of time to do things goes against its story and vibe, in this game it doesn't really have that effect

  if the pikmin weren’t at least slightly brain damaged it wouldn’t be true pikmin

i loved the game at first but I hated the time limit because I suck and needed to figure out how to play the first 10 days so I was insanely behind and I cannot be bothered to replay the game to try and get the parts again. i have started pikmin 2 and it is, IMO, 10 times better than this game because it doesn't have a time limit. i love olimar though and his logs.

  I respect your opinion, but for me, the time limit is key to this game's incredible atmosphere. Needing one part per day creates just the right amount of tension

Planning and executing a 9 day run in this is easily the gaming achievement I am most proud of. This game is flawlessly designed imo, between the circular level designs that emphasise maneuverability and the continual tug of war between recovering ship parts, building structures and compensating for your pikmin losses.

I know everyone has problems with the tripping and pikmin AI in this game, though I think it only adds to the challenge in a fair way. Being able to effectively wrangle and organise your squad is immensely gratifying and adds an additional dimension of strategy to a game that already demands a constant level of forward thinking. It's the only game in the series to really make you feel like you're controlling a separate race of homogenised plant people, rather than just the captains

  I totally agree with you on the Pikmin AI. Lots of people complain about how stupid they are in this game, but they're supposed to be somewhat clueless and helpless. They feel more believable that way--if they always did exactly what you told them to without fail, they would just be little automatons rather than independent little plant guys

  Exactly. Pikmin 4 is good, but it really makes the Pikmin feel like robots

really love how all 4 games are so good that you could say any of them is your favorite and it would be a perfectly respectable opinion
