4 is kind of the culmination of every Pikmin game before it
theres still a lot to enjoy with previous games but I do think it might be tough if you played 4 first
I agree with the first part wholeheartedly, its basically the ultimate pikmin game and Im always interested in what new players think of the difficulty. I thought it was too easy but Ive been playing the games for 20 years so maybe Im not an objective judge on it.
i do think the others are worth playing if youre really enjoying 4. 2 would be the most similar to 4 as far as structure goes, as youre looking for treasure and have a bunch of multilevel caves to explore. It also has two captains similarish to 4.
1 has a 30 day time limit but its not as stressful as a lot of people think, especially if it isnt your first pikmin. 3 has a day limit based on the amount of food you find, but its not really stressful aside from one moment. The three captains also dramatically change how efficient you can be in gathering food and completing objectives. The switch versions campaign can be local co-op too so if you have somebody to play with its a lot of fun.
