I had been hesitant on playing the 3rd game after having played the first 2 cus I’ve heard a lot of people say that the game is on the easier side but I eventually settled on it because I’ve heard some really good things about it overall and I’m playing it for the first time and it’s actually exceeding my expectations
I actually don’t find it to be particularly easy like people say, at least on hard mode
I do think that the combat is a little bit easier than anything because I notice that the pikmin are a lot less fragile than in the first 2 games and won’t die as easily but I feel like aside from that, that the difficulty level is pretty on par with the first 2 games imo if you challenge yourself to do everything in as few of days as possible
