Thanks for replies. Re. Pikmin 4 I might give it a go one day. I liked the little guys and 3 was fun when it wasn't stressful

I think you would genuinely love 4.

There's even an option to auto-complete sections if you can't do them!

Oh you monkey - that's cost me LOL

Pretty sure I wasn't going to get this - but I think you've just swayed it

Like I say I love pikmin aesthetic (3 had the vibe of a cosy game but was quite stressful - so I like the idea of pikmin being a little chilled), world, gameplay style - but I didn't use any kind of assist in 3 and limped to the end.

I know Jezo is on the prowl and I generally avoid assist modes - but this is one game I'd have more fun knowing there's auto-complete if I need it.

I think I'll give it a go - cheers

Nice to have you on board!

Check out the demo - it's a couple of hours and if you buy the main game you can import your demo progress over!

There's no time limit on the main quest, but the main quest does have a few timed challenges (ie get a certain amount of points in 2 minutes). They're not too bad and inject a bit of tension into a chilled experience, but if you are struggling with these you can just skip them.

Also you can set controller shortcuts which make the game much more playable. Look up a guide for suggested ones but I used "click left stick" to swap between the dude and Oatchi. Ooh and don't sleep on upgrading Oatchi. He's very powerful and key to an easier/chiller time.

Cool that's everything you need to know to have a chill pikmin experience. Have fun!

I bought it

Cheers for the details and starter tips Aaron
