Personally all 3 give it something different to me, but my favorite is Pikmin 2 Pikmin 1: Best Challenge, 30 days of pressure unlike any game before Pikmin 2: Best Exploration+Content. 100hours of goodness Pikmin 3: By far best gameplay+graphics and maps (and extra modes),but pikmin 2 had so much more to offer imo |
I thought that too because of the time limit, but recently I started a new Pikmin 1 playthrough for old time's sake and it's much easier than I remember. Once you have a general idea of how Pikmin works and where things are, you can absolutely fly through the game with few losses. On a first-time playthrough it might seem harder, but only because it has a fail condition in the overall time limit. I think that the enemies are more varied and challenging in Pikmin 3, and the puzzles are more complex. It's possible that someone entirely new to the series would struggle just as much with Pikmin 3 as a newcomer would with the first game.
Once you've gotten the hang of Pikmin, none of the games are particularly difficult. The real challenge is found in the aptly-named Challenge Modes, which are absent from the first game aside from a simple score leaderboard.
