I'd never played a Pikmin game before, but I enjoyed Tinykin last year, so I was keen to try this one out. It was a very fun chill game, while I enjoyed the occasional Dandori challenge I found just gathering things in the overworld to be relaxing and fun.
I completed the extra two levels, but wound up bailing out when I got to Olimar's challenge because that was much more focused on the Dandori style challenge of doing things as optimally as possible. While I can see the fun in that, it ran counter to the more relaxed way I was enjoying the game.
My understanding is that the Olimar story is more like how the first 3 Pikmin games were, so I'm not totally inclined to go pick those up at the moment.
