Is this game much better than the demo? I played the demo with my kid and overall the couch coop game with the dog seemed much weaker than Pikmin 3. Maybe it gets better?

I didn't play the demo but I assume it's gameplay very early in the game. My review is that the game starts too slow which is probably what you experienced. Overall it might be worse than Pikmin 3 Deluxe but Pikmin 4 is still a quality game that gets better when you're around the mid-way point. It's surprisingly long too (going for all treasure, not speedrunning) and overall I think it's worth the price.

Thanks for the update! Right now it seems kid lost interest because of no co-op, but I’m sure that will change with time. It really seems like a solid game.

The game itself is excellent but the coop is pretty weak. Versus battles are a lot of fun and better balanced than Pikmin 3.

That’s good to know, thank you!
