"The improved single-player experience, the enhanced and multitude of online modes for all skill levels and Salmon Run which is just a ton of fun make Splatoon 2 the complete Switch game. The game’s style and charm are terrific and it runs at an amazing 1080p 60fps rock solid the entire time. With a year or more of updates promised and regular Splatfests planned, Splatoon 2 will among your most played games for a while to come." ... Read full review

"Despite the wireless issues, weird schedules, and a bit of familiarity, Splatoon 2 comes out on top overall. The various modes, weapons, and gear offer a lot of strategic options to experiment with, but anyone can jump in, have fun, and feel like they’re contributing. It’s easy to get carried away for hours, splattering the world with ink, and we look forward to seeing how Splatoon 2 expands as Nintendo adds new elements over the coming months." ...

"Splatoon 2 is the equivalent to a beautiful, but moody girlfriend. Mostly you have a great time, but sometimes the inherited quirks are too much to bear. Having said that, the mechanics of this ink shooter still feel fresh, but some lack of content is still evident - as is the problem with time restrictions with certain modes (e.g. Salmon Run) and the finicky online app. (updated 07/21/17) " ...

But I absolutely adored my time with Splatoon 2. I had not played the first, so I went in with a clean slate. And it immediately became one of my favorite Switch games. There are several different multiplayer modes, each with endless replayability, with Rainmaker being my favorite of the bunch. There is also Salmon Run, a team-based zombie fish survival mode. It's WAY more fun than it sounds. If multiplayer isn't doing it for you, then you also have the Octo Canyon and Octo Expansion single player modes to work through, each with their own level of enjoyment. When you're not doing any of that, you can customize your character with hundreds of different clothing options, or enjoy random posts in the plaza. Overall, Splatoon 2 is a phenomenal game. Just prepare to get salty at either losing matches or at the occasionally bad connections.… Expand

I consider this game more of a port with some new stuff. but it's fair since when Splatoon 1 came out the Wii U was already a dead console.

A really good game bogged down by problems it shouldn't even have. Like it's mind boggling how these issues slipped through.
-You can joinA really good game bogged down by problems it shouldn't even have. Like it's mind boggling how these issues slipped through.
-You can join your friends easily enough in salmon run, but in normal matches it won't put you together. It will often put one person into a game and make the other wait, or put you on different teams, or just mess it up entirely.
-You can't skip the squid sisters dialogue and are forced to sit through it all again EVERY time you start the game up.
-The weapons are extremely unbalanced.
-You can't change any gear in lobby resulting in bad team comps, and all the menus outside of a game have long load times and are all separate in entirely different shops to force said load time

The game has problems sure, but they could turn this into a 9/10 game with a future update easily if they wanted to actually address these problems. Other than these issues it's a very stand up game.… Expand
