    TL;DR - Love it, but there needs to be more of it. There are too many ways to cut comparisons that make the game easily feel bare bones, most notably to the already bare bones original. This feeling only increased when Paid Online was introduced, a rip off now that new content has stopped and improvements to Online as a whole are nowhere to be heard of.

    I have a lot of detailed cons and    TL;DR - Love it, but there needs to be more of it. There are too many ways to cut comparisons that make the game easily feel bare bones, most notably to the already bare bones original. This feeling only increased when Paid Online was introduced, a rip off now that new content has stopped and improvements to Online as a whole are nowhere to be heard of.

    I have a lot of detailed cons and few pros, but that's just because I'm really good at complaining and not describing good. I, in fact, adore this game a lot.

    Pros:

    Unique and Fun Twist - There simply isn't anything that plays like Splatoon 2 other than the original, I'd gladly experience inking action day in and day out not only because of an engaging reward system, but actually being fun at its core. Not many games can say that.

    Cons:

    Missing basic features - Since Nintendo has proven to be just like other companies as of late, I've decided to criticise them for this instead of being thankful that they're 'in the past'. Why no bots? Why no Single Player Salmon Run? Why no servers? Why can't the game tell me what I have and haven't bought already? Why are all the minigames gone, couldn't even port them?

    Gear - The fun grinds to a halt when it comes to the gear system. I never re-roll because I know that I won't get what I want, so I always scrub slots. For some reason, the chunks just come way too slow. I guess it's improved in the sense that it's guaranteed, but it's worse in that it will always take forever. On that note, miss Splatfest and you're out of luck, simple as that.

    Paid online - The quality just isn't satisfied if I have to continually pay for it. Keep in mind that I have a strong opinion that Paid Online is wrong full stop, but think about it, this version of Paid Online is at its worst, other platforms would at least butter you up so you don't feel bad that you're being forced into what should be a VERY unnecessary payment every year, on Nintendo you're paying for the sake of paying. Nintendo, if they insist on making it paid, should be buttering us up by bettering the online experience and putting more content into their online IPs, but after all this time there isn't so much as a rumour that they plan to do anything.

    Lacking content - Stages and weapons never ported from the original, far too few online modes, especially casual ones, am I really asking much? It's such an easy fix too! Do what you have already been doing by using the Bucket tool on a pre-existing weapon palettes, re-arrange the pre-existing sub and special assets and release, I'm not a programmer and I know for a fact that this isn't hard. Stages? Re-release stages that ended up being overhauled overtime as 'classics' and port the stages that haven't been from the original. New modes? Easy: Single-Player Salmon Run, Survival Salmon Run (infinite amount of waves only stops after a crew wipe. Starts at easiest, gets harder by equivalent of 5 rank points each wave, more or less depending on performance. Scored by waves survived multiplied by average difficulty boosts across rounds.) Team Splatmatch (Team Deathmatch), a way to play pre-existing Ranked Modes casually, pre-existing modes but with asymmetrical multiplayer elements (usual team of 4 VS Player-Controlled and fully armoured Agent 4, fit with fully upgraded mains of each weapon class, every sub and all specials, equipped before the match), if they insist on Paid Online then a more substantial Offline, ability to play pre-existing modes Offline in general, pre-existing modes but with limitations on what main, sub and special is allowed to be used. I could go on, I really could.

    Blasters - Nintendo thought it was smart to make a weapon class that can't miss, kills fast and has the advantage regardless of range. No, no it wasn't. Direct hit, instant kill. Miss twice, still a kill! Using a weaker Blaster that kills in 2 directs or 4 misses? Fires faster to compensate, I already mentioned you can't miss, it's exactly the same but with better coverage and maybe a more helpful set. Long range? Good, bully them without them even realising what's happening or being able to touch you. Short range? You DEFINITELY can't miss now and your range is way longer than you think due to the explosions. The only thing it can't do is get coverage, which doesn't matter as it will face every round essentially unopposed. Now yes, this class could be balanced out by removing automatic fire and requiring an additional button press for the ink bullet to explode to make them actually take skill to use and even make them more versatile, then maybe even buff their ink coverage to compensate for these changes, but after what they pulled with the Clash Blaster, I no longer trust the Devs to ever get this right. So, just remove the whole thing and equivalents, never speak of it again and never bring it back next game or in any game. Oh and a few other weapons are overpowered I guess, take this as a point about poor balancing?    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'd like to state that I've been trying to love the splatoon series since it's inception on the Wii U. However, Splatoon 2 Isnt the fix the game has desperately needed. Splatoon 2 in short is just a large add-on to the original splatoon 2. The singleplayer story and gameplay are not far different from the original. The game's main focus is online multiplayer but for one reason or another nintendo decided to keep the same poor-net code that plagued the last installment by choosing web-style hosting rather than dedicated servers and further lowering the games tick-rate. This has led to one thing I noticed about splatoon that always stays consistent, its how inconsistent the game feels. Theres no consistent hit detection, the games net-code favors weapons that instant kill than those with lower DPS such as the ink guns. So while playing you see that you hit a player enough to kill them yet due to the delay in the netcoding you are far more likely to die first if they are using weapons such as the sloshers, brushes, etc. This makes the gun type weapons less desirable in online matches because of they sheer reaction time you would need to even be able to compete. This leads me onto the motion controls. Ive had massive problems with the motion controls with the switch version compared to the last. Simply because none of the aim movements feel consistent, in my case using the pro controller which makes aiming a complete and utter chore. I hope in the next installment of this series nintendo puts on their big boy pants and actually do the framework of a competitive shooter rather than trying to make it look like one.… Expand

    I rented Splatoon 2 because of the great reviews. I only rented it for the single-player campaign because my internet does not support multiplayer games.

I have never met a motion-controller that I like, and Splatoon 2 didn't change my mind about that. It uses motion controls to aim, and that makes aiming awkward and frequently frustrating. There is no precision to aiming, and that is very important in a 3rd person shooter. The single-player campaign is hidden in the city. I found the first two levels, which took me about an hour to complete. There are 5 levels total from the guide I read. I quit the game after the first two levels were completed because of the motion controls though. The game has an interesting mechanic where your character can turn into a squid and swim in any ink you've laid down, which happens with every shot of your gun as it shoots ink. But your gun doesn't have a very long range, so you can't hit anything more than 5 feet in front of you, much less the balloons floating above you that you need to target to progress, and there are frequent platforming sections where you need to ink the platform in front of you, squid to the end, and jump to the next platform. With motion controls, these are the embodiment of frustration, as I had to attempt a simple jump more than a few times, and it just isn't fun. Ultimately, I decided the game wasn't worth my precious time and returned it. Your tolerance for motion controls may vary, but if you hate them like I do, you're not going to like this game. 2/5 stars.… Expand

    I bought this game in the classic tradition of Nintendo games, to play with friends especially while hanging out in proximity with eachother. Unfortunately, I can't, I cannot stay connected to this game online even long enough to get though a single 4 minute match, this game is literally unplayable.

    The first problem is that the antennae in the Nintendo Switch are made out of Laffy Taffy, as has been observed by multiple reviewers and journalism sites. When I connect wirelessly I DC from every match even when sitting literally 8 feet from the router.

    To get around the hardware problem I figured I would just play the game with the console docked and with an ethernet cable. Turns out the Switch doesnt support the first two $30 ethernet adapters I bought, took a week of back and forth shipping to figure out which one that was supposed to work actually did.

    So finally, with my $30 adapter, with my console docked which is not how I would prefer to use it, with my router's QoS set up to prioritize my console's connection above all else I invite a friend over for a week to stay up late and marathon this game that they like so much.

    Nope, doesnt work, Splatoon's netcode wont allow it. We can both connect to the internet on the switch via ethernet cables, but as soon one of us tries to join the other's lobby it disconnects the first person who joined.

    OK we say, one of us can be docked and the other can be wireless. Whoops we are back to square one where the wireless doesnt work.

    I wish I could say something positive about this game, I do, but this is a multiplayer game, where because of bad hardware and bad netcode I had to spend unnecessary amounts of time and money to even get it to work properly, and then as soon as I actually try to play it with a friend, as a nintendo game, it all breaks.

    Thats not even starting on the fact that when you join the lobby of a friend you cannot ensure that you will actually be on the same team. This game has just the least support for actually playing with a friend of any game ive played in the last 10 years.    … Expand

While the base gameplay concept is fine and dandy, that is shooting ink everywhere and all that jazz, the actual PvP experience here is dreadful. You might think this game's whole point is ink spreading, but because of the maps and overall design, you will run into others constantly and the actual shooting mechanics show their true colors (pun?) within this combat. Aiming is horrible and twitchy. Using the analog stick feels so imprecise that any battle feels like a battle of pure luck, Considering you die within half a second anyways, that's what it all is, luck. There are also many weapon imbalances. Some weapons are terrible, while others are extremely overpowered. Weapons like the splatterscopes are far too slow for the whole objective, while weapons like the brushes and sloshers are so broken that it is hilarious, such as how when you attack with these weapons, the person you are attacking can barely see because ink is being splashed all over the place. Any other weapons, mostly they feel the same. Many automatic weapons feel very similar to each other and the only major difference is with sub weapons and specials. Again, some of those suck, others are stupidly overdone.

    I wouldn't mind all of this garbage if the overall game didn't feel so irritating in its execution. Losing makes you lose points on your weapons freshness, so this means that no matter how well you do, which I frequently outperform my team on the ink spreading objective, if your team sucks, then you will be punished for it. What if your internet has a hiccup for no reason out of nowhere and you disconnect for a split second, leaving the match? You get punished, losing freshness points further. Hell, what if Nintendo's own servers commit suicide and disconnect you even before a match fully starts??? YOU. GET. PUNISHED. Had that happen once. A match was loading and right when it shows the map itself, I got disconnected out of nowhere and there were zero problems on my network, so it was clearly Nintendo's problem and I lost freshness points. Awesome. Yay.

    The only other diversions are the completely pointless single player campaign that offers no real reward for anything and Salmon Run, a hugely overrated horde mode that features a tiny map and bosses as far as the eye can see. It is challenge in the worst possible way, throwing so much at you that there is no way to deal with it.

    Above everything else, the game just feels like a chore. Want to level up for more weapons? Eventually, and by that I mean really friggin fast, it takes forever to level up even once. Which makes it all feel like a grind. How about abilities? Want to unlock those? A grind. What about ability chunks to get specific abilities that you actually want on a piece of gear that you like? A grind. What about taking chunks off of gear you don't like to use for others which costs 20,000 gold to do? Griiiiiiiiiiiiiiind. For some reason, nobody mentions this type of stuff because everyone thinks Nintendo is the beacon of perfection. They aren't and this game's glaring issues are a testament to that. Also, there is no voice chat at all or a proper party system, obviously. The only voice chat you can get is with Nintendo's terrible phone app and...screw that.

    All in all, I want to like this game. Seriously, I do. That makes me even more frustrated. This game has so many good ideas, but not good execution. Considering that this is a sequel, that makes it even more confusing.    … Expand

    Now, just like with Fortnite, I kept an open mind for this game. But I just couldn't. Just like with Fortnite, the online isn't very beginner friendly, and the single-player campaign is VERY lack-luster. The worst part is, I can't take it back to the store. So, the moral of the story? Shooter games don't target the casual gamers.

    This is a bad game. It has severall flaws. The controls aren't very precise, for example. The screen is cluttered with information. Single rounds last only for 3 minutes, yet the respawn times are like 10 seconds. Because you get killed a lot, you will mostly be staring at loading or connection screens. Don't buy this.

    Suffice it to say that in order to get into the player search grid, you need to wait 5 minutes for unskippable news, and the search for the players themselves is now taking another 3 minutes. To play once, you simply wait a minimum of 8 minutes. And the single player mode in this game is rubbish.
