7.5/10

Keep in mind that this guy is a YT reviewer with ~5k subs.

Straight up shamelessly copying TL;DR version from /v/

>Game is fun but lacking content.
>Amiibo use is not good.
>Not worth $60, wait till around $30.
>Single player is really lackluster, feels like an afterthought.
>Multiplayer is super fun but the lack of easy access to friends or voice chat really bogs it down. Especially when people don't understand the goal of turf zone.
>Game controls really great, loves the gyro controls
>Best looking game on the Wii U

Lol.
This game costs £28-39 here. :p

Does this count towards metacritic?
Also , I don't believe it's the best looking game on U. It's in the tops but not the best. The best would go to Bayo2, Smash or MK imo.

This man has done a lot of shitty reviews.

And no, it doesn´t count for metacritic, is just a youtuber with less than 5k subs

Let´s wait until Meta score is up and we can read all the opinons of the press.




It's sort of what I expect from a lot of reviewers. It looks like a good game, but also lacking content. I'm buying either way cause the lack of content won't bother me as there is DLC coming. 



When does the embargo lift?

Splatoon is £30 on Amazon UK right now, strange that the US aren't getting the same price-point, and I think the content but can be balanced out by the free DLC that's coming in the near-future.

That's a shame, lack of content? maybe it should have been a download only game $30 max?



Another one.

Metacritic says that equals 82 but I didn't see a score anywhere in the review.

Yeah, that is odd.

Even if the DLC is free, I'm still uncertain whether or not it'll help balance it out.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."
