Splatoon is awesome!



"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."

Great review, seems everyone has fun with this game.

High score for a game with so many negatives ... It is fun though ... can't wait for additional maps / content.

A little surprised you didn't mention the content locked behind amiibo , or the mini game (s) you can play while you wait for the match making

 

Edit - I do hate that you can't back out of a search (without powering down the console that is)

Great review! I pretty much agree with everything you say. My biggest gripe with this game is the CRAZY LACK of content at launch. Now, at least, we're starting to see a little more 'seep' out, lol.

Anyway, I give this game an 8.5

There only one mini game... cool idea but I couldn't really cram it into my review to sound good. Maybe the content section would be good i guess. But I was worried that I'm going way to long in the review. And amiibo, i don't own a Splatoon one and I honestly don't think they should go into a games score unless they are taking away content that would be there or way to much. Which this game is very border line with that.

A lot of my small issues section is such nit picky thing that I looked a little more at and thought are these really affecting my experience. Which NNID and a stat page really aren't. The backing out of a room is nice, but they fill up so quick that I can live with it. So I over looked a lot of them, but felt they should be mentioned. So I mainly just took off for amount of content that at the time of the review should be there, but I was lighter due to more coming. a little for voice chat. And the fluff single player level are still a bit enjoyable. but I don't like how they had 5 or 6 fluff levels.

I enjoyed the game so much that its hard to give it any lower.

You can unlock different mini games with Amiibo.
