"Small and repetitive" is one way of putting it, "fun and fast-paced" is another. The idea behind Splatoon and many of the greatest online multiplayer games is that you take a really simple set of mechanics, and perfect them. Then it's down to the player to find a way within those mechanics that they like to play. There's depth to be found if you want, but the game never forces you to bother with that - it can also just be simple fun. I liken the game to the excellent Rocket League in terms of how it creates short-form morish online multiplayer in this way. I imagine it's not everyone's cup of tea - X it ain't, that's for sure.

I wouldn't label it as fun after about an hour or so of play. 

Yeah, because as I said, I imagine it's not everyone's cup of tea. It doesn't have the obvious depth of a game like X. You're perhaps not the kind of person who likes to just sit in front of a TV and relax to a really easy-to-play turn-your-brain-off kind of game.

I'm guessing Mario Kart online isn't something you engage with too much either. Doesn't mean it isn't a lot of fun to a lot of people
