My issue with Splatoon 2 comes down to, the changes made to the single player which is more grindy and less fun plus the battle stages, which almost all are less vertical and feature less areas you can't get ink on along with being spacious.

The single player, I can't get my mind around other then the forced weapon stages are annoying and while some stages are still good regardless of weapon, some stages and the process of getting to them in the hub areas are just tedious.

I get the changes made to the battle stages, mean you are more likely to meet enemies and lead to more pitched battles, but I miss swimming up tall structures and not having to worry about ink landing on an surfaces they don't work on. Heck the un-inkable surface stuff is the reason I hated the bridge stage in Splatoon 1, now over 50% of the stages are just like that one.

But despite these flaws, plus the lack of easy to produce Miiverse posts, I am still having fun. Salmon Run, is probably where I have spend more then half of my playing time and the game does improve the gear customization. I really can't say which is better, but with Miiverse dead, you are better off going Splatoon 2 by default.
