the Octo expansion consists of 80 non-linear missions. these missions are challenges that are focused around one to three specific weapon that remix all the mechanics of the first campaign as well as a handful of new mechanics. in some challenges you have to navigate a giant 8-ball through the level being careful not to knock it off the edge while still avoiding enemies. in other challenges you can have a limited ink tank and have to make it through the level without running out. some levels dont even give you a weapon at all and you are challenged with either surviving a set period of time or stealthing your way to the end. there is so much more variety here, making for a much better experience that the normal campaign. not to mention that these challenges are a lot harder but they never feel particularly unfair, making each one satisfying to complete. and i wont get into spoilers but this game delivers some amazing world building and lore to the Splatoon universe.
IMO, the Octo Expansion is the best thing to come out of the Splatoon IP so far. and due to the challenges being focused around specific weapons, i believe that if you are mostly just into the game for the multiplayer, then the Octo Expansion will make you a better player. they force you to learn the ins and outs of each weapon and use each weapon to their highest extent.
