Critic Reviews for Splatoon Raiders
Splatoon Raiders is an incredibly well-designed action RPG with an expertly executed loop. Its deep customization, challenging battles, and sheer variety make it the best Splatoon campaign yet and one of the top games on Switch 2.
Splatoon Raiders shows a new degree of flexibility for the franchise, with a single-player campaign that’s much more satisfying than its past attempts to inject a story campaign into the main games.
After rolling credits, Splatoon Raiders made it clear that there is still a good amount of post-game content to check out. I just don’t feel much of a drive to play more. I had fun drowning all of those salmonids in ink. But just like them, I’ve had my fill.
Splatoon Raiders successfully trades competitive PvP for an addictive, looter-shooter loop packed with bite-sized raids, deep crafting, and thrilling co-op. While a few late-game missions hit mild repetition, the top-tier movement, gorgeous Switch 2 visuals, and rock-solid 60 fps performance keep the momentum going strong. Whether you're playing solo or with friends, it's a phenomenal spin-off that no Splatoon fan should miss. $59.99 at Amazon Check Best Buy
Splatoon Raiders may be missing the series' iconic Turf War, but what we have here is possibly the most variable and exciting game the series has ever offered. Regardless of your skill level or personal play styles, the game is able to cater to practically any taste, and all whilst delivering one of the most enjoyable gameplay loops on the console.It looks good, runs fantastically, and you can play practically the whole thing with friends if you wish. Not only that, but Nintendo's flogging it for a bargain price. It may not push any boundaries within the genre per se, but it's difficult to find anything negative to say about it, it really is a must-play for almost anyone.
Nintendo has pulled off a game that's pure addiction . You always want to complete everything, find everything, and keep playing to complete more and find more.

Is Splatoon Raiders groundbreaking? No. Is it the best in its class? Also, no. I've played better, deeper, and more involved looter shooters out there. Having said this, I found a fun charm in Splatoon Raiders and it all comes from this universe that Nintendo has built.
