Splatoon 2 Reviews
Splatoon 2 presents itself as a classic sequel and misses the opportunity to add some changes to the gameplay and multiplayer that make an impact. The game is still a must-have for shooter fans on the Nintendo Switch, even when there's not enough new content for Splatoon Veterans.

Splatoon 2 is the perfect shooter on the perfect console, and it’s an incredible amount of fun. If you’ve been looking for something competitive on the Switch then look no further. This is the splash of colour you need in your life.
The summer of splat begins right here!
Summer is Splatoon 2‘s for the taking, Nintendo building on their refreshingly original idea to produce a sequel that makes improvements across the board. It won’t take long for the game’s tentacles to wrap around you, gleefully inking your turf for hours on end. With Li’l Judd lifting a flag to indicate the victor, Splatoon 2 presents a clear win for Nintendo.
Splatoon 2 offers a stellar single-player, a robust and addictive multiplayer and in Salmon Run, a horde-like mode that provides a great alternative to standard online matches. Splatoon 2 is funky, fresh and most importantly, fun.
Splatoon 2 is the best multiplayer experience Nintendo have ever delivered
This is one of my favourite games to release in this already quality packed 2017 and if you own a Nintendo Switch, Splatoon 2 is certainly a must own title.
It's everything that made the first Splatoon good, but now there's more of it, there's new modes, and need I remind you, it's portable. A top-notch entry in what's fast becoming a beloved franchise.
Despite Nintendo splatting themselves in the foot yet again, the Splatoon franchise remains fresh. Splatoon 2 succeeds in making a number of improvements while keeping everything we know and love when it comes to these odd Squid Kids.
Caroline, Kyle, and Donnie take a super deep dive on the Nintendo Switch’s latest game, Splatoon 2. Listen in and find out everything you need to know regarding all the good, and bad, the Switch’s latest splatterfest has to offer!
Nintendo managed to rebalance the game without having to make any changes to main weapons that would trip up veteran players of the first game. Stages are similarly tweaked, often a bit more close-quarters before. In service of one of my biggest letdowns from the first game, Splatoon 2‘s single-player mechanics even show up in some multiplayer maps.
Splatoon 2 is more Splatoon - which is not necessarily a bad thing as the sequel offers everything that made the first game great, and this time there's a meaty and really fun coop horde mode to accompany the PvP battles. It's just a shame that the online multiplayer suffers from a badly designed Nintendo Switch online system.

On the surface Splatoon 2 appears to be more of the same, and that is in no way depressing.
Aside from Mario Kart 8, Splatoon 2 is the best multiplayer available on Switch right now. There’s absolutely no reason not to own it if you own a Switch. And if you don’t, you’re seriously missing out.
"Polished return."

Splatoon 2 is superior to its predecessor in almost every capacity. More content out of the gate, novel, new concepts like the Salmon Run mode, better balancing, gorgeous visuals and portability courtesy of the Nintendo Switch; Nintendo has provided much more than just a fresh coat of paint to its latest, beloved IP.
Splatoon 2 is bursting at the seams with enjoyable ink-splattering fun both in its gameplay and presentation.
Salmon Run is brilliant, but only being able to play it at specific times is downright awful, and the local form of it requires a wealth of systems and games to work optimally. Still, even with those woeful limitations, Splatoon 2 is the best online game on Switch and with more updates coming down the road, could stay that way for a very long time. This might not be quite as fresh as it was in 2015, but it is certainly, as Marina and Pearl say, “off the hook.
