Splatoon 2 Reviews
If you were a fan of Splatoon on the Wii U, and you own a Switch then you should already know the excitement and fun you're in for. If you're new to Splatoon, and own a Switch then what are you waiting for? You need this game because it's going to be worth it for sure.
Splatoon 2 expands the original concept with a 5-hour brand new single-player campaign and lots of multiplayer modes - including the great Salmon Run - that allow users to enjoy a wide variety of activities. Definitely one of the best Switch exclusives so far, a game that you should not miss if you bought the new console from Nintendo.

Overall, Splatoon 2 is a brilliant and refreshing competitive multiplayer experience, both online and offline, which really fills a void in that regard for the system.
Splatoon 2 picks up what Splatoon on the Wii U founded, and builds upon it in a great way
Nintendo has taken one of the few genuine highlights that it enjoyed with the Wii U and successfully brought it to the Switch and, one suspects, a new audience to do with the old.
Those hankering for a wildly robust and addictive competitive experience should absolutely take a dip into the neon-drenched waters of Splatoon 2. More so than Mario Kart 8, it offers a level of customisation, depth, and sheer fun that is rarely found anywhere else.
A unique online shooter both in appearance and in gameplay, that is technically accomplished, with a lot of new ideas and the content to match.

The absence of the traditional gimmick that every Nintendo sequel usually features was actually the right call for Splatoon 2. In the end, Splatoon 2 is a compelling, quick and fun multiplayer game, suitable for new players -due to the simplicity of its mechanics- and veterans that will be seduced by the complex and tactical challenges in Ranked and League Battles.

Splatoon 2 is a great game that could have been amazing. If you have a Nintendo Switch and some friends willing to deal with some headaches, then this is a must-buy especially if you didn't dive in to the series before. But the baffling way modes and maps are gated off feels antithetical to a game on a console that prides itself on letting you play however you want. It's one heck of a catch, I just wish it didn't get tangled in its own net so much.
Splatoon 2 feels more like a Deluxe version of the original game than proper sequel. But it doesn't matter at all, because it is still an unique and really fun game to play alone or with friends.

Let's face it, Nintendo hasn't made anything exclusive but masterpieces for Switch and Splatoon 2 continues this trend. The game is extremely fun, unbelievably gorgeous and so addictive that makes you forget all about other competitive shooters for quite some time.

Splatoon 2 is a brilliant and rare game that manages to outshine its predecessor, and is yet another reason to own a Switch.
Splatoon 2 Is The First Great Online Nintendo Switch Game
Unlike its unique predecessor, you largely know what you're getting into with this third person ink shooter sequel, but that's not a bad thing. Shortcomings aside, Splatoon 2 still just might be the best multiplayer experience on the Nintendo Switch so far.
As a game that never forgets to mock itself, Splatoon 2 is a must-buy for any Switch owner. Although it will always have its niggles, the base game feels much more satisfying than the original. With the promise of more weapons, stages and Splatfests in the future, Nintendo has certainly refined its colourful shooter and has plenty more ink in the tank.
Splatoon 2 greatly improves on every aspect of its predecessor without sacrificing much on the new platform. It's bigger, it's better, it's still fresh, and that's quite the recommendation. If you're an early Switch adapter, be sure not to miss out on this one. Splatoon 2's here and it's here to stay - it was a pleasure to be one of the first on the squid train, now excuse me while I scuttle off, I've got some turf to ink!
Splatoon 2 is a great game and a worthy successor to the original.
Splatoon 2 is in a love-hate relationship with the internet
We really, really like Splatoon 2 but we can't help but feel frustrated at all the poor design choices holding it back.
