Splatoon 2 Reviews
Splatoon 2 is a great game and a worthy successor to the original.
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!
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.
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.
Splatoon 2 Is The First Great Online Nintendo Switch Game
Splatoon 2 is a brilliant and rare game that manages to outshine its predecessor, and is yet another reason to own a Switch.
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 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.

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.
This is one of the best third person shooters on any system, do yourself a favor and buy it now.

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.

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.

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.
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 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.

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.
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.
Splatoon 2 is bursting at the seams with enjoyable ink-splattering fun both in its gameplay and presentation.
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.
"Polished return."
