    This is one of my favorite games. Excellent. The concept is so simple but the game-play is so addicting. There are a limited number of songs but they're so good and the game play is so good that you somehow don't get tired of the same songs. I find myself saying, "just one more match" over and over again only to realize I have played this game into the wee hours of the morning. Very goodThis is one of my favorite games. Excellent.

    One of the best games I played! Nice graphics, wonderful soundtrack, good single player mode, good online mode. The DLC of this game is good too and 20€ worth. A game you can play the hole time, really really good.

    My first bought game for Nintendo Switch. Different from any shooter style game. I love the idea of using brushes and painting tools as weapons. I´ve never played the original Wii U game, but the octopus/squid universe it´s so funny and colorful. Story mode is interesting and long enough, but really prefer the online mode. Matches and team battles make the game unlimited. SpeciallyMy first bought game for Nintendo Switch. Different from any shooter style game.

    大家评分低可能是相比一代进化不大，实际本身一代自己挺完整的，二代更像强化版。对于二代才入坑的我来说，近年来最痴迷的游戏了，玩了快2000小时。绝对有毒，玩法新颖，人设潮爆，世界观有趣，很任天堂又跟以前的任天堂不一样。容易上手，难于精通，反正真格被打爆，留恋涂地不知上进。哈哈，任天堂的女玩家从这作就看出有好多。大家评分低可能是相比一代进化不大，实际本身一代自己挺完整的，二代更像强化版。对于二代才入坑的我来说，近年来最痴迷的游戏了，玩了快2000小时。绝对有毒，玩法新颖，人设潮爆，世界观有趣，很任天堂又跟以前的任天堂不一样。容易上手，难于精通，反正真格被打爆，留恋涂地不知上进。哈哈，任天堂的女玩家从这作就看出有好多。

Splatoon 2 is great for both returning players such as myself, or new players. What disappointed me the most about the first game was the fact that it was on the Wii U, a system that failed dramatically. But with Splatoon 2 being a Nintendo Switch exclusive title, new players can experience an even better game than before.
    With much better graphics, more modes, tons of new features, and much more, this game is easily worth the price-point in my book. While the game's focus is its multiplayer, there is a single-player campaign. Although the campaign in Splatoon 2 isn't as great as the first, it still offers a fun experience that isn't too difficult. If you're looking for a challenge, the Octo Expansion DLC is available for purchase, offering a much harder campaign, new story, items, and more.
    Splatoon 2 is easily my favorite multiplayer game. the gameplay mechanics are fun, and each victory feels rewarding. I recommend it to anyone.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Splatoon 2 might be my favorite game of all time! The problems I had with the original game were the verity and balance of the guns, the bland characters, and lack of special abilities. Splatoon 2 fixes all of them. They added sloshers and umbrellas and balenced the rest of the guns. Marina is my favorite character in video game history and pearl is good too. The added more abilities than just ink armor and multiple bombs. To go along with it salmon run is great even though you can’t always play it. Splatoon is by far my favorite switch game and one of my all time favorites.… Expand

    A game truly worthy of being a sequel to one of the best Wii U games of all time. It improves on so much, adding more weapons, stages hairstyles and so much more. In my opinion, the campaign in the first game was better, but this one is amazing as well.

    The game is very good in my opinion, because it makes a very common thing unique, no paintball game is this original and no paintball game has a better quality than Splatoon 2, and maybe that's why this game is unique.

    游戏时间：750 小时+

    Splatoon第一代在Wii U上推出的时候，就喜欢上了这游戏的美术风格和音乐，但可惜当时并没有Wii U，所以苦等这么多年后，终于在Switch上得以圆梦。任天堂出品的FPS游戏自然是有着强烈的“老任味”，最传统的涂地模式，对FPS新手及其友好，即使是像我一样的“描边大师”也可以快乐的喷喷喷，每场比赛并不需要你疯狂的击杀对手，只是认真地涂地，就是在为自己队伍做贡献。任天堂再一次通过机制的创新，拓展了这一传统游戏类型的边界。当然，前面所说的“友好”也仅仅针对游戏前十几小时，10级之后开始“真格”比赛，面对各路高手，痛苦的晋级之路由此开始了，这也完美符合任天堂游戏上手容易精通难的特点。游戏所有武器都是现实世界各种物品的变形与组合，每把武器手感配合手柄的HD震动功能，精准地传递给玩家，我个人喜欢使用狙击枪，4K和中狙在蓄力以及击杀时，手柄给人的反馈是完全不一样的，其他武器也都有类似的差别，所以，在卡通的风格下，任天堂的开发人员是做了相当多的细节雕琢的，这也让休闲和硬核玩家，都能找到自己最适应的游玩方式。
    如果在对战中被打到血压飙升，还可以去打工（Salmon Run），和其他3名队友配合，给熊老板收集金鱼籽。打工根据潮水位置，昼夜情况也有着不同玩法，随着玩家段位提升，打工难度自然也会提高。
    要说缺点，可能FPS老手会对这个游戏嗤之以鼻吧，但对于我这种休闲玩家，最大的缺点就是自己菜（笃定）。任天堂服务器是不是“抽风”的确是最影响游戏体验的部分了，也是最为玩家诟病的部分，这一点，只能过年多给老任服务器烧高香了（笑）。    … Expand

    Though never fun in real life, spilling ink all around is even more fun in Splatoon 2 than it was in the first game. Teaming up with your squid friends has never been better. But even though some weird Nintendo elements can drag the fun to a stall, everywhere that Splatoon 2 shines makes it a deserving heir to the original.

    Splatoon 2 builds on what its successor did so well, with a much larger base of assets that has allowed Nintendo to provide more to consumers right off the bat.

    Splatoon extended its content and has brought a funny storyline in the second episode. Both newcomers to the Switch and fans of the first game, this is a must-have for you. [Issue#277]
