    At the beginning it seems is too simple, but when you learn to play it and start trying all ranked and salmon modes it becomes a 10 game. Simple but deep

    Very fun game, better than the first in everyway, Splatoon was my favorite game on the Wii U and Splatoon 2 does a good job improving on the good parts of Splatoon 1 while removing what didn't work too well, the online works good, the gameplay is very fun, and I love the artstyle, though that voice chat...wtf.

    This is the definitive Splatoon experience. Did you like the first game? Then this is all you could ask for. New story, weapons and supers, maps, features, game modes, on a hybrid console with upgraded graphics (1080p60fps docked).
    It's an all around upgrade compared to Splatoon 1, they improved upon it in every aspect.

    Splatoon 2 was a fantastic sequel to the original game for the Wii U. Salmon run is a great horde mode with unique gameplay, and the new weapons and abilities are a wonderful improvement from Splatoon. A couple quirks that Nintendo decided to go with for he game may have detracted more from other games, but Splatoon 2 is so dang fun, I can't get myself to care about minor annoyances.Splatoon 2 was a fantastic sequel to the original game for the Wii U.

A couple quirks that Nintendo decided to go with for he game may have detracted more from other games, but Splatoon 2 is so dang fun, I can't get myself to care about minor annoyances.

    Pros:
    - New weapons, including the splat dualies, really mix up play styles.
    - New abilities seem to be much better balanced. None of the abilities give timed invincibility as many did in Splatoon, and are counterable without feeling useless.
    - Matchmaking is usually pretty quick and fair, but not without occasional issues.
    - Salmon run is a wonderful PvE addition to the game and fleshes out the experience as a whole
    - Single player campaign continues to add truly unique gameplay functions, and a relatively entertaining little story.
    - Splatnet 2 App is really useful, letting you see details from previous matches, and order unique gear from a marketplace
    - Music is once again FANTASTIC in this game, love the style of Splatoon's music, and this iteration stepped up the quality in my opinion.
    - Motion controls are very intuitive and accurate after a short "break-in" period of getting used to controlling a shooter in a new way. (I wish y-axis analog stick control wasn't forced to be disabled when motion controls were on, though)
    - Nintendo will be supporting the game with free maps and weapons for the next year, providing reasons to continue coming back.
    - Splatfests continue to be lots of fun and very rewarding for participants. #TeamKetchup

    Cons:
    - You've already heard it, I wish I could quickly change my weapons and/or gear between matches without leaving the lobby. Just a nice quality of life feature that would make it more fun to change up your playstyle.
    - Playing with friends is clunky. I don't have a whole lot of friends with Splatoon 2, but I wish it was easier to team up for online play. Journalist reviews will explain the strange excluded features better than I can if you don't know what I'm talking about.
    - Lack of useful chat options. "This Way", "Ouch" and "Booyah" just aren't enough many times. Quick chat options in Rocket League promote great communication between strangers on the internet, and something similar would be very useful in Splatoon 2.    … Expand

    I missed out on experiencing Splatoon for the Wii U, so my experience with Splatoon 2 on the Switch is untampered by some complaints I've heard by people who did play it on the Wii U, namely the fact that they're calling it a sequel, though there's a sparsity of new features and overall it doesn't feel as though Nintendo heeded the feedback they received from the first game. If they hadI missed out on experiencing Splatoon for the Wii U, so my experience with Splatoon 2 on the Switch is untampered by some complaints I've heard by people who did play it on the Wii U, namely the fact that they're calling it a sequel, though there's a sparsity of new features and overall it doesn't feel as though Nintendo heeded the feedback they received from the first game. If they had called it a "deluxe" edition, as they did with Mario Kart 8 on the Switch, rather than "Splatoon 2," I think the disappointment could have been avoided.

    But luckily, this is the first experience I've had with the game, so my impressions are overall very positive, if number of playtime hours displayed on my Switch's profile are any indication, which would be 70 hours within just a month getting the game, and I don't see myself taking a break from it any time soon. I'll make a list of pros and cons, starting with the cons:

    Cons:
    -there really should be more modes than there are. What is there is apparently fun enough to drain 70 hours of my life throughout the course of a single month, but with only four modes (five if you include Salmon Run, which is only available on specific days at specific times), it really does make you wish for more
    -the single player campaign is fine, but there really is a lot more potential for it, given that the core gameplay mechanics are so unique. And locating the actual levels in each of the five worlds is irritating
    -there are a lot of different loading screens in the community area, whether you walk into a shop, walk into the lobby, walk into the Salmon Run waiting area, or equip new gear. A loading screen pops up for everything
    -the game does not do a good job of acclimating new players to the different features, and things you can do. There are some things I just recently found out about (after playing for a month), such as all the different things Murch can do for you, like ordering specific gear items you like that you see players in the community area wearing, or scrubbing slots, or collecting ability chunks, etc. That's probably my fault for not going out of my way to talk to the NPCs, but I still wish there had been a more comprehensive tutorial available somewhere (maybe there is, I just have to go out of my way to find it, I have no idea. Most informative and useful things to know in this game you need to go out of your way to find out about, which is frustrating)
    -that freaking "talk show" that comes up EVERY time you turn the game back on, and is completely unskippable, wasting 45 second of my life on information that can me conveyed in three seconds, makes me want to rip my hair out. What the hell was Nintendo thinking when they made that unskippable, and why the hell has there not been an update allowing you to skip it after almost a year since the game was released?
    -there isn't an option to save replays of matches. The screenshot button allows you to record up to 30 seconds of footage, but there's no way I can know something awesome is going to happen before I start recording. Really wish they would include a replay feature.
    -I am not convinced it is conceivably possible to win a match if one of your team mates dips out last minute. One time I got stuck on a team of three and we made it within four percent of winning, but that is the closest I've ever seen it. Typically it's just a slaughter. It isn't as if their team has an edge over you, and you're simply fighting with the odds stacked against you. Nope. You're just done.
    -no split screen competition of coop. I'd love to play it with my wife, but we'd have to get a second Switch and a second copy of the game, which is a shame.

    All that being said, this is still some of the most straight up fun I've ever had with a game.

    Pros:
    -kids that are also squids
    -game mechanics are super unique
    -matches can be ridiculously tense
    -you play as kids, and squids
    -there may be a lack of modes, but the sheer amount of mileage you get out of such few modes is amazing
    -customization options are expansive, but it never feels as though other players have an unfair advantage over you because they have better gear
    -First I'm a kid, then I'm a squid, then I'm a kid, then I'm a squid
    -all of the control options feel good, whether I'm using joy cons, my pro controller, or handheld mode
    -no lootboxes, no paywalls, no "pay to win" features. You buy the game, you play the game, the end
    -so many colors
    -there are kids and there are squids and the kids are also squids

    Edit:
    I thought I might retroactively change my score, because I wrote this review back when I had only spent around 15 hours with this game and I original scored it with an 8. I now have spent over 300 hours playing this game, and I'd feel dishonest not giving any game that managed to steal 300 hours of my life away a perfect 10.    … Expand

So when Splatoon 2 was first announced, I was skeptical. However, Splatoon 2 didn't just manage to maintain the quality of the first game, it surpassed it even.

    The single player campaign now lets you use all weapon classes in the game, including new ones like the dualies and the brellas. All of them will be required to use at some point, which accommodated with great level design, makes you learn and appreciate all of the weapon classes. The single player doesn't just serve as a tutorial though, as it can become quite challenging as well. No level ever repeats itself, and it's full of charm and cool ideas. If more elaborate, it could even stand as its own game, so you definitely shouldn't go thinking it's just a tacked on mode. If you go for all the collectibles, it can even take quite some time to complete.

    The real meat of the game is the multiplayer, though. All of the modes from the first game return, with some changes made to the ranked modes to help them feel fresh. The maps these times are much more thought out than the ones from the initial release of Splatoon. They are created with all weapon classes and modes kept in mind, so no longer are there any map-specific bans for certain modes, like Rainmaker on Blackbelly Skatepark. Even the returning maps have been adjusted to be more playable competitively, with Moray Towers no longer being a charger heaven and Port Mackerel's general layout having been changed to no longer have Splash Walls dominate Tower Control on that map. Single-player mechanics like the inkrails and sponges have also been added to the multiplayer maps, making them even more dynamic and fun than in the first game.

    An entirely new mode called Salmon Run has been added as well, which has you team up with three people to take on a hoard of invading salmonids. What might seem easy initially can easily become very hard and require clever and coordinated team play. Weapons are randomly assigned here, so you have to know which role you should fulfill with the currently assigned weapon. This keeps things fresh, and also helps you to get good with weapons you normally would never use. Salmon Run feels very different from the regular multiplayer gameplay, and provides a different experience every time you play thanks to all the different events that can occur, like special salmonids appearing, fog limiting your view distance, or low and high tides changing the size of the battle field (just to name a few).

    Finally, there have been made some other smaller changes that are still very welcome, like you no longer having to watch the news when the maps rotate or having different ranks for the different modes of ranked battle. You can also play league battles (which are essentially ranked battles) with friends now without putting your rank on the line once you hit B- in any mode, which is a very welcome change from the first game, where you had to hit S rank to be able to play anything but Turf War a bit more casually.

    Splatoon 2 has greatly improved upon Splatoon 1, which was already a fantastic game to begin with, so I can safely say this game is nothing short of a 10/10, and if you own a Switch and are still thinking about getting this game, just do it. The price tag of $60 is a steal compared to the endless hours of fun you'll have with this game.    … 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 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]
