    Love the franchise but still needs improvements

    I’ve been playing Splatoon as a series since the first game. This game brings some newness to the franchise but as it is still early in the game’s life cycle there are still bugs, and balance patches being worked out. Splatoon 3 is a very fun addictive games especially if you have friends who also wanna battle it out in the Splatlands. There is a pretty awesome single player mode too if you enjoy lore. Currently we are getting updates pretty regularly so it’s up to you if you wanna give this game series a try. Maybe look up videos on YouTube to see if you will be interested? Multiple player modes include: -Casual: Turf War -Ranked: Tower Control, Rainmaker, Splat Zones, & Clam Blitz. -Salmon Run: 4 player team faces off against a bunch of salmon AI to beat 3 waves (and sometimes a special 4th wave with a HUGE CHUNKY boss) We also get special 2 day events called Splatfest & Big Run (which is a more competitive Salmon Run mode). The game is fun but it can be frustrating sometimes too. Would I recommend getting this game? Yes and No. If you like shooters as a genre then yes. If you don’t then no, this is probably not a game you will gravitate too but never say never ;)

    Splatoon!!

    This is my favorite Nintendo IP, and this game is the best of the series so far. It has an excellent single player, and an even better multi-player. It is super fun for mind-numbing color painting antics.

    Such a fun game!

    My 7yr old and I loooooove this game. Since we bought it about 10 months ago, we play every single day. It’s such a fun, competitive game. It never gets boring.
