Customer Ratings & Reviews

Probably one of the best games out for the switch thus far. And the fact that you can take this anywhere and just play is amazing! The multiplayer online is what is good about this game, everything else is just ok.

While Splatoon is not a traditional shooter game in the sense of other games such as Call of Duty or Halo, it provides a unique experience as you shoot paint to claim territory and transform into a squid. The games mechanics are phenomenal and fresh and the kids certainly love it. An online membership is required to play, but for the price of a few dollars a month, this game is well-worth it.

Although this game makes it pretty clear that it's heavily focused on the main Meat "The Multiplayer". And encourages you to play online multiplayer. So you can invest in that Exquisite #NintendoOnline Membership. Multiplayer is a blast especially if you can join with some of your comrades in a voice call. "With highly intensive n' explosive battles". Has tons a variety and there's a lot of value. However as shown it's not that great when it comes to the single player department (offline). Lacking in the level design is a bit too basic for my taste and is relatively on the short end. But hey there's a cool $20 expansion that's apparently neat and addresses theses issues. Yay! :3

This review is based on the kids’ reaction and affinity to the game. Both my 7 and 10 year old boys love this game, often taking turns to play the online co-op rounds. The graphics are awesome and the concept (the characters are all squids) is mild and fun in nature unlike the popular xbox/playstation RPG games. Highly recommend it to switch owners but the only downside is that two players cannot play simultaneously (kids tell me u can on the Wii-U consoles with the original Splatoon).

This game is one of my favorite of all time. This game really rewards team work and knowledge of the game. That said, you won't find too much team work in the random lobbies you join. This is also a Nintendo online game and their online service is probably the worst, I really don't think it's gotten any better since the Wii days. The game is still amazingly fun though for matches in short bursts whenever you have free time. Near 300 hours of played time on this title.

The second installment in the Splatoon series offers many new weapons, abilities, and clothing to battle in. The Splatfests offer a new fun competitive theme every month or so. A blast to play!

Nintendo still doesn't know how to do online for whatever reason so playing online can be frustrating when you're trying to play in a group with your friends and have trouble joining each other. There's also no way to change your load out between games without quitting out back to what is essentially the main menu which adds to how certain items in game feel imbalanaced. The newcaster thing every day and every time your launch the game that tells you which maps are available at the time is also too long and annoying. Also, for whatever reason, Nintendo decided you can only play modes like salmon run online at certain predesignated times. However, after all is said and done, the game is still pretty fun and a nice time filler.

Splatoon 2 is an addicting third person shooter. It has unique and engaging game modes that allow for both co-operative play as well as competitive. All of which use Nintendo's bright and vibrant color palette to render the game world. The controls (please, use motion controls!) make playing the game a breeze, whether in handheld, split joy-con or on the pro controller. If you're in pursuit of something to keep you occupied until Super Mario Galaxy and beyond, give this one a go.

This game is very kid friendly and age appropriate. The characters are very colorful and engaging!

Having thoroughly enjoying the first Splatoon, I knew this game was going to be a 'hit'. As good as the original was/is, Splatoon 2 is better. Obviously the greater power of the Switch is a contributor, but beyond the hardware, Splatoon 2 brings more content in every game mode. It's also one of the games that can be played via the Switch's LAN functionality. In short, whether an old fan or new, I very much consider this a 'must have' title for the Nintendo Switch.

Pros: it's fun to play. Kids can pick it up pretty easy. It's a different take on the shooter genere than I'm used to. Cons:no offline against bots, you have to play online to earn cash and rank up.

This game is very fun to play and the kids love it! New battle maps and weapons also make this game fresh and fun.

The game is very fun. it exceeded my expectation in every way. the game plays very smooth on the switch. some frame drop at times but still enjoyable. There are a lot of customization in this game. there is also a single player, but the main attraction is the online multiplayer. It takes a few learning curve for this game if you want to be good at it and play competitively.

A very fun game. Good gameplay. Colorful. Hours of fun!

I got this for my daughter for Christmas. It's a fun game that has all the thrills of an FPS without the violence. She picked it up and was ready to go after just a few minutes.

Pros: the matches are short but satisfying; the way they cycle the maps allows you to quickly learn them within just a few sessions; plenty of weapon and outfit variety means there are always new ways to play so it stays fresh; splatting opponents is satisfying of course, but so is inking over the turf they just inked; it's a lighthearted and fun game with clear competitive possibilities. Cons: Online functions are still VERY protective compared to other platforms, making it harder to make friends online than on Xbox, Playstation, and Steam; Matchmaking can be horribly unbalanced at times (i.e. all the Lv. 27+'s ending up on one team with Lv.'s 2, 4, 6, and 10 on the other side)

My 9 yr old son loves it! He said you can level up and get better guns. The rainmaker is his favorite part.

We love this game in our house. The color blasting is lots of fun, kind of like tag, but with colors instead. You can play offline, but online is so much better, which requires Nintendo Switch Online. The controls are terrific and the game becomes very addicting. Fun for younger players too!

Really fun game. Expands on the high points of the first game and adds some fun new maps weapons, and gear.

I love the the game's colors and ability to customize your player with a whole range of headgear, tops and shoes. The graphics are slick and the soundtrack is fun. I really appreciate how the game developers continue to invest in this game by hosting Splatfests and introducing new weapons and stages. I got my siblings and friends hooked on Splatoon 2. Playing others can sometimes be frenetic, but that is what makes it fun!
