Customer Ratings & Reviews

We own a few switches and got three copies of this. The kids and I have been playing this almost non stop together for days now. I can safely say from their delighted cheers and boos when they lose, that they are loving every minute. Its fun, clean, and kid friendly. Highly recommended!

Splatoon 2 builds upon the success of the first game and actually changes quite a few things in terms of abilities and how a few things work, getting rid of all previous specials in favor of more team-oriented ones that don't make you invincible, which is overall a good thing. The game still plays the same in many ways, but being portable on the switch and the small changes that were made leads to it feeling pretty worth it to me.

Like the title of the review says, this is a definite "must buy" for Switch owners. It's got so much more content and feels slightly more refined than the first Splatoon. If you liked the first or are considering picking this up, don't hesitate, just do it! You'll have a blast, I promise!

My son and I have been playing the heck out of this game. The best way I can describe it is call of duty but with paint. The game is super kid friendly and has tons of options to upgrade your paint guns, clothes, etc. This is no doubt a one of a kind game and I highly recommend it.

I played the original and thought it was a good game but it just didn't match up with how good I thought it could have been. This sequel is significantly more fun. So much so that my wife and I bought a second Switch and a second copy of the game so that we can play it online together

This is a fun way to introduce your young kids to shooting games. I know some parents are concerned about blood and guts. Buy your kids this game and it'll provide them with hours of fun game play. Adults will also enjoy it but may get bored of the cartoon graphics.

Splatoon 2 hits all the right spots the first game did and then some. Salmon Run is a difficult, yet welcome addition to the team, and much needed balances were made and now we're no logner living in the world of roller meta! If you loved splatoon 1, I'd highly recommend this game

Splatoon 2 is the follow up to one of the few bright spots from Nintendo's ill-fated Wii U. The sequel takes the approach "if it ain't broke don't fix it". I find it just as fun as the first, that being said the not "fixing" it does have a down side. They still haven't fix some of the issues people had with the first game, like MAP rotations. But overall it's a nice addition to the ever growing Nintendo Switch library

Splatoon 2's biggest feature is it's variety from everything else on Switch, The story mode is extremely boring and repetitive but the online play is enough to be able to pick up and play once in awhile. The game is gorgeous overall but wouldn't recommend buying unless it's on sale.

A lot of times people are afraid of getting in mulit player online, feeling they wont know what to do. But Splatoon 2 handles this well with a small story line to get you accustomed to all weapons and teaching you steps to get the most of your game and when you get on line and start a game it just feels like you known how to play all the time. This is one of those games that will stay with you as long as you have the Switch.

Overall, Splatoon 2 takes a lot from Splatoon. The campaign is very similar, though you can finally play through every level with all types of weapons without needing amiibo. The multiplayer is the same great Splatoon from the Wii U. Entirely new (and better balanced) supers, some fun new weapons, and a handful of new stages help add some life. Though the pool still feels limited as of now. My favorite new feature is the Salmon Run though. It's a horde mode where four inklings face off against a bunch of salmon, trying to collect golden eggs. There's no competition with your fellow player here. It's cooperate or die. You aren't allowed to choose your weapons, instead being given one of four preselected weapons randomly. Which works out better than it sounds. There's a nice variety of enemies in this mode. But some strange choices on Nintendo's part really hurts it. You can't play it whenever you want, instead forced into specific time slots that chance constantly. You can't even try it solo for fun. And, as of now, there only seem to be two maps available. I love the mode and it's my favorite part of the game. But without some changes and support for it, it's something that'll likely get boring fairly quickly. Overall, with Salmon Run not being fleshed out more and limited in terms of availability, the game does feel quite a bit like Splatoon 1.5 for all the good and bad that comes with. Hopefully we'll get more support for it as time goes on. If you're looking for a fun shooter and/or skipped out on Splatoon/the Wii U, I'd give this one a look at least.

This game is fun to play. Never played wii u version but this one is a blast. Downside of this game is it only have online multiplayer, no offline game for salmon run. And last you might get ban / blocked if you have bad internet connection which keeps disconnects your online game.

Splatoon 2 is a very unique shooter in that you use ink instead of ammunition. The main goal of the game is to ink more turf than your opponents before the timer runs out. It is family friendly and involves a lot of team strategy and has a large variety of weapons to choose from.

Splatoon 2 is one of the funnest games to play on the Switch. Whether you play it single player or multiplayer, you will have a BLAST with this game. Fun characters and gameplay and a pretty cool back story. It is one of those games that holds up well and still gets played 2 years later. Hoping there will be a Splatoon 3 to continue the fun.

I was a bit nervous about this game as it is played in an online community. There is no communication between players so there for there is no foul language that little kids do not need to hear. My son is constantly looking to level up, so he is not bored with this game.

This game is fantastic. I find myself playing it whenever I have a few spare moments. The shorter match lengths keeps the pacing frantic and the action constant. Nintendo still has a lot of work to do regarding the chat function. Using your phone via a clunky wire setup is awful.

Splatoon 2 is an amazing, addicting online 4 v 4 shooter. It's eaily one of the most refreshing online shooters I've played in years. The gameplay is unparalleled and the motion assisted aiming allows for quick, easy aiming and precision. The content right now, shortly after launch, is just a little light. It's not as bad as the first game in the series was at launch, but it's not as good as the first game was after all the updates. However with free updates already on their way and rolling out over the next year, I have no doubt that by the end of the year it'll be packed with content and fully worth the money you pay for it. I'd give the game an 8/10, which may seem like a low score considering the praise I have for the game, but the addicting and flawless gameplay is bogged down by some quality of life issues. Things like not being able to change weapons in the lobby, being forced to listen to the map selection every time you load up, map rotations including just two maps and being stuck with those every two hours, making no attempt to reconnect you after the slightest internet trouble, punishing your score (in some ways) even when a team member disconnected mid-match making it 3 v 4 . . . and many other things. It's surprising how many of the little things add up to really ruin the experience. I still absolutely love the game and I'd give the gameplay the highest recommendation I could possibly give it, but the game itself has its issues. It's definitely worth playing, but I can't bring myself to score it higher than an 8/10.

It's everything the original was but better. Nintendo has learned a lot and made significant changes. Almost all the special abilities from splatoon 1 have been replaced with new ones. The game now feels tighter and more team based with less emphasis on getting splats (kills). You'll do much better working together than trying to be a one man army. New modes like league battles let you team up with friends. Salmon run is horde mode co-op for rewards. There's an online app that shows the upcoming schedule for battles, shows your stats, and even let's you shop for gear online for your inkling. Voice chat is now an option (but Is unfortunately complex). It also has a single player campaign revolving around the disappearance of Callie from splatoon 1. Last but not least, at least two years of splatfests. This is easily one of the best games available for the switch. If you like multiplayer shooters and you're a Nintendo fan, this is as good as it gets.

ahhh see what I did there? .... Anyway, this game is so much fun and addicting, the new added Salmon Runs are fun to do and give you the chance to earn more gear. The motion controls take a while to get used to, but once you get the hang you'll enjoy the game much more.

The story mode is okay and rather repetitive. This game is all about the online multiplayer, which is addictive and an absolute blast to play. 4 on 4 games only take a few minutes to play each round. You can spend a few minutes or a few hours in a game session....your choice.
