Customer Ratings & Reviews

Even in 2020 still a great multiplayer game. Just know you need online subscription

I played the the first game but didn't really enjoy it. The sequel is great though and I highly recommend it!

Kids love it. Perfect game to showcase the switch. Recommend this and Zelda. Two must buys for the switch

Plan to play for a couple minutes at a time but it seemlessly spent hours playing. Great game for new comers

Splatoon 2 is the Switch's best multiplayer game and a solid addition to the already sprawling list of games for it's new home/hybrid console. Some of you may see my score and wonder why 2 stars? I will explain shortly. Splatoon 2 is a solid game both in handheld and in docked mode. I prefer playing it in docked mode with a pro controller as I believe it is the superior way to play it. What drags the game down is Nintendo's lack of coherent game design for a primarily multiplayer game. No custom loadouts, actually that is incorrect. There are custom loadouts but you need to purchase Splatoon 2 amiibos to make use of them which is a nickel and dime scheme by Nintendo through and through. One of the funnest game modes called Salmon Run (thinks Gears horde mode) is very enjoyable but it isn't always available. It's only available at select times during the week. Why Nintendo decided to do this I have no idea. It's very disappointing because the core gameplay loop is very good and the core concept is novel for multiplayer shooters. In a world in which you have to "kill" your opponent Splatoon 2 focuses on literally shooting a paintgun to cover an area. Which ever team covers the most land mass wins. But the design decisions made by Nintendo are archaic and not of 2017.

Great game to play with friends. Very colorful and the teams are fun. My 9 year old loves this game.

Kids love it. Got it for Christmas and they were super excited to play.

One of the best games on Switch. An instant classic and fun with friends.

My only complaint about this game is that it needs split screen 2 player mode. That alone increases replay value for me because I don't have to connect to a network just to play with a friend.

Bought for my teenage son for Christmas. Cool graphics and it's a lot of fun to play.

My son and I love this game! We have had my nephew over and he loves it just as much splatoon is awesome!

Purchased for my child...... don't really know how the game system works, but he seems to be enjoying it.

bought as a gift for my nephew who was a huge fan of the first game, he seems to thoroughly enjoy the game.

My grandson and son have really enjoyed this. I thought it would play out after a few minutes but it didn't.

Really fun 3rd person shooter with great mechanics and gameplay. The game is held back by the limitations of the online abilities of the Switch. The "Horde" "Tower Defense" mode called Salmon Run is a really fun mode, but without being able to communicate with your paired teammates can get frustrating with no communication. The matchmaking heavily favors some weapons that can only be unlocked once reaching a certain level, which can get really aggravating when you keep being killed by a specific over powered weapon that you have no access to.

Great game similar to the first version. must get for the Switch. The kids love it. Only one player locally.

This game is even more amazing than its predecessor. The entire family enjoys watching and playing together.

very easy to play. my grandson is only 4 and manage to play this game with little assistance.

This is a fun online multiplayer game. However the single mode isn't very good. It's addicting though lol.

Very fun game for the switch and they keep it elevenat with new updates and events in game all the time!
