Customer Ratings & Reviews

Completely different then the other shooters out there. Not too much skill required for the multiplayer but the single player will take you some time to master. It's dumb fun and a great addition to the Switch library

Splatoon 2 is quite the addictive experience in that the gameplay is fairly simple, yet entirely immersive. The multiplayer sessions are quick and exciting. It's very easy to jump in to almost any online mode and connect with friends through the Switch. (The smartphone chat app, however, leaves me wanting something a bit more robust. I hope Nintendo responds to player feedback to better integrate it seamlessly down the road.) The various matches in this game are reminiscent of a real-world paintball war, but without the physical bruising, of course. The character and level designs are both artful and quirky, as they should be given the unique premise. I have to say, as someone who never played the first iteration, I'm really enjoying this.

Sequel to one of the most original mulitplayer games ever, this one seems to be the same level of fun and creativity. I love the single mode so far, first one had best final boss every so we'll see how this one is.

Splatoon is an absolutely fantastic IP, and Nintendo did it great justice with Splatoon 2. The single player is significantly longer than the first game, and much better. Salmon run is an amazing addition as well.

I never played the first splatoon, so I was nervous about picking this up. The controls take a minute to figure out, but it's really fun once you get the hang of it. Don't be afraid to buy it if you're a beginner!

If you liked the first Splatoon, then you'll love Splatoon 2. And being able to take it with you on the go (and if you're like me, using your mobile data hotspot to play online anywhere you are) is a game changer.

This game is fun. It’s a good introduction to a shooting type game without actual shooting. The characters shoot paint that splats. For a first timer it take awhile to get used to all of the control functions. It has a nice intro at the beginning that guides you through how the game basics work.

The single player mode is pretty fun, but online is really where it's at. There's a ton of game modes and a bunch of weapons and outfits to unlock for more boosts. There's always something new to try in online.

Awesome...if you liked the first one then get this. More fluid and more polished than the first game but still a unique online shooter for everyone to enjoy. My only complaint is no more 2-player split screen.

Splatoon 2 is amazing but even more amazing on the switch. Pick up and play online literally in seconds. I love playing in portable mode online bc I can take the console anywhere with wifi. Such a great game!

A fun, cool game that is as entertaining as it is energetic. The eye-popping colors and wide-ranging maps make this game a must have for friends and family. Another fine entry to the Nintendo Switch library.

This is a kid friendly shooter with the objective to "paint the floor" your teams color. 4v4 matches on a course that will remind you of a elaborate skate park makes this game a ton of fun for any age above 5. You can level up your clothing and there is a lot of paint gun options like a roller (think melee sword that splatters paint at close range) brushes, (fast and furious painting) sniper paint guns, automatic guns, shotgun style paint guns and more. Really a lot of fun. You can swim as a squid very fast in your own teams paint color, and even teleport to a teammate in a match. Great balance and dynamic courses make this a solid game for most any skill level. Totally worth it.

Whether you're playing competitively, cooperatively, or even single player mode, you'll be sure to have fun. Salmon run and Turf War are the highlights of this game, and even the single player campaign too.

Splatoon 2 is a wacky but fun game. I didn't play the first game so I can't compare but friends have said it's better. The multiplayer is where you'll spend most of your time. The weapons and super abilities are fun to use. It's a little frustrating to play with your friends but when you finally get together it's a blast

Fresh art direction, exciting and innovative shooter style gameplay with super fun mechanics. Plays great from anyone 6 to 60. I first played this in 2017 (bought it at Gamestop before I started using BestBuy), and recently bought it again as an XMas present this year. My most played game on Switch to this day and continue to play it a few times a week. The story mode is just "fine" in it, but acts as great tutorial if you're nervous to jump into the fantastic online play. You do need an Switch Online sub to play those modes, but it's welllll worth it. Either this or Fire Emblem 3 Houses are my favorite things on Switch.

I was a huge fan of the original Splatoon on the Wii U, so I was excited for the sequel. For the most part, Splatoon 2 is much like the original which is a good thing. The core mechanics of the game is very addictive. I love Turf War because it's fun, fast paced and short so you can get a few action packed game matches in. It is great to relive stress. The sequel has new modes which spices up the formula a bit. The only downside is that I wished Nintendo would allow offline Turf War with bots, this would make it great for a mobile device like the switch where if you're not near WIFI (long car ride) you can still enjoy its best mode. I hope Nintendo will listen to its fans and update the game to have offline bots.

My kids love playing this game and it's better than the original Splatoon. There are more maps, graphics are nicer, and best of all they can play it anywhere in the house, they don't need the tv to play.

Every other shooter on the planet looks and feels the same compared to this. Everyone else is pushing the boundaries of graphics an gore, but Nintendo innovates. There is more than meets the eye here. Contrary to other reviews, this is not just about painting the floor; "splatting" opponents is critical to winning. The way you move around, swimming through your own color of ink, makes this game very unique. It may look like a kids game, but the look is intentional as part of the way the game simultaneously mocks and celebrates pop culture, fashion, and social media. My only complaint is that the single player mode (especially the final boss) is not as good as the first game. Absolutely you should buy this game.

A different type of multiplayer experience with unique weapons. Lots of fun, works decent as a console FPS, coming from a PC gamer. Good art style and graphics, frames per second are good as well.

A fantastic sequel to the original that adds a new single player experience that is different to the first game and a robust multiplayer experience with new maps, weapons, and outfits! Would Recommend!!!
