Customer Ratings & Reviews

Splatoon 2 offers enough variety and new gameplay components to make this sequel a worthy purchase for any Switch owner. Salmon Run is a challenging and exciting team-based horde mode, online matches are fast-paced and cycle through two new stages every other hour, and there's tons of gear and weaponry to arm your Inkling with. The story mode adds some new gameplay mechanics not present in the original Splatoon, though a few of the bosses and level motifs are remixes from the original and thus do not stand quite as strong as the rest of the game's offerings. If you missed out on the original Wii U game, Splatoon 2 is a perfect entry point to the wacky ink-based shooter. If you played through every Splatfest in the original game, there's still plenty of fresh content that makes this sequel worth the purchase.

This is a feature rich sequel with new modes, stages, and weapons. Easily the most addictive multiplayer game Nintendo has released this year!

I played Splatoon on and off, and really enjoyed it. Splatoon 2 has been an improvement all around. Salmon Run is pretty fun and very challenging. When Turf War gets a bit stale I like to pop in there and try to survive. Ranked offers three different ways to play and allows you to experiment with different weapons. Splatoon 2 is my go-to game to kill off some steam after work. It doesn't feel like I have to make such a big time commitment like other games. I definitely recommend using a wired connection. It makes for peace of mind.

1 of the best shooters on the Switch. This game is lots of fun and is rated for kids. Lots of content online and offline.

I'm in love with this game. I've been wrestling with myself since it came out with whether I should get it or not. I'm not super into shooter games or online games to be honest. They're just not for me. But I got this on a whim and it's been in my top play list every time! I really enjoy the graphics and it's nice to play a few quick games on some down time. Only thing, you need to have good WiFi to play. I have bad WiFi sometimes so I can't play like I like to. And sometimes I'll get kicked out. Not the game's fault though.

While looking much like the original Splatoon, the sequel has a more fleshed out single player campaign and an even more robust multiplayer.

Splatoon 2 is a lot fun to play. Even though it is not that much different from Splatoon my kids enjoyed the game very much. I'm giving it a 4 instead of a 5 because the price seems too high for a game that is not much different.

This game truly amazed me. My son and I play it together and have a blast. Unfortunately you need two separate switch consoles to be able to play together, but luckily that wasn't a problem with us. Buy it! huge community and very fun maps where you'll play against tons of people. I love the unique idea of using paint as a weapon. the goal isn't to just simply kill the other team, the goal is to cover the entire map in your teams color.. and kill the other team. at the end it calculates how much is covered and declares a winner..

Great game and better than the original. I wish they had left split screen player v player though. Still great fun and new mode is a blast.

If youre are buying for kids. It's an innocent enough shooter w squid kids playing with squirt guns and water balloons. Communication is limited to friends only gated via app so you can control who your kid is communicating with if at all. If you're an adult it's easy to learn and has a deep multiplayer. SP campaign is fun and you can bring SP unlocks into MP. COOP Horde mode isn't tact on. It's a pleasant surprise, offers a fun challenge and changes often. There's plenty of in-game guides and the guide offers a helpful resource.

Tons of fun. Great online play and a deep long single player campaign as well. If you liked this first one you'll love this one for sure!

I bought this when Best Buy had it on sale, if I had known how good it was, I probably would have bought it at full price earlier. A word of caution (especially if you have young kids) it's VERY addictive, it's so easy to just play for hours. It's a ton of fun, but if you have tiny people you might want to make sure they aren't playing it under their covers after their bed time, not that an adult like me would know anything about staying up too late playing a game that I thought was just for kids. ;)

I had never played splatoon before this one and was skeptical because all I heard was great things. I now have over 200 hours in and I love every second. It’s addicitng and such a breath of fresh air compared to any other shooter. It’s casual to pick up and just paint the ground in turf war with 3 minute matches. Then play ranked and out comes your competitive side and it’s a whole new game with new game modes. The story is not great. Not bad either. I’d say it’s a really good tutorial with some fun to be had.

I never got around to playing the original Splatoon on the Wii U. I bought it for my son but did not play it myself. I can tell you right now that Splatoon 2 is worth a purchase. Heck, I have 3 copies, 1 for each kid and 1 for myself. We love to play Salmon Run together and my daughter and I play League Battles in pairs. We have an amazing time playing together. My daughter is not a huge gamer and she has put in over 55 hours into this game herself. I can't stress enough how fun this game is. Do yourself a favor and buy it!

This is a great game as an alternative from the standard first person arena shooters out there. This is super kid friendly. The characters are cartoony and its main objective is to paint as much of the arena in your team's color as possible and less on "splatting" your adversaries. You do need a good wifi connection if you are going to play as you get temporary bans from playing if you drop out of a match intentionally or not. There's lots to unlock and customize and should keep you busy for a while. good game!

Wonderful game, smooth graphics, tons of fun. It was extremely easy to pick up and play, but challenging enough to keep it interesting.

Splatoon 2 is a great unique game from Nintendo. As you can tell by the 2, this is a sequel but no one really got to play the original because it was on the Wii U and we all know how that went. This game is a unique take on online shooter as it is kid frinedly if you think of how to do that! They have a mode called Turf War and it is a game where you fight over territory but instead of killing, you cover the ground with ink and try to cover the most over 3 minutes. This game is awesome and I can recommend it for all ages.

I've never played splatoon before this game, and I've really enjoyed playing splatoon 2. It was easy to learn and lots of fun to play.

This game is a blast for me and my son to play. Lots of options and the mechanics are great. Easy to pickup and learn how to play.

This game lived up to the hype and as good or even better than the first one. The colors and graphics are amazing and the little details are great. Easy to play and learn, lots to build up for and work towards to play this for many weeks and months. Add the family or friends and the battles are endless fun. Painting the town and defending your side while blowing up other characters in a fun cartoon like way is nice for the kids and not violent at all. My 5 year old loves it and plays with me on his switch all he time.
