Customer Ratings & Reviews

At the beginning I didn't know that I had to link an account in order to have access to all game modes. My boys like the battle mode. It is easy to play. My sons ages are eight and six.

Excellent game for all ages. Very fun! New and open maps, love the weapons. It's a must to play online

Really fun game. You can't play split screen which is my only complaint. But the game itself is great.

The game is more of the same, but it's still amazing. The solo game play is vastly improved - allowing you more than one weapon choice, and more fun mechanics. Turf Wars is the same as always, made fun by new weapons, abilities, and specials. Don't forget Salmon Run! Splatoon 2's new limited time PVE that's addictingly fun and offers lots of extra prizes. My only complaint is that it's still difficult to team up with friends in Turf Wars.

The original Splatoon on Wii U was one of the best games for that system. This sequal manages to be better than its predecessor with improved gameplay mechanics all-around, noticably better graphics (put the two games side-by-side and there are slight improvements), a great soundtrack, and easily more content than the first game. Presentation is great all-around. Best multiplayer game on Nintendo Switch besides Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Fans of shooters from other platforms should really take the time to check this NS exclusive out and give it a try. Overall, a great game worth getting for anyone who wants years worth of great, multiplayer fun!

Splatoon 2 is more of what the first was and it excels at being flat-out fun. Better balancing, tighter maps for more intense combat, Splatoon 2 is a no-brainer for anyone who owns the Switch and enjoys competitive games. The only issues with the game is lack of voice chat or better ways to play with friends which sadly are focused on the Switch itself and not a reflection of the game. Still, for what it is it's definitely a blast.

Action packed game with great graphics. Very fun and easy to play.

I like the first game, but this second sequel is much more improved, more weapons, better game play, faster load times. if U liked the first one U will like this one even more

Splatoon 2 takes the tight, fun gameplay of the original and expands upon it in this sequel. My only gripe is that particular modes like Salmon Run are locked behind certain hours.

Absolutely fantastic game it's bright colorful and very well done turf wars painting the floor is absolutely addicting but it can get a little stale as there is only 8 maps right now with more to come and that all wouldn't be to bad if the map rotation wasn't a thing. How it works is every 2 hours the maps change and you can only play the same 2 maps for that 2 hour block and almost always ends with playing the same map over and over. There really isn't a good way to do voice chat with this game which I don't mind as much as some do but I fell like you'd either be talking to a lot of minors or a lot of cussing so it's probably for the best.

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!

The first was great and the second is even better. Love the new play fields, challenges, and guns.

This is one of our favorites. so much so that we "HAD" to buy a second switch and game so we could play together lol..... whoch brings me to a negative point. the lack of multi player options. this is a HUGE negative! if money is tight and you want two players, do not get this game. with that said. my wife has a switch and now I do too. we both have this game and its a TON of fun to play online together. but its costly fun.

I have never been much into online games like Call of Duty, mostly because I suck at them. Every time I tried to play, I got hit really quickly and died. That being said, I had no reservations about buying Splatoon 2 for Nintendo Switch because I know its a Nintendo game, and thus, it'll be easily accessible for everyone, regardless of experience. So far, I haven't been disappointed. It's fun to play online because the main aim of one of the game modes is to cover as much of the field as possible in your team's paint. You don't even really need to try to aim at other players-- you can just paint all the walls and floors and still be successful. That being said, I often find myself going against players of the opposing teams and managing to beat them anyway, which helps me feel like I'm not that bad at the game. It helps that there are a TON of weapon types available, so you can find a play style that suits you best. I use a paint roller, which is almost like a melee weapon. It can do well in short range situations, but I can jump and shoot paint at an enemy and splat them in one hit, if need be. Another cool option is the different gear you can equip your character with. Each of it has different stats and effects that unlock the more you play the game, which is a good incentive to get just one more match in. I think this is a good game to buy for the Nintendo Switch sooner rather than later because Nintendo is not charging for their online services yet. They will in 2018, if I believe, but for right now it is free to play online as long as you have WiFi of some sort.

This game is hours of fun great way to make platoon friends on line great graphics easy to play

Lots of enjoyment, I had fun playing this with my friends online compared to other Switch games.

If you were a fan of the first Splatoon then you will LOVE the sequel. Lots of improvements to the single-player experience as well as new weapons and modes for use in multiplayer. The rounds only last around 5 mins so it's super easy to pick up and play for just a little while but the addictive gameplay will have you saying to yourself "just one more round." My biggest complaint: No split-screen play for local multiplayer. It's unfortunate that the developer couldn't figure out how to offer this to players this time around. It's still a very worthwhile addition to your Switch game library, however.

The game seems fun enough so far but there are a lot of things to do which is good but since Nintendo is going to the subscription thing like ps4 & other consoles it kind of sucks. Too much to do means more subscription time and more $ spent on subscription fees. Idk if this game alone is worth it. Besides that it's a decent take on an fps and fun to play with friends. Couch play would be nice and it sucks you need a separate switch and separate game (and soon a separate subscription) just to play with friends. Nintendo was the only one really hanging on to this way of gaming (couch) but now it's the beginning of the end.

I loved the first Splatoon and was really excited to play the sequel. It's a great game, and I play it with my friends all the time. The only problem is there's no splitscreen/couch co-op. I was hoping they'd work that into the sequel so I could play with my local friends and family. But that's personal preference, so I didn't dock a star. As a strictly online multiplayer, it's still a lot of fun.

There's a lot to like about Splatoon 2. It offers the same fun and addicting gameplay as the first game, but with new weapons, specials, gear, maps, and even some new modes. This is a game that is heavily focused on online play, so you'll only get as much out of it if those are the aspects that interest you. Matchmaking can be hit or miss, though. The horde mode is a very welcome addition, and I find I sink the most amount of time into it. Overall, I'd say this is the better game in comparison to the first one, though my experience with the netcode was much more positive in the original Splatoon.
