Customer Ratings & Reviews

I like that this game allows you to play online multiplayer and feel like you are contributing to your teams work even if you do not "splat" the most enemies. The game has lots of character customization and allows the player a varying experience of online maps and modes. The game does have some flaws in my opinion: 1) Can sometimes be difficult to join friends, 2) No built in game chat, 3) Some game types only available at certain times. Overall, I think it would be hard to dislike this game.

I enjoyed this game a lot. It is very easy to learn and fun.

Had some hesitations that it wouldn't quite feel like a big step up from the first game. But I was happily mistaken. The main campaign kept me entertained and made me use the assortment of weapons in interesting ways. The boss fights are top notch. The multiplayer is just as good as the original and the splatfests will keep you coming back.

Splattoon 2 is a fun game that uses basic shooter mechanics, but introduces new and different objectives that breathes life into the genre. It's a fun competitive game, but not so daunting that casuals won't enjoy it either. One of the game's best features is Salmon Run, a player vs enemy co-op game mode that is highly addicting.

Honestly way better than the first. Fun and splat to go!

Despite my score, I will say this game is a ton of fun. However, there are a few things holding it back. The biggest issue for me is the lack of local split screen that you can take online. Additionally, some modes get locked away due to the cycling of maps and modes. All that being said, the core gameplay is fun, and if you plan on just playing with friends online, I'd recommend this game.

This is a great game. It's really fun to play. It plays well on the Switch as well. My friends are totally envious that I bought this game since they want it too. Everyone should get the game and play it. Nintendo never lets us game players down. I'm glad I got it!

I was looking for a fun shooter game that I could enjoy with my friends (grew up playing Goldeneye and Perfect Dark on N64), but also would be fun for my daughter and I to play together. I knew this is a popular series so I thought it would be perfect. It's definitely a game that was fun for my friends and I, but not something we could play for hours on end. My daughter liked it, but I think she was getting a little frustrated, hopefully it's a game she will grow with.

Splatoon 2 is tons of fun, however the difference from the sequel and the original are limited. Salmon Run is great, but is only available during limited times. As for the main splat and ranked modes, there are no new gameplay modes which is unfortunate. matchmaking with friends is botched as voicechat is tied to private matches only and there is no efficient way to join a friend's team. don't get me wrong the game is great, but it learned nothing from it's social connectivity issues from the past.

I purchased this game after hearing all of the great things about the original Splatoon and was curious to see what the hype was about. I have to say after getting comfortable with the controls that this game is super fun and highly addicting! Nintendo outdid themselves with this game. Now if only they can get the voice chat right!

We own the original Splatoon on the WiiU and my kids played the heck out of it. Splatoon 2 is more and better of the same, and the addition of Salmon Run mode makes the game that much more fun. As a 3rd person "shooter" the ink "weapons" are fun and appropriate for younger audiences. My 14 yr old and 7 yr old really enjoy the game.

Listen, 31 year old talking here. This game might look "kiddie" but its a lot of fun! Matches are quick, I havent had any connection problems. Local multiplayer on the Switch screen or tv is really fun. Glad Nintendo knows how to keep local multiplayer a thing. I honestly couldnt care less about talking to people online though so the voice chat setup doesnt bother me. Docked a star because I could see myself losing interest if Nintendo doesnt keep the game fresh with content....which I hear they will.

My son has the Nintendo Switch and I didn't think we would be buying any more games this soon after purchasing. He enjoyed playing Splatoon on his other console and thought this may be to similar to what he already had. Well I was wrong. He has been playing and enjoying this game very much. Would recommend for kids his age group - 11.

Did you like the first Splatoon? This is like Premium Splatoon so its a must-try for any fans out there considering buying this. If you´re new to Splatoon, ask yourself this: Do you enjoy/are capable of playing online multiplayer? Do you appreciate creative and fun graphics? If so, I highly recommend this game. Its a fun time, I swear.

It is very hard for me to put down my switch to begin with. Now with a platoon I start having separation issues like a mother with her first new born after a day without playing. This game has an interesting twist on the fps genre with that special Nintendo magic. Highly recommended for the competitive gamer and even the casual gamers.

This game is a fantastic example of the quality IP's that Nintendo can crank out at any given time. The gameplay and motion controls are second to none. This game also offers a safe haven for those who refuse to play online shooters because of social anxiety and competitiveness. The Nintendo community will always welcome any newcomers.

-Easy to get the hang of -Colorful -Play w/ friends

I never played the first Splatoon game but this game is fun. Salmon run is a nice twist and fun to play with a group of friends. If you don't have enough for 4 players you can open the room and have random people play with you. However you need the Internet to play unless you want to play story mode. Game is single player. Also when you play online with friends you need to have 4 people in your group to be together. If you join your friends game there is a chance you might be on different teams.

Just as good as the first Splatoon, if not better! The solo mode is super fun, as well as the addition of salmon run makes it much improved. My only gripe would be that it is a little hard to pair up with friends. The option is available, but it's not a guarantee.

A must have for the Switch. Fast, fun, and full of life. I never played the first because of the terrible Wii U but my friends loved it so thought I'd give this a go. I'm addicted. Haven't stopped playing since release day. My fiancée is addicted as well, and neither of us are huge multiplayer gamers! Props to Nintendo for this gem.
