Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought this for my nephew as a birthday gift and he loves the game. It's pretty fast paced and colorful which keeps him engaged during play both on and offline. Fun songs to listen to while playing as well, which he loves.

It's a great sequel to an already great game. Totally safe for kids and fun for people older like me. Gameplay is simple.......color color color. Single player game can get a bit boring but the bosses are fun and challenging to fight. Then again, it's all about the multiplayer.

Splatoon is a family friendly shooter series where the characters paint the ground to see who covers the most of the map within the time limit. The second entry is a lot like the first with new gear, maps, and modes to enjoy. Salmon run is basically a new survival horde mode. Great game but single player options are short and there is still no split screen offline 4 player mode, not even with the Switch docked. 8/10

I purchased this game for my kids (8&13). I play it as well. It’s a very fun paintball themed game. My only complaint is that it’s really a 1 person game. There’s no multiplayer split screen play so my kids cannot play together. It’s only multiplayer online or if someone has another Switch with this game. Very fun and addicting as you gain experience points to purchase better weapons though. I do recommend it.

The story mode is okay and rather repetitive. This game is all about the online multiplayer, which is addictive and an absolute blast to play. 4 on 4 games only take a few minutes to play each round. You can spend a few minutes or a few hours in a game session....your choice.

This is a wonderful series for those who like on line shooters but do not want to encourage violence or have their kids see gore. The multiplayer matches are short (3 minutes) but competitive. Even brand new players make essential contributions and teamwork is essential.

ahhh see what I did there? .... Anyway, this game is so much fun and addicting, the new added Salmon Runs are fun to do and give you the chance to earn more gear. The motion controls take a while to get used to, but once you get the hang you'll enjoy the game much more.

Nintendo has innovated yet again with Splatoon 2. The game has a thriving online multiplayer and even has a story mode for those who like to play solo. Main objective isn't actually attacking other players, but marking more territory than your opponents.

I wasn't going to get this game at first but something changed my mind and I am really happy with this game. It has Single player, PVE and PVP modes. PVP is definitely the highlight of this game. Match matching is pretty fast and the server is very stable. Great game overall!

Splatoon 2 is one of the funnest games to play on the Switch. Whether you play it single player or multiplayer, you will have a BLAST with this game. Fun characters and gameplay and a pretty cool back story. It is one of those games that holds up well and still gets played 2 years later. Hoping there will be a Splatoon 3 to continue the fun.

Call me whatever you will but this game is fun. I never played original but enjoy the sequel

Building upon the surprise success of the original, Splatoon 2 adds a high intensity co-op mode on top of a full single player adventure and unranked and ranked multiplayer modes. The upgrade to the Switch hardware is apparent in smoother motion and even more vibrant paint!

My favorite thing about the Splatoon games is their sense of style. The aesthetic of the world, the characters and the music are just so colorful and quirky. Unfortunately, the game leaves much to be desired and feels more like a "My First Shooter" experience, rather than a full-priced, $60 game. The aiming's not great (use motion controls for finesse, stick controls for a more traditional experience), many of the levels are small, there aren't a lot of modes, the shooting isn't solid, the online experience feels old-gen and there isn't a satisfying sense of progression. Also, the single player campaign is lackluster and the bosses for each stage are fairly simple. And not having split-screen 2-player play on a system that's all about multiplayer is odd; If you want to play with a friend or family member, better hope they have another Switch and a copy of Splatoon 2. All that said, there is something enjoyable about hopping in, laying down some ink and splatting fools, as is getting new accessories for your inkling. It's just not a very robust experience and fades quickly until the next online Splatfest or Salmon Run. As the title says: Fun, but fleeting.

If you're looking for a fun multiplayer experience on the switch, I'd easily recommend this. I feel this ranks alongside Mario Kart and Smash as the best multiplayer games on the system. It's great for both kids and adults and is extremely unique.

Gameplay is great. Love the aesthetic and style. Motion controls are a bit wonky though.

Great game. There's a lot you can do. Changing into a squid adds a lot of depth to this genre. Online play is a blast. Being able to buy weapons and apparel really adds to this game. My family bought 3 copies of this game to play online at home. This game really is a gem.

My daughter has been wanting this for a while and we finally got it for the kids. They both love it (boy 8, girl 5). Pretty easy to pick up for seasoned veteran or a newbie. The gyroscopic controls take a little getting used to, but you get the hang of it fairly quickly.

My grandkids waited patently for this game to be released, by the way I was able to purchase for $35 with a coupon & game membership. I have never hheard all 5 girls laughing & having so much fun helping each other reach the different levels on any of their other games.

This is probably the most fun and competitive one-player game I've played on a Nintendo! If you had 2 switch consoles, you can join your friends, but otherwise, the only bad thing about this game is that it's a one-player game.

Very fun game and pretty friendly to the casual player. It's a nice evolution to the first game and they're still doing additional content updates. A word of warning that it does require the new Switch online service in order to play online multiplayer.
