Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’ve been wanting to get this game for a while now and finally decided to get it. First of all, I absolutely love the art style of the game and how the characters look, that’s one of the reasons I wanted to play it. Secondly, it is tons of fun! It has a solo campaign that teaches you how to play and gives you practice to prep for the multiplayer modes. The solo campaign isn’t big, so if you wanted to only play solo then I would advise not get this game. That brings me to my third point, the multiplayer. It is a lot of fun and the maps switch up regularly. Recently I got the Octo expansion pass and that adds about 80 new solo levels and customization gear. Overall this has quickly become one of my favorite games to play and look forward to the time that I get to sit and play it. Highly recommend!

Great alternative to traditional shooters like Call of Duty and Battlefield. Perfect for at home and on the go play! Pros: - Ease of access for new players - Highly addictive shooter - Character customization - Companion App - Salmon Run (horde mode) Cons: - No splitscreen/local multiplayer - Salmon Run is only available during select times - Occasional connection issues - Motion controls are little awkward in handheld mode

There's plenty of strategy involved. With different classes of shooters and a wide variety of sub-weapons, plus ability tweaks via clothes, there's plenty of ways to customize your character for your preferences. The matches are short but highly addicting and competitive. Super fun.

This game plays a bit like a definitive edition of the first game, but that can be said as a compliment rather than a negative. They added a ton of new weapons and maps and new modes. This is definitely a must buy for switch owners. Has tons of replay value because of the online multiplayer

This is a very fun game with high levels of fast-paced action. Sometimes a bit too fast for those that aren't well versed in FPS style games. The only cons I see for this game are the lack of local multiplayer and I personally find that needing to tilt the controller to aim can be a bit tedious. However, once you start playing and get in the swing of things, you forget about the multiplayer and get used to the controls.

Splatoon 2 is one of the best multiplayer shooters ever! It's such a fun game, and is perfect for young kids and adults alike! This is a great alternative for young kids to have a shooter like experience without the violence and language. I'm nearly 19 and I love it! 10/10 would recommend!

I was cautious at first announcement and reveal. Would this just be an uprezzed version of the first on wii u? I'm happy to say that this game exceeds all my expectations. The graphics might not appear to be an upgrade but there is a better depth of colors and much more going on in the background that really makes this game much more visually appealing. The modes are the same but the levels feel much more compact which ups the confrontations and excitement. They have tweeked the ranked matches so that they are graded by type instead of overtake for all three and they have added league ranked battle. My favorite addition is the salmon run. The first few ranks are easy and introduce you to the enemies, one at a time, and don't necessarily require much teamwork. But once you start hitting the higher levels, enemies start coming in groups and teamwork becomes essential. This game is very accessable for all ages at regular battles and highly competitive at ranked battles. I love this game!

Splatoon 2 is full of personality and looks and sounds great. Its online Turf War mode is highly addictive and its character customization options add depth and flare. My only disappointment is that local multiplayer requires another console and game. There is no split screen option. However, I do not regret my purchase and would recommend this game to any discerning Switch owner looking to add only the best games to their library.

This is a very fun and addicting video game, especially for those gamers who love online and coop play! The storyline is neat and the gameplay is will keep you playing for hours. Characters are customizable and a variety of weapons at your disposal, all offering unique abilities.

Splatoon 2 is a great upgrade from Splatoon 1. Salmon Run is very fun with friends and new weapons/maps are great. Nintendo still needs to make playing with friends much better and single player campaign is pretty boring. But multiplayer is outstanding. Must buy for any Switch owner.

Splatoon 2 is the first major game for the Switch that relies on online multiplayer. The gameplay is great, matchmaking is fast, and the smartphone app that goes with it shows good promise. There is a single player campaign, and although it is kind of short, gives the game good playability when wifi is not available. My only gripe is no splitscreen multiplayer, but with Nintendo's push for online play, it is understandable.

If you own a switch and are looking for some good online multiplayer action that you can pick up quickly his is the game for you. Everyone is on an even playing field no matter your level. I love how easy it is to play a few games quickly since I don't have large chunks of free time.

I absolutely love this game! I was worried it would be kind of boring, but I am so glad I purchased it!! I tend to only play multiplayer games, but I find that this is still a ton of fun to play single player.

Splatoon 2 is a third person shooter with the twist being that the main purpose of matches is to coat the arena in ink, as opposed to shooting the other team. Multiplayer is great with a variety of different matches and arenas that are changed to fit the match type. There's even a co-op mode where you splat down ravenous salmon if PvP isn't your deal. The single-player story mode is even better and a great way to introduce yourself to the variety of weapons in the game. However, it's a continuation of the first game's story mode and contains many callbacks, so newcomers to the series might be thrown off. Despite this, it's still a great platforming/shooter mode with tons of things to collect. Overall, I heavily recommend the game, but only in short bursts. Available stages and modes change every couple of hours, so rotating between the same two stages does get tiring pretty quickly.

As someone who extensively played the first Splatoon, I was worried that this sequel wouldn't have enough to feel like a new experience. However, a fantastic single player campaign, an addicting online co-op mode, and frantic online matches have me coming back time and time again.

Splatoon 2 is an amazing, addicting online 4 v 4 shooter. It's eaily one of the most refreshing online shooters I've played in years. The gameplay is unparalleled and the motion assisted aiming allows for quick, easy aiming and precision. The content right now, shortly after launch, is just a little light. It's not as bad as the first game in the series was at launch, but it's not as good as the first game was after all the updates. However with free updates already on their way and rolling out over the next year, I have no doubt that by the end of the year it'll be packed with content and fully worth the money you pay for it. I'd give the game an 8/10, which may seem like a low score considering the praise I have for the game, but the addicting and flawless gameplay is bogged down by some quality of life issues. Things like not being able to change weapons in the lobby, being forced to listen to the map selection every time you load up, map rotations including just two maps and being stuck with those every two hours, making no attempt to reconnect you after the slightest internet trouble, punishing your score (in some ways) even when a team member disconnected mid-match making it 3 v 4 . . . and many other things. It's surprising how many of the little things add up to really ruin the experience. I still absolutely love the game and I'd give the gameplay the highest recommendation I could possibly give it, but the game itself has its issues. It's definitely worth playing, but I can't bring myself to score it higher than an 8/10.

I bought this video game for my son because he has the new Nintendo switch and I must admit this game is extremely fun I've never played it and I play it with him and my daughter plays it as well I love how it's not violent and I really enjoy the paintball part of it.

I missed Splatoon 1, but jumped in on 2. This is a great game, easy to learn, time to master. Super fun in multiplayer - easy to jump in on a match when you have 10 minutes for a game. The single player campaign is good as well. Also, lots of ongoing DLC for no charge.

It's nice seeing a different IP from Nintendo. The multiplayer has it's downfalls. Salmon Run is a blast, but having it restricted to only certain times feels wrong. There are certainly problems setting up multiplayer matches with your friends, and perhaps Nintendo will eventually figure that part out. Single player missions seem on the weak side, but the upcoming Octo Expansion should fix that.

If you have never played Splatoon on the Wii U and own a Switch, then you should definitely pick up Splatoon 2. It's a refreshing take on online shooting games that in my opinion have grown stale thanks to Call of Duty. Not good at shooters, no problem. The point of the game is not about how many times you take out your opponent. Instead it's about what team can cover the level with the most ink. The sequel also includes a new horde mode called Salmon Run which is addictive and a better single player mode than the first. The game is not perfect though. Nintendo still needs to improve it's online capabilities, especially since they will soon be charging for them. The game suffers from a low tick rate (just Google it) and you still cannot swap out gear and weapons once you are in the lobby. Also, there are no split screen modes at all. Other than that, the game is a blast to play and I highly recommend it.
