Customer Ratings & Reviews

Having played Splatoon 2 after a friend recommended it to me a little over a year ago, I was pretty familiar with the gameplay and style of Splatoon. This game is a well-rounded follow-up to 2, bringing additional abilities, new weapons, and great improvements to gameplay and general feel of the game. There are still plenty of hiccups when it comes to the online battle modes, resulting in fairly frequently disconnects or moments of lag. The music is fun and energetic, stages are familiar with some upgrades and new additions, and art style is incredibly vibrant and quirky. As someone who doesn't really enjoy FPS-style games, this one definitely has me hooked! Overall, the refined gameplay mechanics make it a great update to the already popular series and will be fun to pick up and play for months to come.

I picked up Splatoon 3 for my kids, and it’s quickly become one of the most played games in our house. I originally bought it thinking they’d enjoy the colorful style and goofy ink battles, but I didn’t expect it to take over our living room the way it has. They love the fast-paced matches, customizing their characters, and teaming up with friends online. It’s one of those rare games that’s fun to watch and fun to jump into myself. Easily one of the best purchases I’ve made for them.

I loved Splatoon 2 and this one is a good follow up. Just like 2 but with some great additions in weapons. I was happy to be able to transfer status from 2. Fun n exciting game.

It’s a very fun game and I have already played it for 20 hours

takes about everything i liked from splatoon 2, refines it, and makes subtle but substantial changes to make this the most fun i've ever spent playing splatoon with a much improved offline story mode, it's a pretty great game all around

It is an amazing multi-player game with an equally amazing single-player mode.

Love Splatoon 3. Great campaign and great DLC. Lots of modes and features for multiplayer or single player fun.

The past few Nintendo games with free updates, have not been the best, but this one is pretty solid out of the box. It has all the modes (minus the DLC), a ton of weapons, and more clothing I still haven’t unlocked.

I've never played a Splatoon game before, but this game has captivated me and I will probably go back to play the first two. As other people have mentioned, Switch Online sucks and I feel like this franchise is held back on Nintendo platforms because there isn't an option to voice chat with your teammates at all despite the game encouraging team based strategy and you are constantly getting connrction issues. The worst part is if you're in a room with your friends that room is gone and you have to invite all your friends and make a new one. This is absolutely egregious so as much as I love the game I am going to dock it a star. Aside from that though the multiplayer is great! There are so many different weapons to choose from and play styles to utilize and it's fun to try to unlock them all. I havent had any major issues once I am in a match unlike Smash Bros that lags constantly. Turf War is fun and unique and there are so many other fun multiplayer game modes to try, including Salmon Run in which you fight off hordes of big fish to harvest their eggs. Aside from a lot of multiplayer content the story mode is quite fun. I highly recommend this game! Here's hoping that Nintendo improves their online service.

I have never been interested in a Splatoon game until this version. Fun multiplayer and an in-depth single player experience with great challenges. Great soundtrack and visuals.

This was my first time playing a Splatoon title and I have had a lot of fun so far. The online gameplay is great outside of some connection drops and the single player content is equally fun.

Definitely improves on Splatoon 2 and adds a lot for both new and returning players. Also keeps things fresh throughout the year so you can keep coming back to the game.

I played Splatoon 2 on the Switch and had a lot of fun with that game, and Splatoon 3 adds to that. I really like how the game implements motion controls in combat. My issue with this game comes from the online. The game tends to disconnect frequently, so I spend a bunch of time in the lobby trying to get into a match. When it works well, it's fine, but I found the problem to happen way too often. I haven't played since the first month or so after the game's launch, so I'm not sure if that problem has been resolved, but I haven't heard otherwise. With that being said, you should consider getting it if you like Splatoon 2, and people who may have not played a Splatoon game before would like it just the same.

Great game! Don't expect any drastic changes as it is everything you love about Splatoon 2 + add in some fun changes to the single player content. The 3-way Splatfests have been fun too!

While not a massive leap for the franchise in terms of innovation it does improve on Splatoon 2 in just about every way. There's sure to be more great free content over the next 2 years.

Played all the past Splatoon games and this one is basically the same game just with some new content, improvements, and the same addicting gameplay. Highly recommend this game.

My kids love it great game really fun to play with the family

Great game never played it until now and it blew me away

A very addicting game that is fun even if you are new to the series. The story mode is a blast and so is playing online.

A great game with a lot of content to offer. No mircotransactions just fun game modes to pick up and play. A great world desgin too.
