Toby spills ink in and over Splatoon 2, the sequel to Nintendo's breakout hit of 2015.

Enjoyable, well-designed single-player mode; Multiplayer is absolutely fantastic; Gorgeous to play in both docked and handheld modes; Salmon Run is a welcome addition

No ability to create lobbies with friends pre-match, which shouldn't be an issue in 2017; Voice chat is relegated to an app that should be avoided in its current state

The original Splatoon was a hit on the Wii U, a console that otherwise had its fair share of struggles. It's with that in mind that, via the new Switch, Nintendo has decided to provide us with more in the form of a sequel, Splatoon 2.

The meat of Splatoon 2 is fantastic, while the menus and hub that surrounds it is confusing, it's clear that the gameplay reaches the high bar of a Nintendo developed title. The company still doesn't understand how the navigate the online world, to a frustrating degree, but with gameplay this good...

Great Art Design; Fun Gameplay; Awesome Single Player

Poor Menus; Confusing Hub

Nintendo took a chance by introducing Splatoon when it originally debuted on the Wii U, and it worked out swimmingly. It made a splash with players in every demographic, and attracted fans with its colorful characters, addictive gameplay and competitive multiplayer.

Excellent multiplayer options; Plenty of gear to customize your squid; Salmon Run is addictive

Single-player lacking; Tags

The original Splatoon was one of my favourite games to play on the Wii U because of it's fast paced action, beautiful art style and music. However, I only started playing the game after the laft splatfest so I never really got to enjoy the game to it's fullest. So what do I think of this game

Massively expanded single player campaign; brilliant online multiplayer; co-op Salmon Run mode adds variety

Little evolution over original game; lobby between matches doesn't allow weapon changes

Splatoon 2 doesn't add much to shake up the splat-paint-everywhere formula, but I wonder if it needs to at this point. Splatoon 2 is a much stronger game at launch than its original ever was through its whole lifespan, and for that, is easily one of the best games one can own on the Switch.

One of the most highly thought of games from the Wii U is, without a doubt, the original Splatoon . Its distinct brand of quick-fire, four vs. four territorial paintball multiplayer, where the objective is to cover the map in as much of your team's ink as possible, turned out to be a winning...

Ordered this for my 8 year old for Xmas as he requested. Not played yet but the other Nintendo Switch games are really good, not too hard but challenging enough to keep them interested.

Splatoon 2 is easy to love. It's colorful and quirky and unafraid to be different, and it's consistently a blast to play. As far as shooters go, its unique movement mechanics stand out and make each match exciting.

Single-player campaign provides a skill challenge that showcases Splatoon's unique mechanics; PvP multiplayer is still a blast and is made fresh by new maps and tweaks to weapon strategies; League Battle introduces a mode with more matchmaking structure to PvP multiplayer; The vibrant,...

Interesting new mechanics from single player don't really show up in multiplayer; You're still unable to change your weapon and gear while in a lobby; which can lead to frustrating team composition; No in-game support for voice chat makes multiplayer more complicated than it has to be
