Splatoon 2 feels more like an upgraded, remastered version of Splatoon than a sequel. The single player campaign is different and the cooperative Salmon Run mode is new, but otherwise it's just a fresh paint job on the same game.

Just as fun and frantic as the first game; Improved graphics; More local multiplayer options than the first Splatoon

Online matches are still heavily curated; Doesn't change much from Splatoon

'Splatoon 2' is a must-own multiplayer bonanza for Nintendo's Switch.

Hilarious across all three main modes; Creative and colorful design; Salmon Run changes up the formula; Turf War is as intense and addictive as ever

Multiplayer matchmaking is still archaic; No new competitive modes

Based on the original Wii U title of the same name Splatoon 2 builds on the fundamentals set by the original but brings the paint splashing title to the Nintendo Switch. With co-op game modes, online versus and even a single player campaign. Said campaign serves as a fantastic introduction to t...

Expands heavily on the original – Fast paced and unique shooter

Minimal single player content

Despite imperfections, Splatoon 2 improves on the original, and is a colourful, joyous addition to the Switch.

Put any doubt in your mind away about Splatoon 2 being some enhanced port or 1.5 release. The improved single-player experience, the enhanced and multitude of online modes for all skill levels and Salmon Run which is just a ton of fun make Splatoon 2 the complete Switch game.

There's a lot to love in Nintendo's second iteration of its quirky shooter, especially the way emphasizes splatting the ground just as much as it does inking your opponents. The new additions to its single-player campaign and multiplayer modes are a step in the right direction, but it still has some...

Splatoon 2 may be more of the same, but that's no bad thing. It does add the new Salmon Run mode and League Battle, which are great additions and improves the overall performance and visual presentation.

I loved the original Splatoon . Its lack of content hurt it at launch for me personally, but long term support turned it into one of my personal favorite games on the Wii U. I put it right next to the likes of Pikmin 3 and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze .

Like the first Splatoon , Nintendo's sequel to their smash hit isn't your average multiplayer online shooter. You play as an inkling, a humanoid/squid hybrid that uses different items, like guns and rollers, to spread colored ink on the ground and other surroundings.
