Nor is it a game that actively encourages you to take out the opposition. Sure, giving yourself a numerical advantage is never a bad thing, but the smarter players will focus on covering ground ahead of removing rivals from the equation.

Splatoon is elegant. We're talking ballroom elegant. I suggest you take her by the hand and spin her around a couple times. Splatoon also marks the first time Nintendo has dared enter the competitive online shooter genre.

Unique | Solid and addictive gameplay

NO VOICE CHAT | Atrocious lobby system

Platform: Nintendo Switch Developer & Publisher: Nintendo MSRP: $59.99 Introduction Late in the Wii U's life cycle, Nintendo released a game that shocked players with its ingenuity and levity.

This game is awesome! Packaging a small scratch but I don't care.

Nintendo takes a chance with this odd, risky rethink of the arena shooter. Splatoon moves away from guns and grit, offering a shooter anyone of any age can enjoy. The game's single-player is an absolutely amazing puzzle platformer that deserves some expansion.

Splatoon is simultaneously proof that Nintendo can still deliver tremendously entertaining experiences outside of its usual wheelhouse, and an example of how even the most leaden genres can be twisted to new and delightfully creative ends.
