Reviews around gameplay (4.76 of 5)

  • The community can be obnoxious at times, but the gameplay itself is so, so, so much fun
  • My husband and I play with the kids and we enjoy it as much as they do!
  • No local gameplay is not an issue if you got a decent internet connection.
  • There's plenty to do, it's fun to play with friends, and the gameplay is a masterpiece

Reviews around shooter (4.61 of 5)

  • This game has been easy to learn, fun to play and is a child friendly shooter
  • It takes away the great gaming experiences I had as a kid of split screen shooters like Halo with your friends.
  • This is one of the best shooter games ever made, and everyone with a Switch should own it.
  • Not normally one for competitive shooters, this game has a lot more to offer than your standard shooter
  • Fun kill time light hearted game... anyone that loves shooters and hate actually harming " things" will love it ..... by far a great shooter for someone who does not want a war type game !

Reviews around kid (4.38 of 5)

  • After the kids were disappointed with no multiplayer they each played it once and have not touched it since
  • My kids were super excited about this game, but they cannot get the hang of the lousy controls
  • My kids and I were disappointed.
  • While it works on the switch... now my kids can't buy any of the downloadable content for it because it is Incompatible and Nintendo does not refund on downloads.
  • So the only reason to get it is to play with a kid appropriate shooter WITH your kids

  • My son got bored quick.
  • My son loves very much and I bought a lot of stuff from
  • The 4 on 4 and 8 on 8 mentions in the description are a bit of a bait-n-switch as in the small print much further

Reviews around fun (3.99 of 5)

  • Great game, fun to play online, and the campaign is good too.
  • Fun kill time light hearted game... anyone that loves shooters and hate actually harming " things" will love it ..... by far a great shooter for someone who does not want a war type game !
  • Fun at first but then entirely too repetitive, hardly challenging, and bleek to point of selling for pennies.
  • This game has been easy to learn, fun to play and is a child friendly shooter
  • Like the first game, this will start fun and get worse the longer you play it.

Reviews around mode (3.83 of 5)

  • Playing Splatoon 2 with my son without split screen mode we have been sharing the gaming where he does the easy
  • The online matches are fun,and diverse with lots of game modes, including a competitive mode where you get ranked.
  • Aside from the main online game (Turf War), there are a number of ranked battle modes available, as well as a new fun and intense cooperative mode called Salmon Run.
  • Great multiplayer modes, and a much fuller single player mode.
  • The one thing I wish it had was split screen multiplayer mode - everyone has to have their own switches to play.

Reviews around multiplayer (3.44 of 5)

  • Can you blame those that bought this game thinking there was split screen multiplayer
  • No split screen multiplayer is a deal breaker on this one
  • Multiplayer is great and singleplayer is excellent for a multiplayer oriented game.
  • No split screen multiplayer is a HUGE let let down for me.
  • Frankly, I think the game is kind of boring alone and the online multiplayer isn't great

Reviews around thing (3.29 of 5)

  • Although not much is new it isn't a bad thing because splatoon is so much fun, it all feels very polished compared to the first game as well
  • BUT there was no reason for them to ruin other things in the game.
  • awesome game the only thing i dont like is that it mostly online
  • Otherwise, Splatoon will just continue to be a port of the original from the Wii U.FYI, the single worst thing about this game is the co op play with other people in the same room.
  • This game nearly refines every good thing from the first game

Reviews around star (2.87 of 5)

  • I also want to say if you're looking for a completely unbiased
  • I'm giving this game 5 stars because my kids really like it, but personally it didn't do much for me
  • So many 1 star reviews because people don't bother doing research on a game
  • My husband and I play with the kids and we enjoy it as much as they do!
  • Would be 5 stars if it had split screen but without it there is no need to buy.

Reviews around connection issue (1.95 of 5)

  • I will state as well, that there seems to be a lot of problems with connection issues, because I always get a team where someone has disconnected.
  • The 4 on 4 and 8 on 8 mentions in the description are a bit of a bait-n-switch as in the small print much further
  • This game is a lot like Splatoon U (thats just what I call Splatoon for the Wii U).
  • If you loved the first Splatoon on the Wii U, you will love this one also

  • If you expect to play with a split screen, do not buy this game
