Splatoon

« From a block of tofu to squid kids, Nintendo put their best foot forward in developing their new franchise. »

« There’s nothing else quite like it, nor the cathartic dopamine jolt to be had when you squid-skim up a paint-smeared quarter pipe, an Inkzooka at the ready, leap over the edge, take aim with your weapon, and reduce a startled opponent to goo. »

« I think I'm addicted to ink. [Issue #15; May/June 2015, p.68] »

« Splatoon combines area controlling and shooting in equal measure. You don't have to splat a lot of opponents to be good at it, which is nice. A colourful and intense experience. [Aug 2015] »

« This is easily one of the most purely enjoyable titles available on the Wii U and given that’s exactly what a Nintendo game should be, it’s impossible not to recommend it through giddy superlatives. Get thy ass out there and purchase thee a copy post-haste, fellow Nintendo ninnies. »

« Not only Splatoon is fun, colorful and addictive, but is one of the best games available for Wii U and a good reason to buy Nintendo's console. »

« The biggest star though is just the overall style of the game, with characters that will quickly endear themselves to every player. Splatoon is easily one of the most unique games of this generation, and one of the best as well. »

« We were skeptical, at first, considering the strong multiplayer component of the game, and the limited amount of content. But boy, we were wrong. Splatoon is a coloured, hectic, engaging, raving, well-balanced and incredibly fun shooter that every Wii U owner should have in his library. »

« A stellar first entry offering an addicting gameplay loop with fresh aesthetics and OST. Shame that the official servers are shut down. »

« The story mode is great, and the online was enough good to say it was a good game. I really hope one day we can play it like years ago. »

« love the game a lot, played for hours in the multiplayer and loved the story in octo valley »

« Solid game, nothing wrong but I never really took to the splatoon series. I can see why people love it and glad this game exists »

« El videojuego Splatoon es un videojuego unico en su genero (tps) debido a su innovadora mecanica de combates donde no debes de hacer mas eliminaciones que el rival, sino que debes pintar mas que el rival entre otros modos. El juego cuenta con una gran variedad de arsenal de armas y tambien unospersonajes llamados "inkling" muy carismaticos y entrañables. La unica pega es su historia debido que debesde informarte para entenderla del todo. »

« This is my favorite game of all time. Not the best game of all time in my opinion. But my favorite. This encapsulates what makes Splatoon so great. This is the most fun game of all time. The insanely fast paced online even more so than 3 and especially 2 makes this game a good time literally every time I play it. People often get pushed away from its pace or its gyro but if you really try to learn this game, you will love it too. The amazing singleplayer that rivals octo expansion and my favorite final boss fight of all time also help to make this game a masterpiece. This game also has half the input lag as the other 2, making it feel way more smooth. It also has this signature Splatoon style that gets lost in 2 and 3. And fan made servers are still up letting you play this game even after it was killed. The love I feel for this game cannot be expressed. »

« With game design, visual style, soundtrack, and world setting all exhibiting a wonderful and original sensibility, this Squid-action shooter is a unique, genre-redefining masterpiece in true Nintendo fashion. »

« it was an excellent game while it lasted; some flaws here and there but only nitpicks; the word fresh comes to mind to describe it; alas it was abandoned by Nintendo with the Wii U console itself; a sad end for a fun and quirky game »
