A vibrant and adorable world – no one makes "cute" work like Nintendo, Deceptively simple and accessible gameplay disguises higher-level strategizing, Matches are fast, fun and it's hard to stay mad for long, Lots of variety in terms of weapons, abilities
No voice chat or easy player matchmaking – unacceptable for an online-focused game in 2015, Short, uninvolving single-player campaign
Gorgeous graphics, packed with ideas, fast and frenetic gameplay

Proves shooters don't have to be violent to be engaging, Employs one of the most unique movement mechanics around, It makes you look at your environment and opponents in new ways, The colorful atmosphere lifts you up rather than weighing you down
The single player campaign loses steam too quickly, A lack of control over multiplayer matches does more harm than good, Some content is locked behind amiibos, forcing eager Inklings to spend real world money
