The editors liked

  • Ingenious game mechanics
  • Vibrant graphics
  • Inventive single-player campaign
  • Accessible yet deep
  • Fast-paced fun
  • Colourful aesthetic
  • Squid navigation
  • One of the most refreshing takes on the shooter in years
  • It's all (in Splatoon's own words) 'totes adorbs'
  • Beautiful graphics that shine on the Wii U – sometimes literally
  • Interesting cast of fishy characters
  • Cute yet deadly in equal measure
  • The most multiplayer fun we've had in ages
  • 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
  • Gorgeous graphics
  • Packed with ideas
  • Fast and frenetic gameplay

The editors didn't like

  • Lacks variety
  • Can feel grindy in the early stages
  • Limited content
  • Irritating menus
  • So-so solo mode
  • There's just not enough game here
  • Discards genre convention with varying degrees of success
  • Gating content behind amiibo is gross
  • Single-player is a little easy and short to complete
  • Needs a few more multiplayer maps to prevent regular repetition (but that's plucking at straws)
  • No voice chat or easy player matchmaking – unacceptable for an online-focused game in 2015
  • Short
  • Uninvolving single-player campaign
  • Imprecise controls
  • Lacking in stages and levels at launch
  • Very competitive online

  • Multiplayer is initially a lot of fun, Ink system is superbly crafted
  • Online action can become a grind, and isn't as feature complete as it should be, Platforming soon loses its edge

  • Abstract:  It has been 11 months since I last played Splatoon . At the time, I couldn't quite grasp its appeal. A first-person, action-packed shooter for the Wii U aimed at kids didn't sounds like something I'd rush out to buy on launch day, but Nintendo clearly has...

  • Nintendo does a nice job of painting outside the lines with its own third-person shooter, but then muddles the final product with meager content, frustrating online design, and an unremarkable single-player offering.In some ways, Splatoon seems like it wo...

  • Unique gameplay mechanic, Extremely fun in short bursts
  • Repetitive, Grinding, No voicechat
  • I really enjoyed Splatoon. The single player campaign is excellent (albeit a bit short) and the online modes enjoyable. Unfortunately, a lack of modes and maps limits the enjoyment to short spurs. It's a fun game to keep you occupied for a while, and it...

  • Creative mechanics, Fastpaced matches, Customization
  • Limited content, No voice chat
  • Nintendo's take on the third-person shooter is refreshingly original, with lots of impressive tools and skillful mobility. Matches are consistently fun and tense, and the mechanics feel simple enough that almost anyone can contribute positively. Splatoon...
