Splatoon 2 (Switch)

My daughter had asked me to purchase this game and at first I didn't purchase it because I didn't think it would be good. I was completed wrong! This game is amazing. It's got multiple games within 1 game and you can purchase the Octolink Expansion online to go with this. Note that only 1 person can play this game at one time. You would have to purchase another switch and game for multiple people within the home to play. There is a monthly fee to play online, as the Ink teams are made up from people all over the world playing the switch. It's definietly worth it! So much fun.

In Splatoon 1, there were a lot of Specials that felt really unfair to deal with (Kraken, Bubbler, Inkzooka, Echolocator, certain Bomb Rushes). In this sequel, the Specials aren't nearly as strong which is great because it's less infuriating when you get killed by them. I'm still working my way through the single player but it seems to be more fun or just as fun as the first game. Salmon Run is also a fun and welcome addition. More games need to have that Left 4 Dead kind of co-op mode. If you've never played the first Splatoon on the Wii U, give this second game a shot because they really refined that core gameplay of being a squid and a kid.

Absolutely fantastic game it's bright colorful and very well done turf wars painting the floor is absolutely addicting but it can get a little stale as there is only 8 maps right now with more to come and that all wouldn't be to bad if the map rotation wasn't a thing. How it works is every 2 hours the maps change and you can only play the same 2 maps for that 2 hour block and almost always ends with playing the same map over and over. There really isn't a good way to do voice chat with this game which I don't mind as much as some do but I fell like you'd either be talking to a lot of minors or a lot of cussing so it's probably for the best.
