I love this game. Salmon Run and its difficulty is the reason that I have over 2000 hours in the game I believe. The new content kept breathing new life into the game. I love the new weapon classes especially the bows. The creativity of this game is top tier. I love the community of the game as well. I will say that the connection issues is like the main thing that brings this game down from a perfect score for me. I don’t believe that same issue was present in Splatoon 2.
Both the base game and DLC story modes are really fun. I enjoy that Side Order was designed with replayability in mind. Soundtrack is great, like always. Multiplayer is also fantastic, but has some issues. Map design is boring, weapon kits are questionable, and the servers are notoriously unstable sometimes. That's just how Splatoon is, and probably always will be.
This game makes me feel meh. I felt it to be a little unnecessary and does little to improve upon Splatoon 2. At this point I play this game super super casually and every time I try to play a CASUAL NON RANKED turf war mode match it is FILLED with people that have 1,000+ hours in this game so all I do is get dominated. Go to ranked modes you fucking dorks. (Seriously, look at their switch profiles, I'm not exaggerating.)
There's a lot to discuss about this game if you get into the details, so people have a lot of criticism for it, but for me it's just really good.
I don't normally play competitive shooters or find them interesting, but this one REALLY hooked me. It's very artistically interesting and charming (unlike most 3D shooters imo) with interesting movement and weapons, without having too much going on. I also love how much of a focus on customization it has, while I don't care for the gear ability system, the gear itself has a lot to offer, so making outfits is really fun.
Also, Salmon Run is an amazing mode. The new egg throwing mechanic really saved it. All around, it has great contrast to the competitive modes for when you don't feel up to that, and is a nice way to get cash and ability chunks.
If you try to go pro with this game then I know there are a lot of criticisms to have, and the game can definitely be grindy, but I love it. 10/10 vibes, very fun. Also has a great community (mostly).
