You ever play a game were you're just so bad at the genre that it kinda ruins your experience?

this review is only about the single player experience

Look, I already knew that I'm really bad at shooters of any kind (though third person is usually better then first person), so I knew that this wasn't probably going to become my favourite game of all time and that shy I didn't even try the multiplayer mode.

But I still wanted to try it out. The style is really cool. I like the blend of aquatic life forms and modern street cultures, I like how the lore is set after the whole world is flooded by climate change as well as how the Octarians came to live under the surface in the remnants of human bunkers and I also like the not so serious nature of the game and the puns, but ... I'm just so damn bad at it, I can't enjoy these things really while playing. It also doesn't help, that the story mode is not that full of all that stuff and that you find most of it only in Inkopolis the walkable lobby/ match making screen of the game (which again is such a charming idea!).
So I guess I'll be staying a watcher of Splatoon content instead if actually enjoying it myself.
