Somewhat Short Review:

As someone who didn't enjoy Splatoon 2 all that much, I'm a bit surprised I enjoyed Splatoon 3 game a ton. However, there still a lot of problems I have with this game and most of that has to do with the Multiplayer and Salmon Run.

Story Mode is very much improved overall. The hub areas are kinda fun to explore. There're tons of variety with the missions as well and they were a ton of fun minus some annoying missions that require me to aim. (Sorry I don't use motion controls lol.)

Multiplayer is pretty much the same as before, but at least you can do something while in matchmaking. Still don't like the whole schedule stuff and matchmaking takes too long sometimes. Oh yeah right... way too much connection errors. Come the fuck on Nintendo lmao. At the very least it can be fun with friends and gameplay feels more snappier than ever before with the addition of squid roll and faster respawn times.

Salmon Run is still very much the same except it's available 24/7 and you can throw eggs I guess. To be honest Salmon Run is just ok, but I don't like very much due to grinding for rewards feeling like a chore because you must rely on your teammates to collect as many eggs as possible before time runs out meanwhile you get spammed by so many bosses that come in like every direction. Yeah I hate this mode, but it's fine when I don't play it very often.

Overall, the game is pretty decent but Nintendo really need to get there shit together. There are a lot of minor inconveniences that really does turn me away for a bit. There's a lot I can list here, but that would take all day. Really do have a love-hate relationship with this game don't I? If you love Splatoon 2 enough, this game won't let you down for its improvements. As for me, it could honestly be a whole lot better, but it's a somewhat solid game in the series.
