Never finished the main campaign back when the game first came out so I thought I’d give it another shot in preparation for Side Order and it’s…fine? I don’t know, it kinda lands like a wet fart after Octo Expansion but that’s what happens when you set the bar too high. I ultimately enjoyed my time with it but half the levels felt like a slog to play through and after three games, the aesthetics are no longer interesting enough to carry it. Three games in and it already feels like Splatoon is running out of ink.

(This is purely a review of the single player campaign. I have no intention of diving into the multiplayer side of the game and therefore cannot judge it on that front)
