It's got some charming elements that were clearly thought out for children, but then the game was designed for a T audience. The basic gameplay is good, but there's not enough variety in the modes and maps. The singleplayer is also too basic and each character's maps are nearly identical. The microtransactions are very bad, at $45 for some packs. With some work, this could have been something very special and nice. But in its chase for MTX and not really understanding what made Splatoon special in the first place, it fails to deliver a satisfying experience. It just feels like this game was sent out to die.
