The final evolution in Splatoon's gameplay. The new weapon types and abilities keep the game fresh (pun intended) and fun. Squid Surges and Rolls feel so natural to the gameplay loop that they make going back to Splatoon 1 and 2 a little difficult. The Splatana Wiper and Tri-Stinger are really fun to use, especially the Splatana, which has easily become a favorite of mine. The updates to core modes are also welcome despite me wishing we also got a new mode in addition to the massive roster of modes to choose from.

The Single-Player Campaign is a refined version of Octo Expansion which lands a spectacular finish in its final act.

I've already been a big fan of Splatoon since its reveal back in Nintendo's 2014 Digital Event but Splatoon 3 truly cements the series as one of my favorites in Nintendo's Catalog.
