the core game mechanics and ideas are sound but unfortunately they are wasted on developers who seem to be determined to make the least consumer friendly choices possible?? still one of my favourite games unfortunately
somehow the terrible meta never bothered me much upon release but these days splatoon 3 is just more fun mechanically to play. fun game though even if you’d need to put a gun to my head to make me return to it
wish i could erase this game from my memory so i could go back to it without getting bored within five minutes but i did get over 600 hours on it beforehand
removing the one mechanic (time skipping) that makes animal crossing playable for jobless people (me) is such a joke. why are the developers more worried about the graphics than making the game playable
this is what happens when you only care about looking cute and not having actual substance. i should be able to get more than 200 hours out of a sandbox game man
the main story is fun but after a while it feels like there’s nothing much to do unfortunately (switch port adds a lot of fun stuff but i never got around to it because the base game put me to sleep)
objectively poorly balanced with rubber banding mechanics that will destroy your hopes and dreams of ever coming in first. that being said i love it so much
definitely worth sinking time into if you’re interested in a higher skill ceiling. i didn’t personally find the microtransactions very intrusive but introducing them AFTER the game already got glowing reviews feels cartoonishly greedy
