before i just talked about the multiplayer but i finally got around to completing all of the story mode except for after alterna. this campaign was pretty fun! it kept me engaged for most of it and i love how all collectibles are in the overworld now. there are a lot of fun levels but some are absolute Buttfuck and the bosses are kinda lame. however! the final boss sequence was awesome ...but this is still your run-of-the-mill splatoon campaign. i know we weren't promised anything of the sort but the initial teaser for the campaign made it seem like we weren't just going to get the same weird floating disconnected levels from the past three (3) campaigns. i don't necessarily want splatoon to go ""Open World"" but i just want something different, man! also it took me way too long to realize that the platforming sucks balls in this series

the multiplayer is plagued by overly tedious leveling progression, worthless updates, a terrible communication system, and a lack of entertaining, new, or interesting content, making this one of the most disappointing and frustrating games i've ever played.
the online infrastructure is embarrassingly archaic and what's crazy is that all of the aforementioned problems and more have been present since the first game was released in checks notes 2015.

it's a shame because there's so much potential in splatoon but nahhh lets just add an old map and weapon here and there and have a pisspoor event every few months. Man



fuck this shitass game im gonna go hit the griddy gangnam style on fortnite now
