On paper, splatoon sounds horrible. The control scheme is janky and the concept is strange. But this game works with these concepts and fleshes them out into an innovative game and a sprawling world that work perfectly on the janky system that was the Wii U. If Splatoon had released anywhere else I don’t think it would be as memorable, and while coming back to the first game from splat 2 or 3 is jarring this is still amazing to come back to today. Sadly I could never finish the story mode so I have no comments there, but either way this is an amazing stepping stone for the series that’s definitely worth checking out today.
