Now that major updates are done for splatoon 3, it’s safe to say this is the worst game in the series. As a stand alone game, splatoon 3 is a 7/10, maybe an 8/10, but as the 3rd game in the series and the 2nd one in the same console, this game is a 4/10 maybe even less. Splatoon 3 fails in almost every aspect as a sequel, my main problems being the atrocious map design, the new lackluster update cycle, boring and stale balance patches, almost no new modes, the new modes that were added were either time limited, poorly balanced, or boring, the main attraction since splatoon 1 (splatfests) were completely butchered, side order getting old very fast, etc… This game had the potential to be the best game in the series, we had the best at launch story mode, better special design, but the negatives FAR outweigh the positives.
Hard to keep up what’s happening on screen, the roster is underwhelming, the stages are boring and don’t add anything to the gameplay besides visuals, and you can’t even play with 4 people online as a team. Nintendo release your games finished challenge 3 2 1 go!
This game is genuinely so boring. Platinum is just the better game, they’re using the limited diamond and pearl pokedex, trainer teams, story, rooms, which are all inferior, the game is also super ugly, the art style just doesn’t look good with constant low quality textures and weird animations, the music is also very mediocre. Yet another decline for the pokemon franchise
Great story, excellent soundtrack, good characters, addictive gameplay, tons of content, overall an amazing game. Only complaint is the fps, but it never dropped in important situations, only during special moves, so it didn’t really matter for me
Been playing up to the fifth gym and this is a very mediocre Pokémon game. Pokémon games have never been too hard but this is just ridiculously easy. The wild area while being fun, looks terrible and super ugly. 500+ Pokémon were cut for plenty of animations that look from a Nintendo 64 game, unpolished and muddy textures, and plenty of features removed in favor of a new one which just boils down to making your Pokémon bigger, even gigantamaxin feels boring. This game is the result of Game Freak going too far with being lazy and cutting corners. I highly recommend buying this game used, as GF does not deserve the money for this rushed and unpolished game.
