I played 2,000+ hours of splatoon 2. played competitively for three years. Loved, breathed, slept this game. Splatoon 3 is nothing but the very best that this game can possibly be. The quality of life changes are absolutely INCREDIBLE. Ranked systems where you can pair with friends and keep playing with the same players that you liked in your past lobbies. Ability chunks completely reworked and gear is easier to build with the addition of five gear slots. Replays of past ranked games. All of the core game modes are reworked so it is easier/harder to K.O. (rainmaker is harder and clams is easier which was MUCH needed, especially on the competitive side). They brought back only the best maps and specials, and the new specials make the game even more fast paced than ever. This game is a dream for anyone who wants to play competitively, but just as much so someone who wants to play casually for fun. It is so much fun hopping into a turf war and playing with all of these new weapons and specials which are so unique and niche to Splatoon. I could go on for hours about how amazing this game is. Just simply the atmosphere of this universe and how paint-oriented everything is is simply unfathomable. Everything is unique. A mini gun is actually a ballpoint pen. An Automatic Rifle is a super soaker. A champagne bottle is a weapon that has a first large and far bullet which resembles a champagne bottle exploding. And don’t even get me going with the clothing, the specials. Everything. This is a game that everyone needs to try at least once, because no matter if you are a true gamer or the most casual there is; the game offers that avenue for you. 10/10 game.
