I've loved the series since the second game (I've never had a Wii so I couldn't play Splatoon 1) and It it just insanely entertaining. Some people may think "oh all you are doing is throwing around on some random stage" but there is so much to do In Splatoon 3 the shops are cute and I love customizing my locker, Turf war is outstanding and all of the stages are so cool! (sometimes I just sit there and admire them for a bit) and not to mention the story mode!! It is cram packed with lore (which I love) and its super fun to fight the bosses and find all the secrets around the 6 islands! Oh and I can't forget the DLC that has most of the stuff out (I am still waiting for the side order part COME ON NINTENDO) but the first half so far has the lobby from the first game that you can revisit which is so cool for me! and I'm glad I'm able to see it because as I have said before I've never played Splatoon 1. All in all The Splatoon series and Splatoon 3 is amazing and will keep you entertained for hours and if you are thinking about buying it go for it! It is very much worth it.
