The Splatoon 2: Octo Expansion never lacks in the sheer spectacle of its creativity. It’s Nintendo at its best, for sure, taking what we have come to expect from Splatoon 2’s core experience only to throw the rulebook out the window to astound with freshly inked ideas. More, please.

Critic reviews
- Splatoon 2: Octo Expansion is a reminder of how good the series’ single-player content can be. Brimming with tense, precision-based challenges and creative ways to force you out of your gameplay comfort zone, Octo Expansion is a terrific reason to once again take the plunge into Splatoon 2.
- Octo Expansion is neither, and in fact, I'd argue it's even better than the original game's single-player campaign. Through the 15-or-so hours it'll take you to complete the expansion 100%, you'll be led through a jungle gym full of rails to ride, targets to shoot, hazards to stunt over, and enemies to face down. And when you finally catch your breath after having reached the end, you won't be able to resist diving back in to see if you can finally complete that speedrun challenge with the carbon roller, damn it all.
- 8.8Octo Expansion throws plenty of both fun and serious challenges at you, between its expansive amount of levels and a multi-tiered finale that doesn’t disappoint. These trials provide worthy so many challenges for those who wish to hone their mechanical skills for upcoming multiplayer matches, that I wish this had been Splatoon 2’s base campaign all along.
- If you’re craving more Splatoon, this will definitely suffice. Other than a few less than inspiring levels that you’ll thankfully move through quickly (or just skip), this is a worthwhile break from the multiplayer modes we’ve been playing through since Splatoon 2’s launch. Even if you haven’t touched the original campaign, now is a great time to enjoy this single-player Splatoon experience.
- 7.080 stages is a lot to get through, but you only need to earn the four thangs by visiting the critical path locations -- a rough estimate for that is around five hours (culminating in a more story-esque gauntlet finish), double if you try to do everything. As cool as the "agent" and underground concept is, a lot of the aesthetic shift feels like a re-skin of sorts.
Gamer reviews
So, i reviewed splatoon 2 mentioning this. Well a more detailed about this for what i thought is that this is another level of hard compare to the story mode. You start with an octoling which you are not bad, and find yourself underground. Your goal is to escape the underground. You will have to play your way through multiple of puzzles which are some quite difficult. And eventually fight the last boss. Each puzzle cost some currency(in game). When you beat the puzzle you earn more, if you lose you need to pay again. By the end all of this is finish, you could play octoling in the battle royale
