Where Splatoon 3 really shines is in its co-op offering. The menu is simple to navigate to find the exact kind of play you want. It’s very easy to find friends to play against or team up with against teams of strangers. The game manages to team you up with players of a similar skill level really well.

About
Enter the Splatlands, a sun-scorched desert inhabited by battle-hardened Inklings and Octolings. Splatsville, the city of chaos, is the adrenaline-fueled heart of this dusty wasteland. Even in this desolate environment, Turf War* reigns supreme and battles rage in new stages located in the surrounding wilds. Dynamic new moves help these fighters dodge attacks and cover more ground, along with a new bow-shaped weapon to sling ink. Join Agent 3 in a fight against the unruly Octarians in story mode. Discover the secrets of Alterna, the Fuzzy Ooze, and how they connect to the mode's theme, "Return of the Mammalians.” Team up and fend off waves of dangerous Salmonid bosses in the next iteration of Salmon Run*, a co-op mode with fresh new features.

- 9.0It’s a game where you will feel the 3-minute matches feel like full-length matches in other games. This is easily one of the best games you can play with friends or even by yourself.
- Splatoon 3 has so much to offer on launch. From its imaginative and over-the-top single-player campaign to the smorgasbord of online and co-operative modes, there’s enough content here to keep newcomers and veterans busy for months on end.
- 9.0There’s still a lot on the horizon for this game, given that there are promises to keep the updates coming until 2024, but as it is, you will not regret spending on this fantastic title. Splatoon 3 is getting a 9 out of 10.
- 9.0I really enjoyed the story mode. There are a lot of new mechanics to play with and a lot more secrets to uncover. And I really enjoyed completing the log. My only complaint is that there are a lot fewer boss battles.
- 8.5The story here is also a lot of fun and features some of the favorite returning characters and a large bit of Splatoon lore for hardcore fans. The Campaign mode is definitely my favorite part of this game and would make the game worthy of purchase on it’s own.
