Splatoon 3 is the.. well third game of the Splatoon series of games that has apparently gotten Square Enix to bring a competitor to the fray (Seriously.. Foamstars?!) but the best way to call Splatoon is an action shooting game best served for some online, but some story aspect. It's a game that won 2022's Best Multiplayer Award at The Game Awards. So what does this game do well? What needs to be improved on for Splatoon 4? All that and more below.
Positives:
1. Events- This is directly related to online but they do a great job promoting their events online all the time. This game is made for these types of things, and the multiplayer aspect makes it one of the best around.
2. Multiplayer- Yeah when they awarded this game with the Best Multiplayer Award at the 2022 Game Awards that wasn't a bit. This game is insanely good at the multiplayer aspect and the online aspect of gaming (whenever Nintendo's servers don't crash, which is about every other day.) This is a critical part to the success of this game.
3. Camera- You never really have a problem with this at least from my perspective. I never had an issue with camera angles or having a bad third person angle of it like a Mario 64 would or other games like Crash 4 or Crash 1 or really any of the Spyro series. Something that is big for the game I feel.
4. Story Mode- I actually enjoyed it, albeit it is a short thing and something I will bring up later. I like more or less all the challenges that story mode brings to you and the way you can use everything that you would use in multiplayer later on. I enjoyed the story but...
Negatives:
1. Story is too short- Yep the story is too short. That's why it's a negative. This is also why this game..
2. Is Limited in Scope- If their multiplayer was not so insanely good, this would be a very average game. Their limited story length makes this game limited to having to being so good at multiplayer and its add-ons/DLC content to make it a lot, lot better over time. They need to find something to enhance their game otherwise it is a release that is good for a slice of time but after a few months it just fades.
Reaction/Rating:
Overall, I would recommend Splatoon 3 but I caution it. It's a series that seems to be very limited to scope. Its' a terrific multiplayer game, and the online features of the game will keep it viable for months at a time until it gets DLC packages. It has a good story, but it needs more in future editions to be more than just an online/multiplayer game. Overall rating for me on Splatoon 3 would be 8 out of 10
