Splatoon 2
I tried so hard to like Splatoon 2. I
drank the Kool-Aid, and listened to the fan-boys. There are just too
many parts of Splatoon 2 that are obnoxious. First thing that happens
when we get into this game is to listen to two female squid characters
about the different online options and modes that are available. This
can not be skipped. We are forced to see it every single time we start
to play Splatoon 2. All that did was infuriate me. So every single time
I started playing Splatoon 2 I was irritated. Nintendo is proving they
are not listening, and want to lower their sales.
The issues families can have with Splatoon 2 is the violence, lack of
attire, no local multiplayer and more. There are real limitations to
what kind of inkling character we can create in Splatoon 2. Upgrades are
extremely costly. They are needed to win online though. There are some
neat weapons in Splatoon 2. The default controls are another issue
families can have with Splatoon 2. After you play through the tutorial
you can fix them. Please note they have to be fixed in the TV mode, and
the hand held mode separately. I know that is a bit obnoxious.
I am thankful Family Friendly Gaming purchased Splatoon 2 for this
review. The failures of the PR and Marketing departments for Nintendo
are well chronicled. To me Splatoon 2 is worth five to ten dollars brand
new. Expect a full review in issue #124. As of right now I can not
recommend Splatoon 2 to anyone. Find something better to spend your
money on. Maybe a game like Knack II.
