was introduced to this game thru fanart and cosplay and was pretty let down at first. i expected a lot more horror value out of this game and was very disappointed at how cop-out it felt. just desperately hitting all those analog horror cliches trying to evoke Something and it didn't ever work. and the story has a lot of holes it didn't fill that could've made it scarier (exhibit a: the completely unexplained lanky spider creature that "jumpscares" you during bad endings). despite this, the game has a cute set of main characters and very good replay value. i think it gets better as you play it more thanks to the fact that there's so many different routes and easter eggs to find instead of it just being a dreadful exact repeat every time. and i think the live action portions were a very cool addition! if the game had based itself with more of that i think that would've upped the creepiness factor. overall i'm very 50/50 with how i feel about this game

oh my god! another one! and they just keep getting better! i'm really glad the popularity skyrocketed with this game, giving the series the love it deserves. once again just improving something that already felt great to play and making it feel that much better. squid rolls are so fun! and this was the best story mode of all the games hands down. brought the challenge of octo expansion combined with a great plot tying the previous 2 games together. deducting half a star for the abysmal online connection problems. i hope so badly for more splat1 maps to come back, more new music, and i can't wait for the dlc!

the way i have such little memory of this game. for reasons i will not disclose. but what i do remember is the EXCITEMENT for NEW SPLATOON!!!!! this one did not have my favorite story mode, and they regrettably did later add """main power up""" aka damage boosts to the weapons that didn't need it, but other than that this game brought lots of improvements to the already loved first installment. cant tell you how great the additions of vertical roller swings and hold charge for snipers were. and i loved the experimental splatfest maps! and the music!!!! still have the instagram username ripentry since the beta version of the song came out. octo expansion in a separate review.

WHAT A RELEASE!!!! i am a veteran to the series, having bought and played each game from day 1, and i have to say none of them are ever going to match the FUN that was had with this game. some may say it was just the huge excitement of a new title for the first time in forever, but it DELIVERED. i even made some lifelong friends through this game. anyways. great art style, great music, fun story mode, fun online. half a star deduction because hacking was a thing on the wii u (i was one of them. sorry) and it was absolutely busted with stackable damage/defense boosts.

WOOHOO BABY! YEAHH!!! rodney back with another BANGER! if you thought simon says rhythm games could only be done with lyrics get ready to be proven wrong. same shit i have to say with the rest of the line, but this one has that extra punch of difficulty in my opinion! i feel like ptr2 took a page out of this book in realizing that a cute game with cute music doesn't have to be overly easy. this could also be because i am not a native playstationer and the buttons get jumbled for me. but i never said i was good at video james. ok? i just like the funny shapes and colors on my screen amen

my beloved my baby my lovely. i give you a half star dock purely because compared to the second game there is much less replay value. revolutionary rhythm game, i promise one day i'm coming out with a simon says rhythm game too. i have had this series as my special interest for a decade now probably. such a lovably unique art style from rodney greenblat, i honestly wish so badly we had games that people experimented with more like they did on the ps1-ps2. but regardless. once again sparing you all. love parappa forever
