Side Order is more of singleplayer Splatoon 3's good enough single player. The interesting parts of cyclical progression and random(ish) levels is counterbalanced by the conflicting choices in reward acquisition. That is to say, Side Order's reward currency is fastest to obtain in low-risk, low difficulty hack configurations, rather than the riskier, higher-difficulty option. There's also a lot of grinding for the reward currency, especially if you're quick to clear every palette. But it's still very cute in all of its sploony set-dressing, and you can't go too wrong with good ol' Splatoon gameplay.
