Finally got around to beating Splatoon 3's story mode.

A lot of fun the whole way through. I wish it played around with some more original concepts. Levels felt very similar to Octo Expansion (which isn't a bad thing!!!), but I wanted to experience something new. Final boss sequence was fantastic, but again, didn't feel too different from Octo. I found the aesthetic, and for a lack of a better term, "vibe", of Octo to be a lot more interesting than Alterna. I truly did feel like you were trapped in this psychedelic hell, which really made it stand out among all of Nintendo's other first-party experiences.

Oh yeah, and the multiplayer aspect of this game is great, too. Similar to the story mode, it doesn't feel that different than 2, but there's a lot of little things that when added up, make a big difference. The new weapons are fun, and I like no restriction on Salmon Run times. I wish there was a new ranked/casual mode instead of the card battle.
