Have a self imposed rule on my favorite games list of one per franchise because otherwise there would probably be 4 Zelda games on there

I think what really threw people about this was the combo of the controls absolutely having a huge learning curve combined with Platinum's "the first playthrough is the tutorial" style design, you do both at once and the average player is going to be left with a horrible first impression. That said, even when you get over that hump there isn't a ton here. Moments of greatness with some genuinely fun bosses and setpieces hampered by a lot of middling levels and mechanics that don't feel fully fleshed out. Also the fact that this is ANOTHER Star Fox retelling is extremely lame and yes I will blame Miyamoto for that one
Honestly not bad, although it feels incredibly cheap/chintzy for a first party Nintendo game and never really feels like it builds to anything. The core gameplay concept is pretty fun though!
This could have stood to be a bit harder and have a bit more variety with its roguelike elements (only 4 objective types seems strange honestly) but this is still a ton of fun and just reinforced for me how much I love the world of Splatoon
