This being my first Splatoon game, I love the idea of playing more than actually playing. The music, graphics/art style, customization options, everything blends very well to set a super funky mood.
Unfortunately, the game itself sucks. I’m sure the story is great from everything else I’ve heard, but the multiplayer(the other half of the game) is excrutiating.
For PvP, assuming you’re even able to load into a game and not disconnect, the combat is frustrating. Time-to-kill is so short, you have very little time to react to being attacked. Sometimes it feels like it takes only a second or two to die. The PvE mode is fine. The enemy AI can be pretty obnoxious, but it’s not enough to keep me playing.
I don’t know what Splatoon could change to be more enjoyable for me. I think the style of the gameplay is just something I can’t get with. I love the looks and aesthetic of Splatoon, I just wish it wasn’t so aggravating to play.
