I finished the campaign long ago but I’m marking this as “finished” now because I just don’t play this game as much anymore.

I like Splatoon 3! I’m not super deep into competitive so maybe that’s why I don’t have many actual criticisms of the game. I like how the single player campaign was more like the Octo Expansion, it felt a lot more satisfying to complete, and I look forward to more DLC for this game! As for everything else, I am a bit disappointed we didn’t get any new ranked modes or ways to play other than tricolor, which I’m still not convinced is super balanced. Also, challenges are a neat concept, but they don’t seem to be available at convenient times for my time zone so I can’t comment much on them other than general frustration that we once again have a time locked mode. Going back to tricolor, it’s at least fun to have three teams! I’d love for this to be playable outside of splatfests though. Salmon Run being available 24/7 is a plus, but I’m wondering why that wasn’t a thing from the get go in 2! The catalog kept me playing every day, but now I feel like I’m playing just to complete it and not because I’m having fun with the game anymore… so I’m gonna consider it “done” here, and hop on for future splatfests.
