I love this series, so much that I want it to be its absolute best, and while this is a great upgrade from the previous titles, it still has its faults.
The maps have gotten worse overall by being smaller, having fewer routes to flank and also by not using the new awesome movement mechanics at all which is such a shame! While the Anarchy modes are all good, I wish they’d come up with something new since it’s just more of the same. Getting the "Battle Pass" for free is based and is how everyone should be doing it, although unlocking items takes a little too long for me and gives me this wacky FOMO by not collecting everything. The connection is unstable and frequently disconnects you or others, even while on ethernet and on the most stable connections (not to mention the 15hz pull rate doesn’t help at all either).
But aside from that is a game with great personality, a great story, fun Splatfests I like to join and is overall still the best time I've had with a shooter. Hope the DLC’s just as great, and the next title even better!
