Splatoon 3 is another incremental sequel in the franchise, but unlike its predecessor, serves very little purpose as a unique product. Yes, Splatoon 3 is quality and is the best game in the trilogy, but how much does saying that really matter when it is clearly so similar to Splatoon 2 that released half a decade before it. The single player campaign did entertain me, and the lore of these games have always been fascinating to me, but outside of that it doesn't feel very unique when compared to the Octo Expansion. Outside of the undeniably incredible new lobby, the multiplayer changes are interesting, however don't feel superior to what came before it, rather just different. I am honestly of the belief that a third Splatoon game would have benefited being reserved for a new system, but Splatoon 3 should still be entertaining for hardcore fans and newcomers.
