Main Story log (8.5/10)
I liked it more than Octo Expansion overall. The faster paced combat and stealth oriented levels are still my favourites but the platformy ones were more enjoyable this time for me.
But lord, Splatoon story mode's just need lots more enemy types / variety. It's like the main thing preventing them from being something so much greater. Nearly every enemy is some generic Octarian variant we've seen a bunch in previous story modes.
That and having an overworld with more things to do would go a long ways. Alterna is a vibe but none of the Sites besides that one with a bunch of rails really feel that different to be in and explore. Of course the detail in each Site is pretty good, and the buildup to each boss at the top is well done. I just feel like some things are missing.
The diversity, overall design and game feel of the levels in Octo Expansion and Return of the Mammalians are more than appreciable at this point; but the lack of enemy variety is just the main thing I want to see fixed in the Splatoon 3 Expansion.
