Top 10 Best Things About Splatoon
Do I have to explain? I go online every day now. My new schedule: Smash Bros, food, the essentials, SPLATOON, sleep. Leveling up, getting a better rank, buying new stuff. This is easily my third favorite game of the year so far. That's for another list at the end of the year.
I think this one was obvious, but if this game only let you fight AI, it wouldn't be one-fifth as good as it is. Also, AI can't start squid parties when they realize they can't win.
I love this story. It is the best story in a shooter. Now for flame wars (I cast flame shield). As of this writing, I'm finding the Sunken Scrolls. The final boss - I won't spoil it, but I'll explain it in a future list though.
I already beat every level in it, but it was pretty fun! Fighting an octopus army, finding hidden scrolls, and saving catfish with power in them called Zapfish is pretty fun.
I didn't know something similar to this was on the list. That's why I put it. Plus, it has a great story.
There are so many things to buy: shoes, weapons, clothes, hats...
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY COINS FROM ONLINE! Man, this is an amazing way to expand a game.
Comments: What, he's joking, right?
Me: I'm serious.
A minigame made the list. While waiting for online, I was either on my phone or on Squid Jump. Most of the time, it was Squid Jump.
I wish it showed other players in the lobby your score. It'd be cool to try to beat each other's high scores between matches.
What is better than buying content to make the game better? Getting it for free, that's what. New weapons like the N-Zap 85, or new stages like the Bluefin Depot. Thanks, Nintendo, you rock.
In most shooters, the way to win online is by shooting things to death. Here, you claim more land by shooting the ground with your color ink. You can kill your enemies, but it doesn't count toward your score. Amazing, just plain amazing.
Killing is useful, but not as much as painting more than the other team.
Did anyone know they are Agents 1 and 2?
Where do I begin? Well, it looks beautiful. Not only that, but Callie and Marie are there. Inkopolis connects everything you do - the single player, online, shopping, and even more. Man, Nintendo, you are killing it.
I like how much detail there is in these games. In the cafe in Splatoon 1, there are squids and an actual menu inside the window, with complete scenery. It's pretty impressive that Nintendo put in that much detail.
The map is really useful. It tells you where your enemies are. It tells you where your allies are. It allows you to use your abilities like the Super Jump or the Inkstrike if you have it.
It tells you what to do, but in a good way. Most games hold your hand throughout the story. Looking at you, Fi - still like you though. It really gives you an amazing experience.
The Newcomers
The best thing about Splatoon 1 and 2 is when everyone Booyahs at the start of a match, and you know everybody wants to be there.
This is one of the most creative games in video game history.
Who thought of humanoid squids having a war-based sport about shooting ink and fighting against their rival species, which are octopuses?
I think they are pretty cute. I love drawing them and making my own Splatoon comics. I really love this game! It's so addicting!
The sad thing is that they are underrated.
Yes, though there's a lot to take in. There are so many weapons. Then you've got the abilities and subs. Ah...
Nothing like getting 23 splats in ranked!
I love Entropical and Bomb Blush Rush, but only the Smash Bros. Ultimate remix. The music is so great that it should be on the radio. Splatoon is basically a shooting game for girls (and boys).
In my opinion, some of the best music Nintendo has to offer is in this game.
I really think the colors are awesome.
