Big Man and Smallfry are the best
Some fascinating changes and tweaks to a rock solid base
Story mode is the best Splatoon has ever been
Tableturf Battle is only available offline at launch
Everything but story mode is locked behind initial online battles
Big Man isn't on
screen the entire time

Review Splatoon 3 by KeenGamer
Solid refined gameplay that builds on everything present in previous entries
Great offerings for both Solo and Multiplayer and provides things to do offline
Incredible soundtrack with rockin' beats for all
Plenty of fun weapons that feel powerful and sound powerful
Lots of content for both Casual and Hardcore players
Stylized and fresh visuals
Feels unfinished at times with small bugs that are more common than they should be
Online can be unstable with disconnects and communication errors all over
Map layouts can be questionable and not fun

Review Splatoon 3 by Nintendo Life
The same squid-tasctic formula, but better than ever
Overhauled lobby and menu system is a joy
Single player is extensive, fun, and cinematic when it demands it
More variety in Salmon Run
The promise of so much more to come with future updates
Makes Splatoon 2 feel moribund in comparison
Single player levels don't reflect the theme of their island
Missing that 'big new feature' fans deserve

Review Splatoon 3 by MKAU Gaming
Brings back everything that made the previous two games great
Wide variety of customisation options and weapons new and old
Variety of different multiplayer modes
Classic Nintendo single player story mode
Excellent, smooth and responsive online play
A weapon to suit any playstyle
Plays and looks great in docked or handheld mode
Create exciting, intense and hilarious moments
Just pure fun
Solid third entry in the series
Tutorial forces motion controls
Matchmaking can sometimes struggle to find a match
Players disconnecting cancels the whole match plus any rewards and progress everyone else could?ve had

Story mode is an improvement from previous two entries.
New Tableturf Battle mode is fun.

Much-needed quality of life improvements from previous game.
Story mode is still pretty basic & not as strong as Octo Expansion.
No new ranked modes at launch.
Might not be enough new content at launch for casual returning fans.

Review Splatoon 3 by GamingBolt
Strong aesthetic and soundtrack
incredibly brilliant core concept executed to near perfection
very addictive and joyously fun to play
very welcoming to newcomers and those who typically tend to stay away from the genre
filled with a LOT of content at launch (and more will come)
a surprisingly strong campaign
several much-needed improvements to QoL from previous games
The amount of network connectivity issues is insane and frankly unacceptable for a paid game on a paid service
map design feels unbalanced for a lot of the modes it is repurposed for
a glut of unnecessary currencies and progression systems

Streetwear and graffiti-pop visuals make an impression
Online persistance ensures that the online stays fresh
Easy-to-pick-up-and-play style shooting with room for a skill ceiling
Story mode is varied and constantly pushes the player outside of their comfort zone
Salmon Run is no longer time-gated and is 24-7
Without a subscription, only story mode is playable
Not much of a leap forward compared to the prior two games
