I have really liked Splatoon ever since it first got announced. I wasn't allowed to play shooters as a kid, and this is kind of as close as I was going to get.
The idea of squid-humans that shoot ink at each other to win games was also just a very compelling concept to me as a kid I guess.
And it sort of remained compelling? I still love Splatoon to this day and I love the direction the series has taken.
My favorite weapons as of writing are the Tri-Stringer and Recycled Brella, ironically two weapons that did not exist in previous games, but also that is understandable because as a long time player, I crave weapons that give me new interesting ways to play.
And these weapons sure are interesting.
From a design perspective, Splatoon is also kind of mind-boggling.
The amount of charm literally fucking oozing from every imaginable corner is inspiring.
I can talk about the music, lore, customization, characters, weapons, meta history, for literally hours
I wont. But.
