Release Date: July 21, 2017
A continuation of a multiplayer-focused TPP shooter from 2015, developed for the Nintendo Switch console. Splatoon 2’s gameplay follows its predecessor and lets the players control Inklings – joyful human octopuses who fight using paint-based weapons. Those can be used not only to attack opponents, but also to paint the map – which is one of game’s objectives and allows increased movement speed and faster ammo regeneration.
Splatoon 2 for SWITCH is a sequel to 2015’s Splatoon, a third-person shooter that debuted on Wii U console. Nintendo developed production with multiplayer battles in mind, be it through local mode (TV and mobile) or through online network.
Gameplay of Splatoon 2 for SWITCH uses the same base as its predecessor. Once again players take control of Inklings – cheerful human octopuses who fight using paint-based weapons not only to attack opponents, but also to paint the map, which is one of game’s objectives. Characters move like normal humans, running and jumping, but they can also instantly dive into painted parts of an area. This lets them travel at faster speed and refill their ammunition.
New things include e.g. Splat Dualies weapon, which is a special double rifle, and a new move in form of the so-called Dodge Roll. There are also smaller novelties like more heroes and refreshed version of the old cast.
As far as its controls go, Splatoon 2 for SWITCH has been adapted to both Joy-Con and a Pro Controller (a more classic gamepad). It should be noted that both devices let players use gyroscope, which helps with aiming.
Splatoon 2’s visual on SWITCH aren’t much different from what the first game presented. Naturally, it looks slightly better, but there are no revolutionary changes.

Splatoon is a series of colorful shooters in which we view the action from a third-person perspective (TPP). During the gameplay we wield weapons spraying the terrain and opponents with paint of our team's color; in this way we eliminate opponents and gain valuable territory. The essence of the series is team-based online skirmishes, but individual titles also have single-player story modes.

Splatoon 2 is just an easy game to like. It's bright, cheery, and employs endless tricks in a constant quest to make you smile.
Eurogamer: by Martin Robinson
An improvement in nearly every way on one of Nintendo's finest games in years, Splatoon 2 is only let down by a lack of big new ideas.
