"You know you've hit gold when your biggest criticism of a game is that you just wanted more. Between the fast-paced, technical gameplay, the depth of the build mechanics, and the irreverent design that underpins the Splatoon series, this is an experience that's shockingly hard to fault. Go play it."

Read full review →"Splatoon Raiders is peak character design and one of the best looking Nintendo Switch 2 games to date. As said before, each level is unique and the graphics beautiful. The base itself is very detailed, even when you ink around a workstation and then use the station, the ink is still visible. The workstations themselves have a lot of detailed parts and items laying around giving it that lived-in feel. Overall the world detail, Salmonid visual upgrades, and the equipment you hold all look great and give Splatoon Raiders a top spot graphically on the Switch 2."

This bold move adds dimension to the Splatoon universe and sets the stage for further spin-offs. Raiders, alone or with friends, is a vivid, satisfying, and shockingly rich adventure that fits alongside Nintendo's best recent releases."
