A splat in the right direction
- by Jim Norman
Splatoon 3 came out back in September and we’ve been having a great time with it ever since. While the list of tweaks and additions in this threequel was long, and the mechanics have never been smoother, there were some out there (us included, to an extent) who felt that the series’ third entry was good, but essentially more of the same goodness that we saw in Splatoon 2.
With the announcement of the game’s first major update and the beginning of Chill Season 2022, all eyes and tentacles have been on the Splatlands to find out whether Nintendo could keep the game swimming forwards or whether this ink would be drying up.
Chill Season is now upon us, and the result can’t really be said to be either one of the aforementioned scenarios. The additions are fun and plentiful (seriously, there are a lot of changes here — just check out the patch notes) but do they add anything really fresh?
