Splatoon Raiders reviewed by Logan Plant on Nintendo Switch 2. Splatoon Raiders is an amazing action RPG with an expertly executed loop. It has fantastic new powers with crazy upgrades that are worth chasing, tough battles that force you to put care into your build in order to overcome them, and a huge variety of fun level types to jump between. The pacing, balance, and difficulty curve are very impressive: I always had to work to get better, but none of the campaign ever felt like grinding or needless padding. Raiders stays fresh by constantly introducing deeper ways to customize my abilities that spark new ideas for creative combinations. I reached the credits more than 20 hours ago, but thanks to an overpowered endgame worth coming back for and the option to seamlessly play with friends online, I’ve got plenty of raiding left to do. This is the best Splatoon campaign yet and one of the top games on Switch 2.

Omg a game reviewer who not only is good at the game, but actually enjoys it
My hype for this game has only gone up since it was announced. It feels like every Splatoon gave just keeps evolving and getting better
let's gooo a 9!!!!!
Mad respect for IGN for putting the score in the thumbnail so people who just wanna know the score don’t have skip to the end
What I love about the Switch 2 right now is the fact that, a lot of the games Nintendo have been releasing are games that are just pure fun. It's just a different feeling. Whether the game reviews a 7, 8, or 9, in the end, the experience is just great and a lot of fun. Edit: I've gotten a couple of comments of "that's how Nintendo has always been". And I completely agree, but I figured I'd edit my comment because I'll probably get more of those If I don't do an edit. But yeah, I agree about Nintendo being all about fun. But there is just something that feels a little different with the games released on Switch 2 so far, maybe it's the polish, the quality, I don't know. But not only are the games fun, but they are also nostalgic in some way that we just don't get in many games today, even though they are great.
Logan is great at Splatoon! Awesome gameplay!
Switch 2 getting some good games
experimental switch 2 exclusive games have the appeal and wierdness of early access indies on steam but AAA in budget and talent. they are almost always worth it and fun.
It was such a smart idea to release a spin off game to get more people in the series, I mostly play Splatoon 3 multiplayer but it’s nice to get new people into the series.
Can finally get into this franchise. it looks like a good time.
Damn, I might be getting my first Splatoon game
Logan Plant has planted himself as the Nintendo reviewer de jour of IGN
They started putting the rating in the thumbnail to take away the guys job who would always say the rating in the comments haha
Games like this is what makes Switch 2 the best value in console gaming for years to come!
Great review. IGN really have been putting out fantastic reviews these days. Glad to see them turning things around
The entire game is on the cartridge! 👀 hurrah 🙌
Yes, I'm so excited right now. This is going to be huge.
Cheap game and on physical cartridge and reviewed extremely well. This is why Nintendo is king.
never played splatoon but this feels like the one that might pull me in
Logan is such a great asset to IGN. Love his Switch reviews.
