Splatoon

This game manages to take the simple concept of painting the environment and turns it into a fun multiplayer shooter. The story mode isn't half bad either with it getting really interesting near the end of the game. Most of the levels of the single player game are a bit easy so don't expect it to challenge you till near the end. The multiplayer was the true focus with a large assortment of costume pieces that will customize your inkling. Each piece of gear will give you different perks that'll let you gain a slight advantage depending on the perk. Like ninja squid which lets you hide in ink without giving your position away or something simple like damage up. Along with that this game also has a lot of different styles of game play depending on the type of weapon you take to the paint fight. Using the paint rollers/brush it's all about covering the map as much as possible compared to the charged weapons which is more about taking out opponents from long range.

Now this game does have downsides too like the lack of maps it had at launch. They've been slowing adding new ones which is nice to see each week. Single player wise after finishing the story it doesn't have much replay value at all unless you want to collect the diary pages which doesn't take very long. Still it manages to make up for that with the fact that the turf war mode is a fun time compared to the ranked mode. It's kinda silly but I don't like that I get super serious when playing ranked so turf war works better in my opinion. If your looking for a unique take on multiplexer and have a Wii U then pick up this game now. Stay Fresh!
