Splatoon Raiders: The Kotaku Review

Kotaku says Splatoon Raiders is Nintendo’s first big mission-based Splatoon single-player game, and a generally fun, substantial spin-off.

The review praises the varied gameplay, boss fights, and finale as highlights that make the campaign worth playing.

It criticizes the repeated environments, thin fashion and music options, and the way Salmonids and broader lore are handled.

Overall, Kotaku finds it enjoyable but uneven, especially in how it balances the series’ style, tone, and worldbuilding.
