We’ve gone live with our Splatoon review in progress, in which Burns says positive things about Nintendo’s new IP.
He concludes: “We’ll have to wait until launch to see how it performs out in the world, but so far Splatoon is by turns brilliant and frustrating, a Nintendo classic and a missed opportunity.”
Elsewhere there’s a mix of scores and reviews in progress.
The Guardian – “joins Mario Kart as one of the finest multiplayer games available”
The Jimquisition – 8/10
IGN – Review in Progress – “Nintendo’s take on the third-person shooter is refreshingly original, with lots of impressive tools and skillful mobility.”
GameSpot – Review in Progress – “my experience has ranged from delightful to frustrating.”
Nintendo Life – Review in Progress – “Splatoon is easily the freshest shooter in years and delivers superbly on all fronts; we have an inkling you’ll love this.”
Polygon – 8.5/10
