Splatoon Raiders Isn’t the Switch 2 Co-op Hit It Needs

Gizmodo’s review of Splatoon Raiders — a solo- and co-op-focused Splatoon entry for Switch 2 — finds it repetitive and dull, with samey levels and a lackluster multiplayer experience. Despite charming Deep Cut characters and familiar Splatoon mechanics, the raid loop offers little variety or incentive to teamwork, making the game feel tacked-on and not a strong justification for Switch 2’s purchase alongside stronger titles like Donkey Kong Bananza and Pokemon Pokopia.
