Splatoon Raiders: when Nintendo’s ink magic goes normal

TL;DR
Splatoon Raiders shifts the franchise toward a cooperative, gadget-driven experience but lands as a more pedestrian spin-off: solo play feels weaker, the story is minimal, and while the ink-based combat remains recognizable, the game lacks the main series’ charm, releasing July 23 for £41.99.
