When the WiiU was unceremoniously sidelined by the Switch ,  began the grand effort of porting over every major game from the console to easily buff the Switch library with games that most people haven't played anyways. This effort resulted in a lot of "deluxe" versions of games that have more content but are still fundamentally the same title. However, Nintendo had so many ideas for their port of Splatoon that they ended up making it into a full-fledged sequel. After playing it myself, I think they added and replaced enough content to call it a new game , but when it comes down to it, this is really just another "deluxe" port. What I mean is, if you have played the original, you already know pretty much everything there is to know about Splatoon 2 . The competitive online portion of the game added some new weapon types and modified the controls a bit to make up for the lack of a second screen, but it is still largely the same as before. The story mode is c

As one of Nintendo 's first new IPs in a while, Splatoon was kind of a big deal, but as one of the only quality online multiplayer shooters on the WiiU , Splatoon was definitely a big deal. Touting a unique approach to multiplayer shooters where covering the ground in your team's color is more important than getting the most "kills," this game may not sound that appealing to the average Call of Duty addict.

Making use of the gamepad's gyro controls to facilitate keyboard-and-mouse level precision, and screen to make the necessary glances at the map a breeze, Splatoon felt like one of the most intuitively designed shooters of its era. When playing online, your goal is simple - using your ink-based-weapon loadout of choice

Save for Team Fortress 2 , online shooters have never really been my thing. However, Fortnite has held its ground as such a huge cultural phenomenon... and it's free. I had to give it a try at least once, and for a while, I was actually pretty interested. I'm not proud to say it, but I did buy the battle pass once, and I had some fun trying to complete the challenges it came with. However, the only time I was really enjoying myself with the game was when I would play online with my friends. Fortnite is a battle royale shooter with destructible environments, which allows players to harvest materials and build their own protective structures. This adds a nice layer of depth not present in other battle royale games, but I found it kind of difficult to learn, especially when I'm trying to dodge the bullets of 99 other people. Thus, most of my time was spent trying to sneak up on my opponents or trying to snipe them from a safe distance. Although I'm not great at the g
