WellPlayedJul 202610/10You know you've hit gold when your biggest criticism of a game is that you just wanted more. Between the fast-paced, technical gameplay, the depth of the build mechanics, and the irreverent design that underpins the Splatoon series, this is an experience that's shockingly hard to fault. Go play it.

IGNLogan PlantJul 20269/10Splatoon Raiders is an incredibly well-designed action RPG with an expertly executed loop. Its deep customization, challenging battles, and sheer variety make it the best Splatoon campaign yet and one of the top games on Switch 2.

Tom's GuideAnthony Spadafora Jul 20264.5/5 starsSplatoon Raiders successfully trades competitive PvP for an addictive, looter-shooter loop packed with bite-sized raids, deep crafting, and thrilling co-op. While a few late-game missions hit mild repetition, the top-tier movement, gorgeous Switch 2 visuals, and rock-solid 60 fps performance keep the momentum going strong. Whether you're playing solo or with friends, it's a phenomenal spin-off that no Splatoon fan should miss. $59.99 at Amazon Check Best Buy

Metro GameCentralDavid JenkinsJul 20266/10Salmon Run remains one of the great co-op experiences of the modern age but only a minimal effort has been expended in turning it into a single-player game, as Splatoon Raiders struggles to justify its existence.
