Splatoon is all about staying fresh, and despite its lack of content somehow manages to remain just as appealing after twenty hours as it was in its first. Its core gameplay is so unwaveringly solid that it’s bound to only become better as more maps, weapons and modes are released in the months after launch, but even now Splatoon might just be Wii U’s long-awaited killer app.

7,8/10
