Inside surveyed readers on Splatoon Raiders, the Nintendo Switch 2 entry that drops the series' usual PvP battles in favor of solo and cooperative PvE play. The site collected 553 votes across three satisfaction levels.
The strongest response, at 48.5%, was that a PvE-exclusive Splatoon works well. A further 31.1% said the game met their expectations. The lowest tier, 'This one was a bit lacking,' still drew 20.4%, roughly one in five voters.
One respondent praised the game as a roguelike shooter type with deep replay value. Inside reads the overall split as evidence that the spin-off's different direction found broad acceptance, even as a share of players missed the traditional PvP focus.
