Splatoon Raiders preview: Switch 2 shooter is messy single-player fun

After riffing on the same ideas for three games, Splatoon Raidersis set to shake up Nintendo’s multiplayer ink shooter for the first time in a decade. It’s billed as the series’ first true single-player game, one that remixes some of the best ideas from modes like Splatoon 3’s PVE Salmon Run into something new. Based on that pitch, I thought I had a pretty good idea of what to expect when I sat down to play around 90 minutes of it.
