Splatoon Raiders Shows The Series Should Have Always Been A Looter Shooter

Splatoon Raiders Shows The Series Should Have Always Been A Looter Shooter https://ift.tt/rIRA257 Splatoon is a Nintendo series that I've enjoyed well enough, but fleetingly. Even with solid shooting mechanics and a playful gimmick revolving around quickly traversing paint-soaked battlefields, the competitive multiplayer often failed to hold my interest beyond a few weeks.

"We call it pseudo-procedural because it's not like Minecraft where everything's being generated off a set of pure mathematical heuristics," Levine explained in an interview with IGN.
