[Thoughts] Ratchet & Clank Got Me Into Splatoon

You may be thinking.. How? I will answer that in this blog

Around the end of 2016 I had been looking for a game like Ratchet & Clank. This was because at the time I didn't have a PlayStation 3 or PlayStation 4 console but I wanted to play the newer Ratchet & Clank games. It had been a while since I played a Ratchet & Clank game but I remember loving them as a kid. So, to ease the wait of possibly getting a PlayStation console, I wanted to play a game that was some what like Ratchet & Clank. So, I started looking around online at third person shooter games on the Wii U.

Splatoon was a game I had heard of at the time and one of my friends was playing it actively, but I didn't know anything about it really. I tried the demo on the Wii U eshop and liked the look of the characters but wasn't too into it, though the demo was very basic and only offered the tutorial. A few months later, Splatoon 2 was about to release and they had a splatfest world premiere demo coming up. This was the perfect chance for me to try it... properly. When I played this demo, not only did the personality and charm of the characters and world remind me of Ratchet & Clank, but also, the multiplayer reminded me a little bit of the multiplayer in Ratchet & Clank 3. On top of this, the cool weapon variety was the icing on the cake. This was the start of my intrigue in the series. It was a perfect fit for that itch that needed scratching.

Since playing the splatfest world premier demo, I went on to play the whole series starting with 2 on release day. Even today I am still enjoying Splatoon a lot with the third entry in the series. I am grateful that I got into Splatoon because it's a lot of fun and is very unique. In the time since, I have also played all the mainline Ratchet & Clank games and honestly, I like both series equally now. They both fulfil different roles with Ratchet and Clank being a single player game whereas Splatoon a multiplayer game primarily, though Splatoon does have fun story modes too.

If you are a fan of ratchet and clank and haven't played Splatoon I would highly recommend. I would also encourage the opposite for Splatoon fans. Both games will forever hold a special place in my heart and I am so glad I am a fan of both of these charming games.

That's it for this blog, stay connected!
