Splatoon 3
This is a fun one. You wouldn’t think Nintendo’s colorful and eclectic paint-splattering shooter would come close to the white-knuckled ferocity of a Call of Duty game, but trust me, get in the right lobby with the right players and Splatoon 3 transforms into a COD-style Hardcore Team Deathmatch.
Some folks take Splatoon way too seriously, gunning for a high kill/death ratio as if that’s the point. But that fact alone, mistaking Splatoon 3‘s turf-inking objective for a kill-dominating one, makes the game feel right at home alongside all the other Call of Duty shooters. -LW
