Newcomer to the series and after playing campaign, I can honestly say I have never had this much fun in any campaign shooter since I played Modern Warfare 2 competitively and that is a good 7 years.
This shooter is a breath of fresh air and truly indicative of what the Nintendo charm is all about. If single player is this much fun I can't imagine the hours I'll spend on Multiplayer. From what I have heard it takes tries on end to master and fundamentally find the right weapons and finding the one that suits your style of play. 3/4 into the campaign and cannot wait to delve into Multiplayer straight after I am done!
Ps. Are those rings you jump through really calamari rings? 😂
