Splatoon Raiders beats Zelda as Nintendo’s top user-rated game on Metacritic
Fans have made Splatoon Raiders one of Metacritic’s highest user-rated games, even as critics give it an 81 score and sales data remain limited.
- Splatoon Raiders currently holds a 9.3 user score on Metacritic, placing it alongside highly rated titles like Silent Hill and Resident Evil Requiem as fans of the Splatoon series rally behind the new spin-off.
- Critics have been more reserved with Splatoon Raiders, which holds an average score of 81 out of 100 on Metacritic and has not cracked the platform's top 60 list despite strong fan enthusiasm.
- According to a Nintendo Life poll, nearly 50% of respondents rated Splatoon Raiders an "excellent" 9/10, with almost 25% awarding a perfect score, though the game has only 802 user reviews versus 1,500+ for earlier entries.
- Despite the summer drought, Splatoon Raiders became the top-selling game in the market last week, contrasting with previous Splatoon entries that hold lower user scores due to perceived lack of innovation.
- In this single-player adventure, players venture into the mysterious Spirhalite Islands alongside Deep Cut members Shiver, Frye, and Big Man, wielding an Exploration Bot to battle enemy Salmonids and search for treasure.
