Just came back to Splatoon after 7 years

Discussion

So yesterday i was bored and i had nothing to do so i decided to use my free week of nintendo online to play splatoon 3 and honestly i was surprised by how much the game has changed(i‘m not saying it’s bad i think it became better).

A bit of information about me before i say anything about it:i was lv 50 and rank S- on splatoon 1 and i 100% completed every single player campaign in Splatoon 1,2 and 3.Also i‘m not english but i will still try to use the names of weapons or others in english.

So when i started i didn’t expect much, but a lot has changed:the way stores work(expecially armand’s one for wich you need those licence things) and that guy who changes the abilities on your clothes(before you didn’t need the shards things to change it).The new stages feel less complicated and more challenging at the same time but they shouldn’t have thouched old stages because those were already good. The amount of weapons has also increased with the different variations but they also eliminated some old weapons (ex:wasabi splattershot) and also added new classes and the variations of those feel different from others giving different experiences(ex splatana wiper and splatana stamper are really different and the same for tri-stringer and Reef-Lux).Now you can also see the health of the enemies and you can become an anime protagonist(the aura)if you get 3 kills in a row.

Honestly the game has become better but is a bit confusing if you haven’t played it in a while.
