Splatoon Raiders has climbed to seventh place among the highest user-rated games on Metacritic less than a week after launch.
The Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive holds a 9.3 out of 10 average user score based on 464 ratings. This places it ahead of The Witcher 3 expansion Hearts of Stone and The Last of Us, though behind Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Resident Evil Requiem.
Professional reviews gave the game an 8.1 score. User comments include praise such as “Absolute Cinema” and “The future GOTY of 2026!” One reviewer noted the title feels like a bullet heaven arcade shooter with surprising depth.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild sits at 95th in the same user rankings. The current position reflects input mainly from dedicated fans, and the ranking may shift as more reviews arrive.
