Hard to find details, but the last one felt like a serious bait&switch if you don't feel like buying and maintaining an online (NSO) account.
Yes, believe it or not, there are a lot of us who don't like the hassles and creep-factor of our kids playing online

Most of the fun is behind the online subscription though.

And yes the game is very multiplayer heavy. I'm usually a physical game collector but I buy the Splatoon games digitally because I figure once they shut down the servers there won't be any real reason to come back to it so I'm not really worried about game preservation.

- Single player is not as interesting as previous games.
- Some of the good maps in splatoon 2 are not available but new ones are added a few times a year.
- The three way splat fest choices feel contrived.
That said...
- Weapon options are fantastic
- Salmon Run (4 player coop) has gotten better.
- Splatfests are not the only timed events. Big Run is where salmon run takes over one of the normal maps for a weekend. Eggstra Work is a salmon run where there are 5 rounds (rather than 3) and it is not randomized so you can learn where enemies spawn and earn lots of eggs. There are also special challenges where you have to win a certain number of matches using specific gear and salmon runs where you get access to special over powered weapons.
While the game does have some issues, there is a lot more to do in splatoon 3 and overall the various game modes (except single player) are more fun.
