I have played the Splatoon series nonstop ever since it came out back in 2015. Splatoon is a game created by Nintendo to be played on the Nintendo Wii U. Splatoon is a third-person shooter that revolves around humanoid creatures called inklings that can turn into "kids" or "squids". In kid form, inklings can shoot ink to cover the ground or use it to "splat" (kill) other inklings. In squid form, inklings can hide in their ink and swim faster than they normally would run. I honestly loved this game because I don't really like super violent shooters, but shooters are my favorite type of game. For a lot of kids who were my age at the time, Splatoon was a fun experience without all the blood and gore. Splatoon was very empty when it first came out and there was barely anything to do. Nintendo fixed this problem once they recognized the popularity of the game. From the original version of the game to the most recent version, a whopping 58 weapons have been added on top of the original 30, 11 new stages were added on top of the original 5, and 2 new modes have come out on top of the original 2. If I were to rate Splatoon at the beginning of its lifespan, I would give it a 4/10 for creativity and appeal, but rating Splatoon after all the updates, I would give it a 9/10 for constantly added content and replayability. Overall Splatoon was a great and fun game to play after all or most of the updates had happened.

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is a battle royale shooter game for PC and Xbox One. PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is a pretty long name so I will refer to it as PUBG for short. In PUBG, 100 players parachute off of a plane into different locations on one large island. The player has no weapons when he or she lands so they have to loot the villages and towns for weapons, armor, and vehicles. As the game progresses, there will be a big storm that slowly closes in on a circle every 2 minutes. Every time the storm starts moving, the safe zone will be even smaller forcing more players to get eliminated until the last person standing wins. This game was probably the biggest release of 2017 with over 20 million copies sold. This is not the first battle royale shooter title however; the director of the game worked on another battle royale game called H1Z1 that released September 2016. PUBG is still in early access and has many problems:
