AI-powered picks based on gameplay, mechanics & feel

Helldivers 2

Like Splatoon 2, Helldivers 2 throws you into chaotic, objective-based multiplayer battles, but swaps ink for bullets and vibrant arenas for war-torn planets, demanding teamwork and strategic positioning to overcome overwhelming odds.

Crackle Cradle

Crackle Cradle brings a similar blend of fast-paced action and platforming, but with a focus on precision and quick thinking in a more traditional arcade shooter format, offering intense, bite-sized challenges.

Planet Alpha

While not a shooter, Planet Alpha shares Splatoon 2's vibrant, alien aesthetic and challenging platforming, focusing on environmental puzzles and evasion rather than direct combat, demanding quick reflexes and precise movement.
