If you're the kind of person who enjoys multiplayer shooters of any sort where deathmatch is the only mode you enjoy and you strive for that high kills/death ratio, Splatoon isn't the game for you.
If you enjoy silly combat with focus on team work, Splatoon is a great game to get into. The rotation of maps coupled with the randomization of who's going to team makes for a fun experience. And while the lack of voice chat may be a bother, it breeds a dynamic that requires you to stay on your toes in the fray. You must proactively be a team player. See a spot of the map that nobody's paying attention to? Be that guy and go snag it.
Despite the lack of content (which honestly, most servers on shooters boil down to a few maps and game modes), Splatoon is a great fun and it has a pretty good single player part that works well as a distraction.
A refreshing change of pace in the world of multiplayer-based shooters

The only bummer is the Amiibo locked content.
