Game: Super Bomberman R
Developer: Konami, HexaDrive
Platform: Nintendo Switch
Release: Out now
Price: US $50 / £45 / AU $90
GameSpot -- 7/10
"In almost every respect, Super Bomberman R plays it safe with its tried-and-true formula. The story mode is short (less than two hours at most), but fun with some creative boss battles and plenty of nostalgic throwbacks. The heart of the game--the battle mode--is a welcome retro rush, and decades since the franchise debuted, it's still one of the best party games around." -- Jason D'Aprile
IGN -- 6.2/10
"Super Bomberman R's multiplayer versatility and boss-filled story mode are laudable retreads of classic gameplay, but its depth and customizability are disappointing. By contrast, the aforementioned Bomberman Live was a brilliant, fully featured Bomberman for Xbox 360 that came out 10 years ago, and it only cost $10. It's reasonable to expect a bit more from a $50 Bomberman game in 2017." -- Ryan McCaffrey
Game Informer -- 5/10
"With a skippable story mode, a poorly implemented in-game currency system, and shallow multiplayer offerings, Super Bomberman R is not worth your time. It's a better multiplayer game than a single-player game, but it's not a particularly good multiplayer game either." -- Brian Shea
Destructoid -- 7/10
"It's Bomberman, man. It feels like an arcade game with a $50 price tag. The campaign isn't as strong as it could be, but there's enough here to keep the series going until Konami can muster up a little more for the next iteration." -- Chris Carter
