Dec 2, 2020Ponpu is weird, wacky and regularly wonderful. It’s a slick take on Bomberman that understands what made the original games so great and evolves it for the modern day. It’s a shame that the multiplayer modes are undermined by ineffective identifying marks that make it difficult to see who’s who. Thankfully a decent sized and suitably challenging single player campaign makes up for that.

Playstation Official Magazine UKJan 8, 2021The five-to-six-hours-long single-player mode is certainly challenging, with some very well-designed boss fights, but the main maze-like levels feel basic and dreary. It’s a slog. Ponpu’s clearly best suited to local party play, but… well, it would be a pretty strange party if you got this one out. [Issue#184, p.89]
