    If you don't own a Switch and enjoy Bomberman then Super Bomberman R Shiny Edition is certainly worth picking up. Even though it doesn't improve everything from the original release, there's so much content here that you're bound to have a blast.

    Super Bomberman R for the PlayStation 4 comes with all the available content that has been released to the other platforms, accompanied with an exclusive skin for the console and guarantees that players are going to have a blast while playing with the many available modes the game offers. Previous owners of the Switch version should be careful, though, as this version does not offer any new content, thus lacking the ability to give a re-purchase incentive to potential buyers.

    I used to play Bomberman Party all day. I had huge expectations for this game but unfortunately, it did not deliver. It was still a good gameI used to play Bomberman Party all day. I had huge expectations for this game but unfortunately, it did not deliver. It was still a good game but I was looking for something more. Something that could emulate the fun it was playing Bomberman on the PS1. It might have not lived to my monumental expectations but it was still a pretty good Bomberman game to play for a few hours.

    Super Bomberman R is undeniably fun to play with friends or family but on your own, it is pretty boring. The bots are super dumb and the mode story isn't very interesting. That's it. It's worth buying if you find it cheap enough but the content isn't that great. Some of the characters are fun to play as but it gets old fast. Another major issue found in this game is its dead community. There is no one playing this online so you have to play with bots and in this game, they're just too easy to read. They're AI is ridiculous.

    If you have someone to play this with online or local, I still recommend giving it a try but only if you find it dirt-cheap as it lacks content to keep you hooked for long hours. It could also be a good gift for your kids/younger siblings as its simple gameplay is easy to master even for kids.

    The game is way overpriced and you should for sure get it on a huge sale instead of buying for full price. Local multiplayer is a lot of fun,The game is way overpriced and you should for sure get it on a huge sale instead of buying for full price. Local multiplayer is a lot of fun, but there could and should be more options for customization like amount of items droped, the rate at which the different types are dropped and so on to make it possible to bring more variety into the matches. Gameplay itself is fine but lacks variety. Overall it is a barebone bomberman yet fun bomber game that offers not too much for lot of money asked for. Also it misses a way to unlock all ingame content with a shortcut, not everyone has time and motivation to grind through the singleplayer to unlock all of the ingame content. Full Review »
