    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 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.    … Expand

    Super Bomberman R there’s not much here
    Super Bomberman R is a puzzle game featuring a 3 hour long story mode and not much else…
    The game tells the story of the bombermen and ladies setting out to stop black hole and the 5 Dastardly bombers... you can play the game on multiple difficulty settings...

    Super Bomberman R is a puzzle game featuring a 3 hour long story mode and not much else…
    The game tells the story of the bombermen and ladies setting out to stop black hole and the 5 Dastardly bombers...
    you can play the game on multiple difficulty settings...
    The campaign takes places across 5 different worlds, each dedicated to one of the dastardly bombers... here you’ll be clearing challenges to work your way to the boss of that world...
    These challenges can vary from defeat all of the enemies, to find hidden keys, lead the stranded bombers to safety, and throw switches...
    And none of this is really challenging or engaging…
    it’s all sortve mindless…
    you start by choosing your character at the start of a chapter and you just drop bombs... these bombs will destroy objects in your place as well as take out enemies, you’ll find pickups to increase your speed for example or the amount of bombs you’re able to carry and drop…
    but you use these rules of bomb dropping and enemy slaying to complete these tasks…
    and none of the levels really get too challenging to solve or even though provoking.. There are a few... especially in the ice levels towards the end... but they are far too few and far in between... I would’ve liked having to use my brain more like I did in these ice levels as I’m sliding around like the caves in a Pokémon game… but for the most part all 3 hours of this game really remains the same... so it for the most part just feels like you’re going through the motions...
    it is possible to die, and you will a lot from blowing yourself up or enemies getting you, but you are able to spend gems to continue… gems earned both from completing chapters as well as in multiplayer…
    and at the end of these chapters there is again a boss battle.. These are probably the best moments of the game where you’re trying to trap your opponent and hit them bit ha bomb to then go against them in their final form to unlock the next stage…. These moments before the final show down do offer a bit of challenge and are better than the boss battle show downs themselves...
    Outside of the campaign there is a multiplayer mode where you’re facing 4 opponents to try and take each other out... be the last bomber standing…
    you can play locally as well as online, but I found it to be impossible to find enough players online to get any matches either ranked or unranked.. So unfortunately bomber man doesn’t realistically go beyond its 3 hour campaign which is a shame... sure you can grind for cash to unlock the many characters... but for what?
    Online is a ghost town.

    I do not know why i like this game but i do. It's fun to play online and the story mode is super fun. The puzzle combat has a nice difficulty curve. The coop is very fun to play with friends. The balancing is a little wonky. The Story mode gets a little boring at times.

    A horrible and terrible looking campaign really brings this game down. The maps don't make any sense, there is a lot of 'pollution' in the graphics. Luckily, the couch multiplayer is as amazing as always and fun as hell, a shame that the online component feels so empty. A game that really could use cross play with all platforms.

    The story mode it's too short and the level design is confusing due how hard is too differentiate the heights due the bad unity engine usage. Also the infinite spawn points of enemies
    destroys every sense of logic and makes levels boring due the trial and error mechanic and continuous deaths (only the 3,8% of the players have finished the game on normal).

    On the other hand the music is really good and the ending JPop theme performed by Hitomi Harada is awesome, also you can play the complete campaign couch potato coop which makes it much better.
    The story itself it's nothing special but the cartoonish kawaii bombermen designs are very nice.
    The offline player/s vs CPU mode is more enjoyable, the CPU AI is quite competent and you have a ton of well known PlayStation characters and levels to unlock.
    I paid 6 euros for it and I don't regret it but the release full price was way too expensive for this game.    … Expand

    My first Bomberman game and I did not realize it would be hard. Despite that I love the story and the aesthetics of this game. Each Bomberman has personality and character. Wasn't a fan of the 10 stages you would have to go through in each world since it felt tedious to me but like I said this is my first Bomberman game so if this is the norm for the series then I can get over it.

    good for multiplayer for sure but let's hope these games get more satisfying for single player in the future

    Super Bomberman R goes big on multiplayer and brings the fun. The campaign however does not due to a weird balancing act. Thanks to fast gameplay and many characters there is plenty to do even though the in-game currency is way off.

    Super Bomberman R comes to PS4, Xbox One and PC with updated graphics, some brand new features and playable characters, like Ratchet and Clank for PS4 and Master Chief for Xbox One. Besides these plus, it is exactly the same game, extremely enjoyable if played with at least a couple of friends.

    Despite some weak points, Super Bomberman R, is a funny and madly entrance for both classic players and casual ones that are playing a Bomberman for the first time. I recommend you to play it with your friends or for those moments when you need a break and just have fun. The game doesn't pretend to be something else but a Bomberman, and that's why It works.
