    An addictive puzzler with a great soundtrack, good graphics, responsive controls and a number of fun modes to play. Would wait for a price drop, though, as I wouldn’t recommend it at it’s $30 price point.

    The perfect game for puzzlers and less positive opinions for hardcore users. It seems a little bit boring compared to the pre-version of Mr. Driller. However, the sound effect and the main music playing behind the play was really awesome. I hope to see more of Mr. Driller game more often. Work!! Namco!!

    I am so glad that the best Mr. Driller game got localized! Did you know: you can skip cutscenes by pressing + or start! I am saying this because PC players don't know this.

    A challenging but fun time, boosted by great replayability. [Issue #48 – September/October 2020, p. 25]

    A wonderful puzzler with a marvellous aesthetic. Like a children's anime come to life, Mr. DRILLER DrillLand is utterly charming and delightful. Every attraction looks great, delivering sharp, vibrant, and colourful stages in every attraction. As good as it looks, it plays even better. A simple and addictive core basis that has the heart of a classic matching colour puzzler but adds an exhilarating twist to the proceedings with the drilling mechanics. This should be a no brainer purchase, but there's something that will put off many players. It's called the Atlantic Ocean. For some reason, the asking price is literally double in the US than it is in the EU. A baffling and disappointing decision that will sadly stop this reaching as many homes as it should.

    Mr. Driller Drill Land is a remaster of a game from a previous generation and eighteen years later, we can say that it does a good job at improving the original experience and bringing it up to today's standards. Varied, challenging and fun, Drill Land on the Nintendo Switch packs a lot of fun action, whether the experience is solo or with up to four players.
