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.

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.

Super Bomberman R is very much a Bomberman game. It does little new for the franchise but excels in what the franchise is known for, which is being a fantastically moreish multiplayer free-for-all that always begs for one more go.

Super Bomberman R makes its grand debut on PlayStation 4 without any significant changes. The fun part of the game stays with its story mode as well as the local multiplayer, due to the fact that there are barely any active online sessions. The gameplay, albeit simple and effective, feels old-fashioned and it becomes repetitive after some time.

While future Bomberman games have the potential to assert themselves as more lengthy and strategy-demanding titles deserving of a mind-blowing rating, the current release really is just lighthearted and fun … and that’s just fine.

Super Bomberman R is living among a wave of re-imagines of classic titles and often feels too traditional for its own good.
