![]() With whip attacks, dash moves, and more, there's plenty to get to grips with. It's hard to say if any are seriously over-powered at this stage, but I certainly enjoyed playing around with Snake's invisibility ability, even if it also got me trouble once or twice. It's here that things get really interesting as some of the different characters bring game-changing special abilities that further mix up the gameplay. Increasing screen readability is also a good reason to pick one of the avatars themed around some truly classic Konami IPs, with characters such as Snake, Pyramid Head, and Simon Belmont. It's not terminal by any stretch of the imagination and we were never left waiting indefinitely, but the game's online-only focus binds its fate to that of its host platform, Google Stadia. That's an understandable side effect of releasing exclusively on a growing yet still relatively-new platform, but in a multiplayer game where you'll die often and want to return to the action promptly, it's a more prominent issue than it would be on another console. Like Sekiro before it, SBRO gives the player the chance to die twice before being kicked from the game, and that reprieve is a godsend as it can take a little while to get into a new game. Interestingly, while there are a couple of areas where the game feels substantially different, not least the new player count of 64, the majority of Super Bomberman R Online also manages to feel like slipping on a well-worn jumper and, if you've played a game in the series before, it won't take you long to work out how everything works (although to be fair, Konami could have made things easier and there is a lot that isn't explained well). Super Bomberman R Online, the new multiplayer-only Stadia-exclusive, appealed to me not only because I'm intrigued by the dynamics of the battle royale concept and its many executions, but also because I wanted to see how much the series has evolved over the years (in particular, SBRO looks a lot like 2017's Super Bomberman R). It's a maze-based action-puzzle game that has stood the test of time thanks to its distinctive and addictive signature gameplay that has you scurrying around on grid-based arenas, dropping bombs that can both reveal upgrades hidden in blocks and blow your opponents to oblivion. Just in case you've been living under a rock, Bomberman has been around for almost 35 years.
