Summary
BombFest adds to the ever growing list of must own Nintendo Switch multiplayer games, It is stupidly good fun. Having you character play/act out like a Sumo wrestler means games are always on the edge, Bombs are not easy to escape from, The levels look lush and full of fun. The game does have bot support so single players can enjoy the game but to be honest the game just explodes into life when you have 3 friends with you, Carnage, Luck and most importantly fun! If you are looking for a new multiplayer game, You cannot go wrong with BombFest, You have full match setup control, The different bomb types really mix it up. I wish it had other game types but to be honest it does the one mode just fine.
