Decades of sub-par copycats haven't dulled the appeal of Puzzle Bobble and while there's too few new ideas this is an effective reboot for what remains a classic match-three puzzler.

Solid and definitely has an audience. There could be some hard-to-ignore faults, but the experience is fun.

Puzzle Bobble EveryBubble! It is the usual classic puzzle, but with new types of pomp, puzzles and challenges, with the incentive that almost all content, except online modes, can be enjoyed by up to 4 simultaneous players. Even with these novelties, it does not reinvent the wheel, but it is still a safe bet for lovers of the genre.

Puzzle Bobble is simply one of the most popular and played puzzle games in videogames history. In this new edition we find the usual gameplay but also many new modes including... Space Invaders. If you love the series, don't pass it up.

In 2023, it's nice to know that an old formula still works. Taito overloaded the cute-ness on this title. The online mode is a nice touch, and definitely extra points for the Space Invaders crossover. Plus, who can turn down online Puzzle Bobble? Puzzle Bobble fans, this one's for you. PAYOMPA!

Puzzle Bobble Everybubble! feels like a fitting, worthy new entry in the long-running series. There's a rich mixture of single and multiplayer/online modes on offer here, and though the AI bots can leave something to be desired, this is overall a well-rounded and appealing package that's sure to appeal to any action puzzle fans. We'd give this one a recommendation to anyone looking for an addictive puzzler that doesn't require too much mental investment to 'get' and that keeps you on your toes. The simple and brilliant game design on display here is admirable and it's sure to eat up hours of your time once it gets its hooks in you.

While I can't say I'll reach for this over its predecessors, Puzzle Bobble Everybubble! Is a good (replayable) entry more often than not, and recommended. Younger players and families who can enjoy local co-op should have this higher on their wishlist than solo players who might wait for a sale (or update with more online options). The new Puzzle Bobble vs. Space Invaders is a sizable draw!

Puzzle Bobble Everybubble is another solid entry in this long running series that delivers plenty of bubble popping fun. Being able to play the story mode with multiple players is cool and while there isn’t a ton of gameplay variety, there is still plenty to sink your teeth into.

Puzzle Bobble Everybubble! is a super addictive and cutesy game that's fun to play both single-player and with friends. I would have loved the option to change the music as it becomes quite irritating when you hear it repeatedly due to difficult stages.

Puzzle Bobble Everybubble! offers something for both young and adult players. The basic concept is simple and easy for everyone to grasp. However, over time, it presents a decent challenge, allowing you to choose more difficult levels that truly test your intellect, speed, and reflexes. It is a pleasant puzzle game that fills your leisure time well, with few shortcomings - occasional imbalance in difficulty, a lack of significant new features, annoying character voices, and some subpar sound effects.

The variety of levels and mechanics make each stage feel like its own puzzle, and the unlockable EX stages offer a stout challenge for those so inclined. The amount of content within the story mode in particular and the way EveryBubble scales based on the number of players lead me to give it a hearty recommendation. It could use a few more options in VS mode and extras in the main menu, but overall this is a puzzler well worth busting a move to.

Puzzle Bobble Everybubble! is a good game, and it’s absolutely fine fare if you don’t already own a version of Taito’s venerable series. The new quirks don’t break anything fundamental, and that’s for the best in terms of maintaining series quality. At the same time, the new modes don’t add a lot.

Puzzle Bobble Everybubble is therefore a section that neatly ticks off all the options you would expect from a new Puzzle Bobble game. But the new additions make the game feel a lot harder and more rushed than before. The game contains tons of levels, but offers little extra around it to give you a nice goal to go through it all. With only two modes, you have little to choose from. It remains Puzzle Bobble and the formula is still entertaining after all these years, but it manages to surprise or innovate little.

Puzzle Bobble Everybubble! is a worthy new addition to this venerable series, offering a plethora of modes and a well-rounded package. From a lengthy Story mode to robust Versus modes to lots of bonus content, there's something here for everyone. Bub and Bob are back and better than ever, and as a longtime fan, I couldn't be happier.
