Critic Reviews for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is an absurdly content-rich fighting game experience with a massive roster of fighters and a slew of entertaining match types.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is Smash Bros. done right, and done bigger than ever before.
A chaos of details and features come together for one of the Switch's most generous - and exhilarating - games.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate takes characters we've played for decades and remasters them into a robust, fantastically enjoyable package
Easily the best Smash Bros. ever made, with a fantastic new story campaign and a near infinite range of characters and options for multiplayer.
A wealth of tweaks and new additions like the World of Light campaign help to keep Ultimate from feeling like a greatest-hits retread
Ultimate is a comprehensive, considered, and charming package that refines and builds on Smash's already strong and enduring fighting system.
