Bomberman Story on the GBA is exactly what you'd hope for—classic grid-based bombing chaos with just enough story to keep things interesting. You start off in these tight little mazes, dropping bombs to clear paths and take out enemies, and before long you're juggling power-ups that change everything. That extra bomb range? Suddenly you're the king of the maze.

The pixel art holds up surprisingly well, and the controls are simple enough that you'll be blowing up walls within seconds. What surprised me was how the puzzles actually make you think—sometimes you'll hit a room where brute force won't cut it, and you've gotta time your explosions just right. And yeah, there's a story about saving the world or whatever, but let's be real—you're here to watch things explode in satisfying little chain reactions.

If you've ever played a Bomberman game before, this one feels like slipping into a favorite pair of shoes. If you haven't, it's a great place to start before the addiction kicks in.
