The game doesn't inherently have any major flaws or anything, but it's just not that fun. A friend described it as "the type of ♥♥♥♥ you see people playing in movies" and that's probably the best description for this I've heard. It's not good. It's not bad. It simply exists. I would never recommend it to anyone tho

PAC-MAN might not be the best game I have ever played. But it's a fun game and it holds a very special place in my heart. It brings back so many great memories of playing with friends back in the PlayStation 1 era. 7/10 ✅

The Classic Is Back I'm not gonna lie — nostalgia does a lot of the heavy lifting here, but it's the good kind of nostalgia. Pac-Man World Re-Pac is easily the best way to experience this PS1 classic. The graphics have been completely updated, the controls feel much smoother, and the game is simply more enjoyable by modern standards. Of course, it doesn't reach the level of a contemporary Mario title, but it's still …

The game is solidly constructed, and seems like a well done remake as far as I can tell, but I think this entry is just a bit boring for an adult to play. Not much use to your unique moveset, 90 percent of the game is straightforward platforming, the levels are about twice as long as they should be, but don't provide enough challenge to be engaging from moment to moment. The completion criteria of "get everything" …

This game is not just a game to me. PAC-MAN WORLD was the very first game I ever played in my life on PlayStation 1, before I even went to school. I was around 3 or 4 years old. I didn’t know how to read, I didn’t know how to write, I didn’t understand games the way I do now. I was just a child playing, feeling happiness without knowing why. Alongside Driver, this game was a huge part of my childhood. Years later, I …

87% of the 179 Steam reviewers we collected recommend PAC-MAN WORLD Re-PAC. The complaint that keeps coming up: extremely easy with little challenge. Deal-breaker or nitpick?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Pac-Man World was well received by critics for its gameplay, soundtrack, graphics and originality, holding an 81% score on aggregator website GameRankings though the GBA version held a score of 59.00%. By 2007, the game had sold over 1.24 million copies in North America alone. Worldwide, the game sold 1.5 million units. GameSpot compared the game favorably to Namco's own Klonoa: Door to Phantomile, praising its colorful graphics, character animations and controls, concluding that it was "worthy of anyone's library". IGN had a similar response, liking the game's originality, graphics and soundtrack — they especially praised its gameplay for standing out among other platform games, with its…

negative · AI labelView post →Waka Waka The perfect combination of tight, fast, roll high platformer in all levels of mayhem. The game reminded me of Klonoa where levels merge with 3D-2D perspective. The challenge is always welcoming suprise with discovering secrets and beating best scores. Very fun level design and not to demanding for every age of the player. Just one more vitamin C into your belly.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pac-Man World Re-Pac It's Pac-Man World! If you liked the original PS1 game, you'll probably get a kick out of this. Not too much was changed, which is fine, but looking at how much was added to World 2 Re-Pac, it makes this seem kind of like an easily skippable footnote

neutral · AI labelView post →A really chill and enjoyable platformer. I especially like that you can 100% every level on the first try, with no need for backtracking. The maze and mega pacman sequences are great throwbacks to classic pacman gameplay. The only part i didn’t enjoy was the slot machine at the end of each level - it’s easily one of the SLOWEST and most unrewarding slots in all of gaming. Also, with the fixed camera and no shadow marker under the player, it’s often hard to judge jumps and landings. Other than…

neutral · AI labelView post →My first impressions of Pac-Man World Re-Pac are: it's fun! It's a relatively simple platformer, but it is also a remake of an older game, so that's to be expected. That being said, the controls feel really good! It also has elements familiar to Pac-Man, the top-down special stages are cool!
