    The wacky, zany, old-school platforming levels and the amount of remade content makes PAC MAN WORLD: RE-PAC one of the best arcadey platformers on Switch. The only downsides are how Ms. Pac Man is replaced by PAC-MOM, and how the music is unchanged. Otherwise, this is a PAC-TACULAR remake and is incredibly good.

    Having a bouncing mechanic as opposed to a double jump made progression interested and I loved all of the ways classic Pac-Man bits were incorporated into 3D. Some older platformers feel as though they're attempting to cash in on the success of their more successful brethren, but I can tell this game was made with a lot of thought, and plenty of heart and soul.

Unlike most older 3D platformers that were products of their era, this game delivered a stand out experience that made it really stand on its own. It's far from perfect, plenty of levels made me rage at times, and I was often reminded why I don't usually play older games in the genre due to the difficulty spikes. Still this charming adventure always kept me coming back for more and led to a fantastic conclusion I was delighted by. Pac-Man World Re-Pac was a charming little journey to experience, and if you need a casual game to play on the go, you could do way worse than a trip to Ghost Island. Expand

    A simple but fun 3D platformer, Re-Pac is a remake of a PS1 game. I have no familiarity with the original Pac-Man World, but I really enjoyed this title. It certainly feels dated, but that wasn't much of a hindrance as the core gameplay holds up well. The title has a lot of charm, and I really enjoyed playing through the different levels and finding collectibles. Though the game isA simple but fun 3D platformer, Re-Pac is a remake of a PS1 game.

    Pac-Man World Re-Pac is a remake of the 1999 original and it does a good job at bringing the Pac-Man platformer to our day and age, with its remarkable visual renovation and significant improvements to the controls and gameplay mechanics. Nonetheless this is a game that fans of more modern platformers will find rather limited, given how its structure mostly reflects the time of its original release with worlds that are completely separated from each other and a camera that is far from dynamic.

    Frustrations aside, I will say that at its core, Pac-Man World Re-Pac is still a solid platformer. You have to get yourself into a 1999 frame of mind in order to appreciate its action, but once you do, you can genuinely enjoy the quest to rescue Pac-Man's guests.

    There are many platformers out there deserving of a remake. Sadly, Pac-Man World Re-PAC doesn’t do much to earn one. It feels dated, with uninspired gameplay and basic level design. A few fun bosses and Pac-Man mazes can’t save it.
