    I would have never imagined that taking Pac-Man’s core gameplay and spinning it into a hacker game with a cyberpunk backdrop would make sense or work, but here we are. Cyber Protocol may be repetitive at times and challenging with its trial and error difficulty curve, but at least the soundtrack is absolutely kickass throughout. I’m a sucker for anything cyberpunk, and if it has a kickass synthwave soundtrack, consider me sold. Needless to say, Cyber Protocol checks both of these boxes.

    A puzzle game with cyberpunk aesthetics to which you can throw a couple of minutes each day or tie yourself to the couch and not take off until all the areas are completed.

    Cyber Protocol on Xbox One is a kind of PAC-MAN/TRON hybrid; one that takes the shiny neon visuals of the 1980s, mixes in a collect-the-dots, maze-based mechanic and runs with it. The story is completely redundant - it makes literally no difference to the game that you are playing - and while the challenge is good, the input lag and repetition aren't.

    Cyber Protocol is an alright puzzle game, but doesn’t really extend to be anything beyond that. It carries some levels that will keep you busy for a while, but the constant trial and error will soon wear you out and you’ll get bored of it easily. The retro graphics and 80’s synth music creates a great atmosphere, but content wise it’s empty.

You play as a hacker in some distant future, who finds a disk with encrypted data, so you do what you do as a hacker, and Hack. And that's it for the story as its a simple backdrop to the real game. With a Pac-Man like aesthetic overlayed with pulsating neon lights, you will navigate 100 maze-like puzzles in Cyber Protocol. Much like Pac-Man, you do navigate the stage collecting dots, and other items, but you can't just turn when you want to, once you chose a direction, you will move that direction until you come in contact with a solid object. On the surface, these 100 levels look like repetitive pathfinding, but if you actually play through the levels, and seek out finding everything, the game is loaded with challenging puzzles that will really make you think. Every level or so you're faced with some new obstacle to interfere with your progress, and though aesthetically the game doesn't evolve much, the levels do. The game's soundtrack shines through with bumping synth tracks that feel urgent and keep pace with your avatar zipping along the stage. Cyber Protocol is an intensely addictive puzzle game, and for those who like to collect things, look everywhere on these stages! Expand
